Crowley, Plague Baron (Utility) 20 HP & 3 MS
Consumed by the plague unleashed on his provincial town, but kept alive by relics, Crowley the plague Baron lived - while the rest of his friends and family perished from the flesh consuming disease. Crowley wields the contagion blade, carries a bag of plague infected body parts, and unleashes a flesh consuming pox upon enemies. His only companions are the near-carrion-looking rats that survived the plague with him. The Plague Baron wanders the world in search of the bastards that carried the plague-infected corpses into his beloved town, so that he may bring them to justice. “I am the commander of the plague, and where I go, death follows.”
One of the last remaining Demons to live through the Great Culling, the Demon King survived and came into power of a city-state due to his savage ruthlessness. He guards and commands Urkthil with an iron and blood-soaked fist, and the people of Urkthil fear and respect him for it. Regions surrounding Urkthil have never conquered the region due to the harsh, icy terrain and brutal warriors raised there… and with a Demon Monarch, that prospect became even less appealing. His sword is the coffin lid of the king he conquered when he came to power. “Fear. Respect. Brutality. Live those truths and you will go far under my reign.”
Mary the Brutal was found in the arms of her dead Urkthilian mother, when she was only a few days old. She was adopted by the Commander of the Queen’s guard in Havenholm, and was raised from a child to be a fearless warrior. She hits hard, is somewhat of a beer snob, has armor as strong as a bloodwood tree, and is as salty as the Leviathan Sea. “This grog has the taste of Waverly grain, and a hint of asshole. I hope you hit harder than this piss-swill.”
The Country of Feranthis has never had a Saint, so it has been conquered by numerous Kingdoms, year after year. The son of a disgraced king, from an empire with no Saint to protect them, the God Killer was charged by his father to find armor and weapons strong enough to kill saints. After discovering ancient tombs and stealing their relics, he has begun his unholy quest to slaughter all Saints so that his home may have a chance to be safe from the invading Saints. “I am no Saint, for I prey on the Gods.”
A Warden charged with vanquishing Dead Gods in Bloodwood Forest, Sadie carries her demi-God baby on her back everywhere she roams, along with her saint-forged blade. Her collection of relics and demi-God baby-boy give her unusual abilities to fight supernatural enemies. She’ll also never miss a chance to regale compatriots or enemies with gory details of her son’s birth. “I gave birth to my boy while simultaneously fighting off Dead Gods in Bloodwood Forest. Remind me of your complaint again?”
Scarred from wars and surviving horrific dungeons, Viktor is well versed in pain and confessions. His legs are missing from below his knees, and how they were taken is a mystery he refuses to solve. He carries an Iron Maiden chained to his back, an Iron whip, and has a gallows sense of humor. His ability to attain information from tight-lipped enemies of kingdom is world renown. “There’s only been one man who’s been able to withstand my torture and still refuse to confess. I released him from captivity, allowing him to blindly crawl away with his bloody stumps carrying him forward. He earned it. I still have his tongue as a reminder to keep improving my confession-acquiring skills.”
An intrepid dark age ship captain and crusty marine, the Leviathan Hunter scours the oceans for massive sea monsters. He hurls massive chained harpoons that are connected to his gauntlets. This adventurous son of a bitch has a tattoo of every sea monster he’s killed… but he’s saving a spot for the Leviathan that killed his Ma. “Breathing in the sea air while carving up the corpse of a Leviathan will always take me back to my childhood.”
In the lawless territories within Kingdoms, Trajan hunts rogues and criminals that break the laws of the Saints. With the Monarch’s authority, the Righteous Executioner casts judgement and punishment over the guilty. His massive blade “Relentless” is known by all criminals for the massive number of heads it has claimed. “The names of the guilty are written in blood within the book of judgement. It brings me no joy to swing the sword, but it brings me no guilt either.”
Ophelia the Conjurer is a powerful psychic that uses Saint Martin’s severed head to summon ghosts from the spirit realm, and commands them to fight. She holds the severed (talking, unfortunately) Saint’s head and the fallen Saint's blade. The God Killer decapitated Saint Martin to give Ophelia a way to amplify her necrotic psychic abilities. She rarely speaks, and when she does, it is usually with the dead, who are far more interesting than the living. The Saint, however, never ceases to remind her of his plight. Her reanimated dead cat has also been following her around since her childhood.
Ronan, The Grave Keeper (Utility) 20 HP and 3 MS
A solemn knight with a penchant for morbid traditions, the Grave Keeper buries the dead and, on occasion, the living. His family has interred lords and monarchs for thousands of years within the monasteries and graveyards of Corsul, the City of the Dead. Not only does he guard the crypts from thieves and relic hunters, but he re-inters the dead crawling from the grave. “You would think the City of the Dead would be less lively. Corpse thieves, the dead reanimating… it is my solemn oath to keep Corsul sacred and ensure everyone remains resting eternally.”
After assassinating the Queen of Havenholm, Astar’Al defected from a secret society of Assassins that have been responsible for starting and ending wars. Her orders came directly from the Saint of the Forgotten Sands Desert, but she has lived to regret many of her actions, which has caused her to fallow the God Killer after disagreeing with the edicts of Saints. “I delivered death when the Saints demanded it, now I demand that they die.”
