Back to Arcohaem Landing

The Wolves of Arcohaem

Lukas Havran

Species: Human

Class: Conduit

Background: ?


Personality:
An arrogant and manipulative dude. He's extremely loyal due to his history in the Republic military. Wants recognition from his family due to being an often overlooked child. He's composed and observant.


Backstory:
Raised as a Normon in a large family. He left to prove himself, joined the military, and witnessed his entire battalion being massacred by the Wraith. The creature looked like a solid black humanoid shadow with red eyes, horns, and claws. Lukas failed to defend himself, or anyone else there, but that moment allowed him to flood and develop control over his ether. The creature used a Frigoshian dagger, cementing his hatred for them. He later joined the Wolves of Arcohaem, and developed a close friendship with everyone there, but especially with Iona, who reminds him of his brother Akarian Havran.


Theme:

Iona Kunetzova

Species: Human

Class: Conduit

Background: Criminal


Personality:
Iona is a naturally shy person. He doesn't mention things that are bothering him, he stays observant, and though he takes thorough notes, he rarely checks them. He wants to fight in the war to ensure that everyone else will have a choice in what they do -- unlike him. He doesn't know if that's enough to build a life around at this point.


Backstory:
Iona didn't choose most things in his life. He was raised as a petty thief until the war started. At 15, he was placed under watch and told he'd be enlisted into the military when he turned 18. He was under the care of Kezlov, who became like a parent to him. Kezlov named him, valued him, and got him into letter writing. When he was finally placed in the military, he didn't enjoy it, but he went anyways. He turned out to be shockingly good at it due to his water-based ether abilities. After a year, he was placed into the Wolves of Arcohaem, and quickly befriended Lukas Havran.


Theme:

Old Man Olaf

Species: Halfling

Class: Rogue

Background: Criminal


Personality:
Old Man Olaf is a compulsive thief, con artist, and spy. He steals from the rich whenever he can, and then (unlike robin hood) he gives it to nobody. He is a generally friendly person, and is a master of deception. He can manufacture pity from just about anyone due to his old age and stature. His appearance makes him uniquely disarming, because no one suspects an elderly 2'4" man to be a master assassin.


Backstory:
Born in a southern Kessek temple and raised as a monk. He quickly abandoned their teachings when he discovered some corruption. He was kicked out for stealing and for lying to people. So, with pretty much nothing else in his life, he joined the Republic to steal and lie professionally. A few years later, he was assigned to the Wolves of Arcohaem.


Theme:

Ostos "Ron" Bjornson

Species: Storm Goliath

Class: Cleric

Background: Noble


Personality:
Quite possibly the most terrifying presence in all of Arcohaem. He is incredibly racist to Elves, he eats whatever he can find, and has a unceasing hunger. He's loyal to the Republic and to the Wolves, and he doesn't like hurting people, but he knows that sometimes the ends justify the means. Despite his appearance, he's a very kind and helpful person.


Backstory:
Came from nobility in Hathor; his father Erik Bjornson is a senator. His younger brother Lief was involved in a lumber accident and nearly severed his arm. In a panic, Ron flooded and healed his wounds. He found purpose as a cleric, and went on to join the military to help those wounded in battle.


Theme:

Tinkle Winkler I

Species: Human

Class: Paladin

Background: Soldier


Personality:
Tinkle Winkler, as you may have inferred from his name, is not an intelligent man. He believes he's a rich noble, causing him to act incredibly arrogant and to give away his money. He's generous, loyal, and has a big heart, but his brain isn't in the best condition as of late.


Backstory:
Tinkle Winkler wasn't born with that name. He joined the army about 7 years ago (we think). Unfortunately, he was hit in the head by an anchor, leaving a large dent in his skull. He developed an odd array of disorders that aren't diagnosed or understood. He misread the name of a tavern and began calling himself Tinkle Winkler. He then joined the Wolves of Arcohaem.


Theme:

Rorik Valgok

Species: Dwarf

Class: Scholar

Background: Sage



Personality:
A stubborn and hot-headed but loyal friend. He's kind at heart, and likes cheese, aged ale, loyalty, and respect. He dislikes forest ents, elven men (knife ears), wine, and Frigoshians. His greatest weakness is far and away his love of cheese, and food and drink in general, but especially cheese. He's also a little racist towards elves and forest ents, which can complicate things. His primary goal in life is to avenge the death of his wife Elanor (and also to make lots of money).



Backstory:
He came from the mountains of Sindri and despite being a dwarven funneler, he was generally quite respected. He and his wife Elanor lived a pretty standard middle-class life overseeing some small mining operations in Sindri. One night, when nothing was particularly out of the ordinary, explosions rocked the mountains below his residence. Him and Ealanor went to investigate, but got separated. By the time he found her, she was dead. He never saw who did it, but she had been killed with a burning spear. From that day on, he vowed to avenge the death of his wife no matter the costs. He's been in the military for a few years, and has several battle scars. Once, a Frigoshian slashed his face with a spear, giving him a large scar across his now blinded and white left eye.
About a year prior to session 5, Rorik was a member of the Wolves of Arcohaem. Then, he was a hit by a shell and fell into a 45ft trench. Due to an ambush, the Wolves had to leave without verifying his death. But, I mean, come on he's for sure dead no one can survive that.
Hopefully...
