Father Dara
Age: 23

 A quiet but supremely gifted pupil who was once the Protector of Warband Seraph, Dara's ethereal might was frightening. It was whispered throughout the halls of the Seminary that he possessed the deepest and most potent pool of ether among all of the current trainees, and had enough skill in manipulating it that it was said that he could hold an aegis indefinitely. Unfortunately, Dara struggled in all other aspects. He suffered from severe mental and emotional deficiencies, and had extreme difficulties in physical combat, war strategy, and academics. If not for his terrifying skill in ether, and if Mother Indira had not taken him under her wing, he would have left the church long ago.

As the only other graduate of Mother Indira's Circle of Summoners, Dara had pursued the mastering of this art obsessively, both because he believed it to be his sole purpose for living and because he claimed to feel a strange kinship with the demons of the Black Glacier.

When Dara disappeared, it not only broke Indira's heart, but also enraged her to no end. This boy, who she had mentored and shepherded for most of his life, had in all intents and purposes betrayed her. Dara's current whereabouts are unknown. Several inquisitors have been dispatched to hunt him down, as he poses a great danger to the empire. None have been able to find him thus far.

Vicar Magnus
Age:24

Magnus was once a pupil of the Red Seminary, where he was both hated and feared among the trainee populace due to his cruel and calculated disposition. Once the "shining star" of Warband Seraph, Magnus was talented in both ether ability and martial skill, but the young man's keen and sharp intellect was what really separated him from the pack. Continually placing among the top-ranked trainees in war strategy milestones, Magnus was as capable a trainee as they came, so much so that he often complained of being bored within the Red Seminary. To relieve his so-called boredom, he delighted in torturing younger pupils both physically and emotionally, claiming that he was in fact helping them with their training. As the favored pupil of Bishop Aleksandre, who once served as the head of Varya's inquisitorial force during the Lanostran War, Magnus' extracurricular activities were often swept under the rug.

After an incident involving Mother Ziotea which saw him suffer grave injuries which he would never completely recover from, the former star of Seraph was forced to vacate his spot in the Seminary and was instead transferred to the Holy Academy within the Great Basilika, where he excelled, all while seething with hatred at the young woman who ended his dream of serving as an inquisitor.

Magnus, despite his age, has recently ascended to the office of divine vicar, which now affords him some authority over the invasion. He recently departed for the land of El aboard the ark Durandal, and now strives to bring the wild continent to heel.

Lieutenant Lev Dragonov
Age: 42

A veteran of the Lanostran War, Lev proved himself on the battlefield as a shrewd and talented sniper and leader. Serving under Commander Zoya Kiriyev, he acted as her constant companion and right-hand for the majority of their time in the war, complimenting her defensive-minded planning with risky but ingenious strategies that led to many victories against the Lanostran army. 

Ten years after the war's end, Lev retired from the military and spent many years traveling throughout the empire on what he calls a "journey of self-discovery", leading him to travel to remote locations such as Sydon-Mar in Omestris. Like Commander Zoya, he was forced back into active duty to fight in the invasion of El. Once again serving under Zoya, he will soon depart for El aboard the VSS Karamzina to act as military support for the newly ordained Warband Phoenix.

Lieutenant Rexus Lycaon
Age: 43

A former officer in the Lanostran Guard, Lt Rexus Lycaon was a promising soldier during the war but suffered a devastating injury that saw him miss most of the fighting. Like a lot of his fellow countrymen, he felt lost and broken after the goddess surrendered to Lord Varya, and upon recovering from his wounds, declined an offer to join the Varyan military and instead focused his energies on fighting against the empire. Five years spent as the captain of a Lanostran pirate crew earned him a dangerous reputation on the icefields, as well as a fierce rival in Lieutenant Lev Dragonov of Varya, who spent years trying to capture him.

Eventually, their rivalry ended after Dragonov got the better of him during a naval battle, and Lycaon was brought back to his former home of Sapharan in chains to answer for his crimes. Sentenced to death, Lycaon was held in the sky prisons of the High City for months. A week before his execution, he received an unexpected visitor. Lev Dragonov stood in his cell, and informed him that his execution would be stayed. Instead, Lycaon would serve two decades of hard time in the Icevault of Muraad, a prison meant for the empire's most dangerous criminals. And thus, Lycaon served his time in the frigid prison. Ten long years passed, and one day, Lev appeared before him again. This time, he made Lycaon an offer he couldn't refuse.

"I need you. Fight for me and I'll set you free from this place."

It didn't take Lycaon very long to agree to these terms.

Private Andrei Semenov
Age: 15

A young SA conscript currently serving as a Church liason at the Marian Gate, the lone Varyan garrison overlooking the corpseland of Omestris. Due to a childhood spent struggling for survival in the slums of Magnagrad alongside Omestrian slaves, Semenov believes it is his life's purpose to do everything in this power to aid and help the enslaved race in any way he can. A devout follower of the inquisitor Mother Indira al Sayed, he wears her divine emblem on a pendant as a symbol of his fervent belief in freedom for the Omestrian people.

Deva Tsu'kasa
Age: 20

Daughter of the renowned engineer Amir Tsu'kasa, Deva is a young T'saraen mechanist and shipwright who has spent most of her life working on naval craft in the imperial drydocks of Cero. She is frivolous above all else and cares little for anything outside her field, the hierarchy of the Faith occupying such a small amount of space in her general worldview that she barely registers them at all. 

Since Deva was a child, she has worked on the VSS Grace, the old battleship that will soon depart for El alongside her father's magnum opus, the Karamzina. Now acting as the Grace's head mechanic, Deva loves the old ship more than anything.

Mother Elisheva
Age: 24

A talented young inquisitor who has served in Lanostre since graduating as part of Warband Seraph a year ago, Elisheva is a warrior above all else. One of Gregoroth's favorite pupils, Elisheva spent most of her time in the Seminary sharpening herself to be a wicked blade for the empire to wield against its enemies. Much to her anger, the Church did not choose her for deployment to El, and thus she remained on Lanostre, where she would provide some much-needed security for the nation, which is now bereft of inquisitors and soldiers. 

Elisheva was born with a strange birth defect which has caused her right pupil to be colored red, making her possess a strange mismatched gaze which is at once both disquieting and strangely beautiful.
