“Surrender and I vow you will remain dead.”

Disillusioned by the stagnant progress of contemporary arcane academia in healing arts, Vesper cast aside morality to embrace necromancy. His eccentric behavior often breaks the norms associated to spellcasters, not least of all, an eagerness to engage opponents in melee if the situation demands it. This has led some to incorrectly believe Vesper is a hired brute who serves an even greater authority.

“No matter how horrendous the crime or terrible the tragedy, once enough time has passed, the short-lived relegate it into forgotten legend. Lost remembrance that can be exploited over and over, centuries after centuries, until repeated ignorance destroys them.”

Izan’thir was born a peasant and rose in recognition through exemplary battlefield action. Elevated into the clandestine House Sele’nara, he serves as an operator for the royal court: an individual dispatched to resolve affairs and neutralize threats through saboteur. Such operations are disavowed by the Crown, therefore necessitating equal amounts of loyalty and discretion. In such secrecy he bears the identity of Izan Selara: a nomad unable to return home until the short lived have forget his nefarious deed.

“I could provide guaranteed safe passage through the forgotten lands. Of course such perilous wayfinding would not be done out of mere generosity.”

Shinare was an orphan raised by itinerant mercenaries. Throughout his youth the regiment fought across mountainous territories where Shinare learnt swordsmanship ubiquitous to the region. He would later come into possession of an ancient blade that promised incalculable power in exchange for slaughter in its name. The deal was struck, and though in time Shinare realized the magnitude of his mistake, he adheres to his end of the bargain so long as the sword maintains its role in kind.
