The World and Tribulation of Johan; Allies and Lovers, enemies and antagonists. Antagonists; [hider=Hildebrand] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/a4/60/13/a46013a570098bbcd91eb0272e2ff6b4.jpg[/img] [/hider] Scandinavias greatest Necromancer. And there is quite a few of them, seeing how the regions history is one of blood and constant war up untill the 1800's. Hildebrand is a contract mage, a mercenary of magic. Born to a a family of cultists, she mastered magic at a early age. Her fascination with death and the Norse afterlife was what lead her down the path towards necromancy. Her familys cult didn't like this, being worshippers of Frey, the opposite of Hel, the caretaker of death. Chased out, she became a recluse who did nothing but dedicate herself to her craft. The first time she met Johan, it was just before he found the temple of Frost Giants. She warned him not to make the journey, offering instead to make him her apprentice. He declined and took the journey, now knowing magic was actually real. When he came back, he was a fullfledged rune-mage and the champion of a non-human king. This enraged Hildebrand, who saw Johan as a cheat who took shortcuts.

Have killed many of Johans charges when she found them overstepping boundries. No matter how small or petty their crimes. She belongs to the "Holy Order of The Silver Sword", a french ofshot of the Hospitalers. They are witch hunters and mage killers who deem any and all magic a blasphemy. They are not a very nice bunch. They have been almost completely wiped out as their zealotry put them up against some very angry magic users of considerable power a hundred years ago. [hider=The Three Kings] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c6/b9/48/c6b9487f3d3fb29f0e0c0236728ba965.jpg[/img] [/hider] A mysterious and powerful trio of ancient practitioners, The Three are never separated and never alone. People argue they are the Crones of Nordic lore, or the three witches of McBeth. Nobody really knows. They were there when magic began, and they will be there when the magic finally fades. They have a somewhat antagonistic relationship towards Johan, as they do not respect his authority and do not consider the Elven King a real ruler. They often aid Johans enemies with information, but always at a high price. [hider=The Thing Beyond The Border] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/fb/c9/ba/fbc9ba1149a92e5ce0f674c1a2970afc.jpg[/img] [/hider] A creature of immense power, presumably kept out by the gods. Johan has nightmares about it. It's is reanimated and vengeful corpse of the greatest of all giants: Ymir. [hider=Mr Choi] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8a/eb/f5/8aebf59dac9d306bb009867d70d28c8f.jpg[/img] [/hider] Mr Cho is a violent thug who also happens to be very good at the art of Invocation. He has worked for muscle in a number of occult tied mob hits around New York. Rune has put him in the grave twice. The only issue with that is that Mr Choi is immortal zombie more or less. [hider=The Mad Court] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/e7/ee/f6/e7eef624d05704496de6785503c949e7.jpg[/img] [/hider] A contingent of completely insane elves who pester Johan. They have no leader and their agenda is foggy at best. What is clear is that thy really do not like Johan. The Court are all magicians of some power and completly off their rockers. They come disguised, often sporting a Jester motif and they kill EVERYTHING in their way. They have long been a thorn in the side of the King. [b]Allies[/b] [hider=The Keeper] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/e4/c2/14/e4c2148be1a10822ddcfd631487a705f.jpg[/img] [/hider] A entity that is something of a wandering librarian. He often helps Johan for a price. The Keeper is last of a sect of sages who wear iron masks from the moment they join. They never show their face and cover every part of themselves in metal armor. The smell of rot about them indicates they might all be undead. [hider=Otto Von Bell] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/6e/06/28/6e0628023d838bad7371b1dd32c1e49e.jpg[/img] [/hider] A old friend of Runes, Otto is not in fact, a normal werewolf. He is a shaman who happens to turn into a wolf trough magic. A Hexen-Wolf if you will. Part of a German-Dutch cabal of old pagan practioners, he has outmost respect towards Johan and Johan to him.
