Profiles - The Shadow Blades
Acelin Elion:
Of Adunaim heritage, young but wise in Ancient Lore and in the ways of Nature, noble birth, probably an orphan, has undisclosed means of fortune, not corruptible by money or fear. Has high moral standards, utterly good and positive, very difficult to turn him away from his mark, strong will. Emotionally immature, prone to fits of rage if provoked (past, love), romantic youthful spirit. Secretive about his origins and past.
Qualities of use: Resourceful, Subtle, Wise, Rich, Trustworthy, Honourable.
Weaknesses: Honourable, tendency to see the good of every person, romantic soul. His past: there is something crooked and painful which he hides. Love interest: Evallin.
Evallin Twynam:
Of Rohiric heritage, young, educated beyond average level, probably of noble birth, beautiful and fair with easiness of speech and relationship. A shadow looms over her past, a traumatic experience or upraising most probably. Romantic ideals and straight morals, innocent and naive. Trustful and trustworthy. Matured through pain and sorrow, yet her true nature still evades her. Inner sadness in a shell of bliss.
Qualities of use: Powerful connections, material resources, loyal and trustworthy, knowledge.
Weaknesses: Trustful and naive, incapable of physically defending herself, possible to manipulate or influence her by emotional means. Her past: some secret sorrow weakens her will. Love interest: Acelin.
Note: mantains a suspicious relationship with Drunn, need to dig deeper in the matter to determine the true nature of such relation.
Huldore Hargrave:
Baseborn, Breelander, uncultured. Able and resourceful. Resilient. A cunning creature hard to squish. A man who will always surpass your expectatives, mostly due to the fact very little is expected of him. Do not spend more of your time on him. A loyal friend, sadly we are not.
Qualities of use: Loyal, Sturdy, Resourceful, Unwavering, almost Undefeatable due to his dumbness and refusal to accept defeat.
Weaknesses: Blunt as a hammer, what weaknesses could have a tool?, drinks too much but seems to handle its effects superbly. Love interest: some blonde woman called Faithewel.
The old bugger is marrying the girl, what has he done to deserve such a joy?, the One favors the simple folk indeed.
Ceou Leodent:
Most possibly natural of Bree-LandRohan. Experienced leader and captain of Brigands and bandits. Attractive, resourceful, reckless, brave, unexpectedly honourable, impulsive and lacking in judgement, cunning but unwise. Often gets carried into troublesome situations she does not foresee. A brave soul hungry for sincere affection and approval. Emotionally jaded, due to recurring deceptions is extremely hard to win her confidence. Reportedly not very scrupulous to share her bed, denoting a lack of emotional stability. A valiant and comely, mature woman, skilled in combat, her low birth and lack of assets decreases her value as possible consort. Recently joined the SB, whether by a genuine intention to mend her ways, or in a clever move to clean her slate, either way opens interesting new possibilities to exploit. Foolishly reckless, almost died to finish Nalokha, though seems her gamble worked this time.
Recovered from her past ordeal. Seems fairly settled to her new lifestyle.
Developing emotional attachements with Cpt. Caravaggio.
Qualities of use: Superbly brave, cunning, not restricted by morals, reliable, natural leader.
Weaknesses: Emotionally feeble, prone to fall or be manipulated by an emotional partner.
Note: currently under sway of Acelin's influence, has to be separated from him before turning her in an useful asset.
Note: Crips is exceedingly attached to her of late, a reinforcement is due to be applied. Or maybe to give him leave. Must consider the options with care.
Note: set Crips to tail her again.CANCEL
Abellinda Daur-Bel:
Of Rohiric heritage, baseborn, young, fit and healthy, skilled at arms, relentless and dangerous to her enemies. Not very wise in lore but an exceedingly cunning woman. Hardship and war had made her though as leather and steel. Has ample material and human resources at her disposition, a powerful ally. Loyal with her friends yet hard to influence or turn her against her will. An attractive woman in her own, but for her birth station would be a fit consort. Married to an unremarkable man, how came that to happen?. A valuable yet dangerous to exploit asset.
Qualities of use: Strong will and determination, vast material and human resources, cunning.
Weaknesses: her family and personal attachments, baby-son: Kallian, husband: Etheirgrum. Her poor choice of husband indicates some lack of judgement in emotional mattersmaybe not so.
Etheirgrum (last name is unpronounceable)
Born in some irrelevant village far to the north, savage, uncultured, unremarkable, with a heavy drinking affection. Some fighting skill is expected from such a man but it is not yet confirmed. What makes him worthy of Abellinda's affection is a mystery, could be a debt of gratitude or maybe an unexpected pregnancy. - USELESS INFORMATION -
Qualities of use: he is valued by Abellinda
Weaknesses: Drunkard, an apparent lack of will, ignorant.
Note: hides a very clever nature under a mask of stupidity, need to double check all the information related to him. Rewrite profile.
Vahleri (last name unknown)
Of unknown origin, orphan, very young, gifted with the Voice and the Sight, a tormented soul victim of the ignorance of this people, branded mad or witch and shunned. Her potential to weave song and spell is remarkable yet unexploited, in urgent need of training. Has to learn to focus her Sight better. A valuable and willing asset to be nurtured and protected. Fiery temper according to her age. Her capacity to get involved in trouble is annoyingly amazing, there is no end to the headaches she is giving me.
Note: Emotionally unstable. Remember to soften your manners and be warm.
Priority note: to kill the blade owner as soon as his identity is discovered.
Damondir Aloren
Claims to be from southern Gondor, maybe Haradrimfalse, yet to proveadunaim?, grizzled veteran skilled in fighting. Claims to be in his forties yet appears to be much younger. New to the SB. Note: Important to gather more information about him.
Father most probably of Arnorian adunaim heritage, unkown whereabouts. Mother taken captive and dead(possibly) by Harad/Umbar party. Sister escaped from captivity, killed in the wilds by beasts (possibly). Spent his youth in the southern Gondorian frontier. Returned north to Emyn Uial, where his father's kin dwells. Unconfortable in dealing with crowds and strangers. Refuses to eat and drink when in company. Lack of socialization skills points to a very lonely or wildling upraising.
Note: if this man is indeed of adunaim blood, and there are more of his kin around... is it possible the line of isildur still endures in the shadows?. the words from Acelin also hints to.
Note: must explore Emyn Uial as soon as possible.
Note: shows a more cautious and reserved disposition of late, might be in league with Acelin.
Note: a recent letter indicates certain interest for the cook Miyra
Dunleding probably. Hideous one eyed hag, violent, wicked, reportedly cannibalgossip. An uncontrollable savage. Fearful and resilient in battle, would be an useful asset but for her unreliableness. Hates Thayalengir, and would willingly take down the turncloak. The right weapon to unleash on him when the time comes. Distrustful, her suspicious nature makes very hard to reach to her. Very close to Ceou, to the point of following her into the SB. Confrontational nature suggest a past victim of constant abuse as well as her face and multiple scars. A vey emotional and unstable side to her personality has been noted through the recent revelations of her affair with Caravaggio.
Of Haradric heritage, runaway slave young woman, bears an unrelenting hate and dislike to males and all things manly, burns with a secret desire of revenge. Her presence in the Bree-lands indicate a resourseful enough nature, able to get this far by her own means and alive. A prime asset, very adept at collecting information, yet winning her trust could prove challenging. Has knowledge of herb-lore and medicine and the hands of a healer. We are indebted to her.
Qualities of use: resourceful, woman's charms, driven
Weaknesses: hate of men could turn her unreliable, exceedingly conspicuous.
Note: might prove more receptive to Atzin influence.
Note: find the way to turn this debt of gratitude into something protitable.
Allegedly an orphan and Bree raised, all information regarding this man should be double checked due to his confesed involvement with the rangers, if as we suspect this man results in being of Adunaim heritage, that will be another proof of the enduring of the Arnorian branch. A self declared huntsman and woodsman who posseses some combat training and quick reflexes. Appears to be in his thirties.
Note: Set Crips to check his background story.
Note: Is it possible that Acelin is filling the ranks of the SB with his kinsmen? the implications could be disastrous.
A young red-haired girl, must be of the same age as Mina was when I took her in far Andrast, and is as lovely and innocent as she was at the time and her hair also smells of strawberries and spring. Even more, the girl is a gifted cook. Blessings be upon her and may the One cast upon the lass a sweeter fate than my Mina had. It is such an annoyance to watch her be courted by this other ranger, is there no end to their meddling?.
Bree-lander, surely baseborn, orphaned, inconspicuous young woman, recruited by Evallin. Has a younger sibling, down to business and focused attitude, complying disposition, adept to stealth. A potentialy valuable asset.
New recruit, young girl unskilled in combat, not enough information of her available at the moment to assess her capabilities and asset potential.
Wiltin (last name unkown)
Breelander, baseborn, young, new recruit.
