Kriegon
At 28, Kriegon—once Wayne Walker—bears a life shattered by loss: his parents died in military service during his teenage years, and his squad, the brothers who pushed him toward college, were killed while he studied, hurling him into a spiraling abyss of grief. Renamed Kriegon after a Gamertag from cherished gaming days with his father, he emerged from a brush with Lucifer that spawned Vladimir—his darker half, a shadow of Wayne’s own rage and despair. Now in Maeglover, Kriegon fights to repair the chaos Vladimir unleashes, a haunted man teetering between hope and oblivion, desperate to restore balance and reclaim his purpose before his past destroys what he as come to love.

Garthen Brus
At 34, Grathen, a former commander at Windmontley, is a scarred shell of the military man he once was, his body and soul ravaged by a possession ritual that left his skin like cracked coal and his eyes glowing a volatile, mood-shifting red. The ritual claimed his beloved wife, Bella, and his daughter, Beatrice, driving Grathen into a spiraling abyss of anguish. Once a disciplined soldier, he as taken command of the Guardians. However, his mind consumed by vengeful, wrathful thoughts as he battles to destroy the demons and all those allied with them.
Ellena Rona
At 22, Ellena, a beastkin Neko girl, bears the grace of her Asceriate heritage—a land of elves and beastkin—yet carries the scars of a shattered past: her parents, ambassadors to Transcendent after its war with Asceriate, were brutally slain in the demon assault on Maeglover while she was safely away in Riversong, leaving her drowning in guilt and grief. Now, with her cat-like agility and unyielding spirit, she clings to the Guardians, a band of outcasts in this foreign land, as her new family, vowing to protect them at all costs. Haunted by the fear of losing another family, Ellena fights with a desperate ferocity, her every move a defiant stand against the cruel fate that stole her parents, determined to hold her new kin together or die trying.

Rei
At 50, Rei Darkwing appears barely in her early twenties due to her race’s slow growth and maturity, a cruel irony for a mage doctor once on the cusp of a destined path—set to wed and heal through ritual in high society—before a mysterious transfer derailed her life. Now, she aches to rewind time, yearning to reclaim her dream of becoming a mother and doctor, a longing intensified by the ritual she missed, leaving her terrified it’s too late as the void in her heart widens. Teaching magic to others becomes her fragile lifeline, a way to fill the emptiness, yet she envies the relationships blossoming around her, her deepest fear—a life barren of motherhood—gnawing at her soul as she battles to forge meaning from the ashes of her lost destiny.

Zenmore

After the transfer, he found a new purpose with the Guardians, a band of outcasts whose adventures are just beginning, and Zenmore can’t wait to roar their tales of glory—his booming voice eager to boast of every hard-won fight and daring exploit. Driven by an insatiable hunger for battle and a fierce pride in his new comrades, Zenmore charges into each challenge with reckless might, determined to carve his name and the Guardians’ legacy into the annals of legend before their saga even truly begins.

Saphire
Saphire, a fierce and unyielding spirit, harbors a deep-seated hatred for all orcs—Zenmore among them—despite his role in saving her from humans after the transfer, her pride scorched by the debt she owes him as she yearns to break free and return to her people. Driven by a relentless mission to bring magic to her kind for the first time, she sees Maeglover as a critical stepping stone, swiftly taking up command among the humans with a natural authority that bends them to her will. Her fiery resolve to empower her people clashes with the bitter weight of her past, Saphire’s every decision a calculated strike against the orcs she despises, as she fights to lead her newfound allies and carve a path to victory in a world that tests her at every turn.
