Name: Lacteus of Baldor
Title (former): Knight of the Fourth Pendulum
Age: 134
Homeland: Bengalensis Village
Height: 5’11”
Description: Lacteus is dressed in traditional Baldorian armor; consisting of several layers of inter cooling wool to allow air to seep through; scales that belong to the now extinct Dragons which can resist some of the toughest of steel (except Calistan steel) and has the tendency to even shatter them upon impact with the scales; a small set of light armor for easy mobility and less restriction and a mysterious purple cape that is made of fabric unknown to any but Lacteus himself. What distinguishes Lacteus from the rest of his Baldorian brethren is his helmet and armor color. Instead of the usual bright gold and white coloring that many Baldorians sport on themselves, Lacteus dons a set of light armor colored in silver and grey. Lacteus’ eyes are steel blue.
Bio: Years after the Battle of Thresta, the Zanthran people enjoyed years of peace, but not without keeping a careful eye on their neighbors. Tension between Zanthra and Brustia became high when Brustian colonists began colonizing several landmarks made forbidden by the Zanthran monarchy. Meetings were held to keep the two countries at ease while reconstruction was slowly being attended to. In the middle of the tension was a small nation called Baldor, not recognized as such by the other larger countries. Known for their exquisite and high quality designs of both weapons and armor; along with their incredible combat history; both the Zanthran monarchy and the Brustian republic wanted nothing more than to gain control of this small yet powerful nation. Eventually, the meetings did nothing as Brustria and Zanthra waged war for three long years.
Lacteus, Knight of the Fourth Pendulum, a secret society of knights, was one of the many defenders that watched over the borders in the event that hostile forces such would attempt to cross and lay siege to the Fortress of Gharrus. Near the end of the war, a neighboring nation several miles from Baldor was the Principality of Siami. The history between Baldor and Siami was not a pleasant one. The two small nations was once a much larger and calmer state known as Hohemheim than they currently were. After years of disagreements between the then rulers at the time Hohemheim separated and became the two nations they are now. But Siami has always wanted to take over Baldor and unite it under the banner of the Principality. The two have been enemies ever since as hostilities usually resulted in small to large bloody skirmishes. When Siami became aware of the two countries seeking Baldor’s annexation Siami made their move.
Siami struck a deal with Zanthra. They would help the Zanthran monarchy finally reap the benefits that would be had after Baldor’s fall while the Siami Pricipality gain the territory left behind after the Baldorian occupation. And so an alliance was forged, but not without the notice of the Baldorian kingdom. When Baldor took notice of the Siami’s bold assaults at their borders, they sent word to Brustria for assistance; in return they would forge weapons for them as a sign of their eternal debt to their saviors. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan. Brustia fell under Zanthran rule merely five days after the deal between Baldor. Without anyone to assist in their defense, Baldor was doomed to fall.
But the perseverance and courage of the small nation prevented them from surrendering against the Zanthran and Siami assault. The Baldorians held their ground for seven days and seven nights before they were finally crumbled. Zanthra then proceeded to exterminate every last remaining Baldorian until only several dozen remained. Zanthra only wanted the weapons, armor, and any secrets the small nation had before it turned into a war of extermination. Yet, it did not end there. After the complete and utter destruction of Baldor, Zanthra turned against the Siami Principality and went on to add the small nation to its collective.
Seven years has passed since the genocide of the Baldorians. Lacteus was one of the few that barely escaped with his life after the war as he and several of his comrades in arms traveled through many distances to finally reach sanctuary in Calista, where they have lived for the past seven years.

Name: Amdis Susanoo
Title: Emperor of Zanthra
Age: Estimated to be over 5,000
Homeland: Mesles
Height: 6’3”
Description: Adorned with light armor that is blessed by Tsar himself, Amdis is invulnerable to many powerful spells and ailments, as well as granting immortality and eternal youth. Various writings of old have been engraved into the armor. Fiery red is its primary while gold is its secondary. The five prongs on the top of Susanoo’s crown are each members of his family. The second to the left belongs to his eldest son, who he has a strained relationship with; the first to the left belongs to his father, who was a hero during Great War and began the Susanoo bloodline; the second prong to the right is to his youngest and favorite son, the one who follows in his father’s footsteps; the first prong is of his mother, who died giving birth to Amdis; the last and fifth prong in the middle belong to his wife, who is a powerful sorceress. Everyone member of the Susanoo family that is affiliated with the Zanthran military wear an accoutrement robe that begins fully closed at the torso and splits open after the waist. Amdis’ robe is the same primary and secondary colors. A ring that floats around Susanoo’s neck is a powerful charm given to him by his wife. Two small wings also float near his back which prevents any sneak attack in his blind spot. Susanoo’s eyes are red and his hair is light grey.
Bio: Born in the fiery flames of the Great War, Amdis came to existence as a warrior and a member of the second generation of Susanoo. His father, a hero of the battlefield trained his young son in the ways of the warrior and was surprised by the eagerness and determination of the young man. The two participated in many battle alongside one another and destroyed many from the land of Terramoir, making the Susanoo name recognizable. After the death of Sparda, then king of all of Nystoria, and the great ruin destroyed the land, the Susanoo family built a strong and well-trained battalion of warriors as a last resort to finally drive the invaders off of their land. However, before anything could be done the 18 demons lords rose in power and took the glory of vanquishing the invaders and creating a powerful spell to prevent the invaders from ever coming back to Nystoria.
For those that remained stranded and cut-off from their homeland the Chaos race went into hiding where they were slowly forgotten. As freedom and peace slowly slipped away from the people, Macarius Susanoo, father of Amdis Susanoo proposed a risky bargain with the 18 demon lords. If he could find the remnants of the Chaos race then the people would be given more food and freedom. Determined to bring about peace, Macarius set out towards the south where he never returned. Amdis grew up without his mentor and father and in turn began to develop hatred towards the one’s responsible for his death. In time peace came when Tsar visited the Nystoria and was considered a God amongst his friends and servants, he befriended Susanoo, the only one to treat him for who he really was. Before he departed, Tsar blessed Admis’ armor to protect his new friend for the future conflicts.
As the years went by and Susanoo’s strength became recognized even by the demon lords, Susanoo became a very powerful demon who only used his fists in combat. Over time he managed to witness an extraordinary battle as the surviving demon lords were struck down by the Light Emperor Lunar and ended the oppression of their rule. In awe at the overwhelming power of this new face, Susanoo pledged his allegiance to the Emperor and as a show of thanks was given the title of Emperor, a province of his own and a powerful navy. With these three key components Susanoo marched to the south and conquered what was once a demon lord land and named it Zanthra. He then met his wife, a powerful sorceress named Luna and gave birth to Amdis’ oldest son, Haraldur Susanoo.
While Susanoo maintained a peaceful coexistence with his neighbors, one in particular became a sudden eyesore to him, the small nation of Baldor. Without warning Susanoo waged war against the nation and utterly destroyed it. Many wonder why he attacked the Baldorians so needlessly but none but Brustria dared to stop him, which led to a humiliating and crushing defeat where Susanoo himself nearly destroyed the city of Nestra in retaliation for assisting the Baldorians and terribly weakened Emperor Falius II, son of Falius the First to the point where his reputation as a powerful swordsman (more so than his father) was considered an exaggeration. While Brustia sustained heavy damage Susanoo spared the country. As quickly as the war started it ended in genocide. Despite the many refugees that still wonder the countryside Susanoo never took action, something that puzzled many.

Name: Sonus
Title: The Many
Age: Estimated age based on each bat: 3,372
Homeland: Unknown
Height: 5’11”
Description: There is no definitive shape or form Sonus takes, for he is composed of over 3,372 bats. Usually Sonus appears to be nothing but a large mass of screeching bats that changes shapes based on emotions. When Sonus does decide to take a tangible form he takes the form of a young man with slick, combed hair with a butler-like appearance, through wearing a well fitting, highly formalized and entirely black suit, accented by a traditional white cravat encircling his neck. Despite the appearance he cannot completely hold this form in check as the many bats that compose this ‘body’ is always in a state of flux for persistently reconstructing and deconstructing in order to give life to the ‘body.’ This in turn gives the appearance of Sonus being composed of darkness that appears to fly off of him only to return.
Bio: A history never meant to be remembered. Composed of the thousands of vampires that were hunted and killed in the human world who made their way to Nystoria as a collective entity of bats, Sonus is no ordinary vampire and the question is aroused as to whether or not he even is one. There is no distinguishing trait that gives evidence of Sonus being a single being but a being of over 3,000 souls bound together through a powerful force. Perhaps it is the built up malice for their deaths or it is the work of a powerful magic. While Sonus recalls not of what happened to him he is well aware that he is not one being but a legion of vampires. For thousands of years he has watched his ‘other’ vampiric brethren serve the shadow Emperor Kratos during the Shadow-Light war that nearly destroyed the coven. Only Vandal, a former assassin made it out alive.
From his observations he sees the flaws of their existence and has gone out of his way of hunting those who stride from the old traditions.
