Description: A man with thick toned arms and a paunchy gut. He wears a grey small hat and grey clothes. His green crest is singed and shortened. This red eyed southerner is not easily forgotten.

History: Sold as a small child to a necromancer, Mehen was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared.

Description: He is a man of bearing and well nourished. He likes to wear ponchos typically of a light black in addition to tight pants. He has no hair. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He is obsessed with finding treasure.

History: When he was but 7 years old his parents immigrated from the west. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Soveliss took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up scythe and armor he uses now. He left for the west, certain he would find work there.
