Personality: This man loves music and to teach people music more than just about anything. The war was a terrible time for him, and Vanuath does not often speak of it. When he does, he does so with a strained expression and tears in his eyes.

History: He was born several months after his mother was called into army service. In his youth he was part of a gang. He got caught, but did not rat out his comrades and served his time in prison.

Description: He appears as an extremely gaunt Elf, and stands approximately 5'5". He likes to wear ponchos typically of a light green in addition to tight pants, and his gloved hand is found clutching a shield. His black hair is greying along the sides and has receded to reveal a widow's peak. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: Deceptive and manipulative this western guy figured out how to best use his charms to convince people to do what he wants. He would rather hide behind his crafts than deal with other people.

History: Sold as a small child to a brothel owner, Eiravel was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared. 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. He has never given up on his music dream.

His hazel eyes dart from person to person to random spaces in the air.

Personality: He is intelligent and cunning, but he will too often allow his rage to get the better of him. He will lose his cool and rely on brute force to carry the day. He is a ruthless business man, a trait he acquired from his mother.

History: He served in the navy to pay for his family's outstanding loans. He graduated from the Naval Academy and went to see the world at the rank of Ensign. He advanced relatively quickly due to his good work ethic, understanding of the chain of command, and natural leadership ability.

History: Born in the south to a Marshal, Galinndan learned a great deal about his father's area of expertise. He was one of the best in his class, and was picked up by his current employer.
