History: Galinndan hails from a village terrorized by giants. He sought a place where he would be rewarded solely on the merits of his skills.

Personality: He is a very happy person and has lots of energy. To put it simply, he's a very lovable idiot. He is used to getting what he wants. In part because he is a meticulous planner.

History: He was always a brilliant, if unscrupulous mind. While he appears to be a normal Elf, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in.

Personality: He likes to make people angry or surprised. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Ahvain is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Born in the south to a Barber, Ahvain learned a great deal about his father's area of expertise. His parents divorced when he was young, and his father gained full cudstody.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. Aramil was a troubled youth. He spent his days as a hard laborer instead of attending school, and spent his evenings with numerous mobsters and gang members. Aramil decided he wanted neither the life of his mother nor that of the evil petty criminals he associated with.
