The Duke, His People and the Mercenaries of Salver
Name: Marc Castellen
Noble Name: Duke Marc Castellen
Status: Duke of Salver, Noble in Kingdom of Reval

Duke Castellen is a man with a very large superiority complex and a massive ego. In his mind he does not think he is better than others, he knows it and he feels, in his overestimation of his abilities, that he is best suited to rule the Kingdom of Reval. At the same time he is a quick tempered man and a cowardly one as well. Duke Castellen almost never has to dirty his own hands with his foul deeds as he is most comfortable throwing around his status and fortune to get what he wants, whether that be women, art or someone's life. Because of how often he succeeds the duke thinks that all will bow or break before him with just a little promise of what he has and those that defy this expectation often become the victim of his violence and perverse nature.
Growing up Duke Castellen watched his father rule Salver as its duke with an iron grip. The elder Duke Castellen felt that the to be King Richard IV would be a lesser king of greater sires and so established a faction against him. Despite that he never threatened civil war preferring forcing the king to abdicate through the threat of sure defeat. To achieve this the elder duke made Salver a military and economic power within Reval. Seeing this caused the young Marc to become similar as his father continually educated him on the responsibilities as a Duke. But Marc differed from his father as seeing other bow to him and show him deference made the soon to be duke view himself as a supreme human being, one that stood above others. His father tried to correct the behavior but found himself a victim of his seventeen year old son's ego and cowardice when poison found its way into the Duke's food from the hands of a slave that was soon made to disappear.
The duke cannot be described as handsome. At best he is an average looking man. His blonde hair is kept combed back and the well-groomed goatee on his face appears quite small because of the weight carried in his face. His complexion is hard to tell as he always uses cosmetics to appear at his best. And the Duke always puts on a false voice portraying a man of confidence and power but that is just to hide the cowardly and deceitful sound of his real voice. As a noble he is very always well dressed.
Name: Sebastian of Baston
Status: Steward of Duke Castellen and Personal Assistant to the Duke

Sebastian is an intelligent man who is very loyal to Duke Castellen. While not as depraved as the duke, Sebastian very much enjoys the corrupt nature of the duke and those around him as he rose to his position from the peasantry through his brilliant mind. He oversees not only the daily operations of Duke Castellen's staff and estate in the city of Salver but the Duke's domain as a whole making sure that it remains profitable to the Duke. He is one of the secrets to the duke's continued success.
Spindly is the best way to describe Sebastian as he is quite thin despite his height and possess very long fingers and arms. Sebastian is showing signs of his age with his long hair beginning to recede and turn grey. Despite this he keeps his long hair tied low in the back. He is always well dressed and carries himself the best he can despite the slight hunch forming in his back causing him to stand a little shorter than he would have just a few years prior. When speaking Sebastian's voice befits a man of his station, despite having been born a peasant. Upon looking at Sebastian one would assume he needs corrective glasses but his vision is quite strong. His very presence is quite terrifying unlike all the others in Duke Castellen's service.
Name: Darroll Moravitz
Status: Personal Healer to the Duke of Salver
Born: Year 625 Calander of the Heavens
Age: 36
Height: 173cm/5ft8in
Weight: 82kg/180lbs
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Race: Human
Darroll as a man is quite depraved and cowardly, very much sadistic and enjoys watching the violence that occurs on behalf of Duke Castellen. He is quite skilled in healing magics and as such trained to be a healer. He most often finds himself using it on the girls brought to Duke Castellen, though he is not skilled enough with the magic to heal every injury. Being from a large trade city his heritage is as mixed between the various human races as the city is.
Normally Darroll would be considered quite charming in appearance and voice but his corruption shows through to most. His dirty blonde hair is always kept combed back while his skin is tanned and his face a little scruffy with the very light beard he keeps. He dresses well which contributes well to his overall appearance.

Head Priest Petor is an extremely corrupt priest, engaging in most of what Duke Castellen proffers towards him. His extreme corruption is so obvious that all outside of the Duke's influence and the Priesthood of Syver disassociate with him. But his ties to the duke have made him a very powerful figure in Salver. He is the greatest healer in the city but many wold rather stay limp or missing a limb just to avoid him.
Petor keeps his head and face perfectly shaven with the exception of his eyebrows, those stay well groomed. His skin is well taken care of and he dresses like a priest of his position should but with some extra embellishment given his ego. In his prime Petor was rather tall and fit but now what was once muscle has been raplaced with fat and he walks around below average height as his back is incredibly hunched forcing him to walk with a cane.

Race: ??? Human ???
Livia is an extremely self centered woman who values continued upwards movement in society. She tied herself to the Duke after being recruited by Sebastian but she was able to manipulate the duke and use her great charisma and charm to force herself into a very powerful position in his circle. She only remains attached to him because he is easy to handle for someone like her and other nobles are more challenging. But if she were ever able to find someone with more promise that would take her, she would cut Duke Castellen's throat to move on.
No one knows her real name. Unknown to everyone she adopted the name Livia decades ago as she learned it from an old book and to her it sounded more regal and powerful. No one also knows where she is originally from as her normal extremely seductive speaking voice is an act. Her real voice only seeps out occasionally when she can no longer control herself, surprising most as they have never heard that accent before.
She is an extremely beautiful woman even as she moves past middle-aged. Her hair is extremely long reach past her hips and very well cared for, though it is clearly dyed given her age. Her black eyes appear almost dark violet in color and are quite mesmerizing. And she dresses very, very well and wears a perfume that works perfectly with her natural scent. The heavy cosmetics on her face do not hide her age, not that she wants them to, but they bring out her natural beauty even more causing her to be the center of many men's attention during visits to Duke Castellen's estate.

Age: 21

Weight: 45kg/100lbs

While well liked by those with power in the duke's company, Bethany is not well liked by those of similar or lower station. She appears to greatly enjoy her life in the duke's service to most she interacts with.
Bethany is quite beautiful, though her face is always heavily covered in cosmetics. Her brown hair is most often curled and with some decorations placed in it. Her body is perfectly proportioned to her size.
Name: Krystyna Firen

Born: Year 633 Calander of the Heavens
Age: 28
Height: 173cm/5ft8in

Eye Color: Violet
Hair Color: Blonde
Race: Human
Originally from a coastal city on the far west coast of Rylocke, Krystyna is not a native to the Kingdom of Reval, only finding her way there through the slave trade. She has dreams of making it out on her own but understands her situation well and will not risk certain death for a quick taste of freedom. This has caused her to be sadistic in her own way as she enjoys watching others suffer and helping push themselves into the suffering without ever bringing them to harm herself.
Surprisingly she can be quite protective towards Elizabeth, whom she views as a little sister of sorts. And despite being no better than an enslaved prostitute, Krystyna should not be underestimated as she is quite intelligent and quick witted.
Appearance wise Krystyna is exceptionally beautiful with very few of the duke's other slaves even coming close to her natural looks. Her blonde hair is long reaching her hips and has a slight natural curl to it. And it was her natural voluptuous figure that caught the duke's attention in the first place.

A gentle soul, ELizabeth is too pure of a being for her position in life. Despite her situation she maintains her pure and gentle self preferring to not let it drag her down into the depths of cynicism and depression. She hold hope for being freed but even if she never tastes freedom, Elizabeth makes the most of the life she does not enjoy. While she is a kind and gentle soul Elizabeth can have a fiery temper at times when she feels something is exceedingly unfair or downright cruel. And she does look after those she considers friends and family, even if she barely knows them.
Orignally Elizabeth is from the Dukedom Dominim, a neighboring nation of the Kingdom of Reval, no one is quite sure where in Dominim as she was acquired through the use of mercenaries taking her when she was little. From there she spent some time around the nobility of Dominim as a slave to an older noble lady before being gifted to Duke Castellen for the feasts he throws by the noble lady's son.
Elizabeth, despite being an adult, has quite the petite, girlish body. Her brown hair reaches most of the way down her back and is naturally straight but she enjoys dressing it up with curls or into different cute styles. And her brown eyes are quite adorable to look into. While not beautiful in ways like Krystyna is, Elizabeth is exceptionally adorable.

Age: 45
Height: 178cm/5ft10
Weight: 100kg/220lbs
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Black
Race: Human
An experienced and hardened mercenary, Gregory is committed to his craft and the highest bidder. He holds no loyalty to any lord or god, only to his whims, fighting, those that follow him and the money that lines their pockets. This was not always the case. When younger he was a knight in service to a lord but was betrayed and left for dead because a more prominent knight was jealous of his success and reputation. Becoming a mercenary Gregory left behind his noble family name and adopted the village of Mooreden as his home. Slowly traveling from battlefield to battlefield he made an even greater name for himself and attracted a loyal band of followers that became The Mooreden Avengers.
The middle-aged mercenary is rather handsome and carries himself well. His dark hair is beginning to show signs of grey and the inspiration for so many of the men in Duke Castellen's service combing theirs back. His blue eyes seem to shine like gems set into his grey skin but they carry the weight of war and greed. Gregory is almost never seen outside of his armor as it is a second skin to him.

Age: 40

Hair Color: Greying Black
Race: Revalite
A member of The Mooreden Avengers, Tomas works as a guard for Duke Castellen at his estate. Unlike most of the mercenaries he feels no since of loyalty to Gregory and is only with them for the money and safety of the position. A kind and gentle soul that seemingly carries the weight of everyone's sins on his shoulders but will repay violence in kind. Tomas is very trusting and most of the girls he interacts with routinely try to prevent him from being taken advantage of, as he is one of the few that goes out of his way to protect them and behaves gentlemanly towards them.
Tomas has aged surprisingly well. He maintains a youthful seemingly above average appearance that is mired in the weigh of his past and the stress that comes from working for Duke Castellen when you are not corrupted yourself. His blue eyes are especially affected by it all. He was a large scar that goes horizontally across the left side of his face stopping on his nose.
Name: Charles Bullon

The Mercenary who captured Morrigan, Charles has since fled Slaver with his company fearing Lucien's wrath. Charles is odd in that he believes in the old legends of Lucien but that is because of a family legend and possession of armor damaged by Lucien himself. The armor belonged to an ancestor who fought Lucien centuries prior and the breastplate was caved in crushing the chest of the wearer. Since then the family has feared the creatures of the east and Lucien himself specifically and pass that fear down generation to generation.
As a mercenary Charles is quite cautious, skilled and intelligent, leading his company to quite a bit of success and wealth through work for various nobles in Reval. Having worked mainly from Salver he and his partner in mercenary work George have not built much fame but a solid and dependable reputation. And this reputation has been hard earned through conflict and slaving.
His icy blue eyes stand well with his dark hair. Charles is often clean shaven, preferring it over any type of facial hair. Given his reputation on might have assume him average or even ugly but he is quite handsome in both appearance and voice. He carries himself well and wears well maintained dark colored armor.
Name: George Hawke
Status: Mercenary and Slaver

Age: 32
Height: 175cm/5ft9in
Weight: 91kg/200lbs
Eye Color: Black
Hair Color: Black
Race: Revalite
George is a captain in the mercenary company that captured Morrigan and has since fled unwillingly Salver under Charles's fear. An arrogant man, George cannot believe that Charles wants them to flee from Salver over some legend. He enjoys taunting those he fights and captured.
Much like Charles, George is a skilled mercenary but not at all cautious. He is not daft though and is quite capable of planning successful battles that don't rely on just killing your way through a battle.
A ruggedly handsome man, George's dark eyes match the darkness that resides in him and around him. His dark hair is so dark that it appears almost grey in direct sunlight and his face is perfectly shaven. Despite eating all the time George maintains quite a fit and muscular body.
