Height: 177178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bV4JP8kvw
Hair colour: Black178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jwaBkfyk
Eye colour: Yellow178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNnhLqBlVG
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNS8jmnxb
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVgAb25YvC
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nH3BB7aHT
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYUEHLu8Hk
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVnbCCoCIY
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCFPRkMJpX
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfopRlgzqZl
importance lies elsewhere.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4AUMFPaCs
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnBuuRT09u
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QQ6COKo6Y
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLplGRo3D6L
scholars.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQBYJLvvAh
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvskZsxTqYx
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhml5AnTgu
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtMity6xuW
Hair colour: White178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7mNAsgWhJ
Eye colour: Pale Blue178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns4pDudLG5
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIpl5v5ZJC
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDscMh0SV5
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQaUvBCfky
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50II2QKCy9
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjbasnCrB6
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo445lXiOC
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ErY1iWS20
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtnahxjuDR
Hervies simply could not pass on it.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6u8tWQWKm
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoprmNJ04gP
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11wYTh2cDy
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8iIidvROQ
are not his only strength.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WLairWe4k
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQOIbMvcHY
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uST2fLlqh
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ3pho1wll
ever hope to have around.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWT8sEFzq7
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiPqPzDn4x
have been someone important prior to joining?178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTfFVN7Rj
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlG8GL6W6Y
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7DC3A0M17
Hair colour: Red and Blue178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZPJ0PdgK
Eye colour: Pale Blue178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQkBGxpwav
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3gYxtELvs
those she serves with.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPmYhEoGsy
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUjvltozh
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5pxkD8oyx
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVc67uj6Li
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvL8YsaHMp
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWUMLqJZwF
still surrounds her.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR8gaJCvP7
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllSrla7K0J
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewxyHTkq3l
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvnJGpnFfn
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5XGsShyXF
to name it...178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7EQyVxWC1
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtb5zspmEn
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ7n9CEtTo
them until they were heard from no more.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIvdt6zwIR
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ054EqPpN2
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVQIpDTxZu
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVNRDZV1bo
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSDsAoB9sm
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnMOih1r3
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKk18cLLbY
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtyOrPQ3XM
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeW6d4VjOV
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXEcl3kYVj
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUVacuT6qN
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Aj9re18Mg
Hair colour: Pitch Black178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtFcpFi8ke
Eye colour: Green178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tfa4b8N2o
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKYQsK18kK
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFfvxNiaVb
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0HKUsNxB4
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVQ7TE7WEV
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwDMidPFY
and rundown houses.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOdd3Q1p7B
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTz4LOFFct
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4KTUnBUyk
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzWddbgSR0
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhyA5lucoT
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrOREeug0s
Impossible, and yet it was true.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LXipC6ZhP
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KDBp2y35e
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjXSmGqUM1
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdUkKhgytQ
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvxjjxPJWk
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcuqWUITFH
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVrRhXTySe
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxohCFeXIv
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHQEi6DHE8
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ndInTtE1w
or something else of an uncanny nature.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOjHG4LEyV
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDCA8GODww
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTqBInOBFM
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvSynHWmGE
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptFyDXSWjX
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3FEFyND0U
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZUouP5zXN
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhchq1NefSm
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IE29VHDBu
being produced since the last war.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryxAa2hOLk
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqCI7XbQHh
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFlcEL5L2
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnU6yHsLNz
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDFFTN0l6n
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8KIez10k
Hair colour: Golden178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyAsriIgTL
Eye colour: Blue178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vs9qoHpSC
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KVyR58fRJ
through.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrLhsv3NOf
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtv7CxQc5P
stained with flowered scars.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7T3fVkkKe
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEAWQ93vi3
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPGrLW4vl4
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU43iKvQsW4
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD6ajjhbSE
as they get passed across mouth and land.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmerksqiQXM
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDJNaGVjio
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sJc04sZF5
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPcEgSylgZ
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Nxi0wTGC
soldier’s orders.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLS9gxq8Do
And that is but the latest.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp9rKIiWih
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxKyAXpwaO
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWHKc71vgh
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9O5mfVadE
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Hok69HAJ
to follow.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8s10d9dCG
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ImTx2GtD
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDsCM5a0vE
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
