OBERATH VANSYCKLE

Location: Order Kingdom of Nerreivan

Status:  Active

Description: A human noblman. Oberath is an ugly, morbidly obese and bald blue-blood, with deep pockets, and incredible influence and connections among Nerreivan's nobility.

Goals: After the capture of the outlaw Mraxis, the Emperor saw Nerreivan as a safe base from which to accumulate the Scarlet Hawks' funds. He is ordered to corrupt, coerce, or persuade the nobility and clergy of Nerreivan into turning a blind eye to the Hawks' operations in the Kingdom. Effectively, he will take over the large markets, economies, and production facilites, monopolizing them in order to accumulate vast funds, to fuel his dark master's plans.

SVEN HROLFSSON OF LESCATIE

Location:  Demon Realm of Arum Sedis

Status: Active

Description: A muscular, blonde human, armored in crude leathers. His left leg is severed, replaced by a crude metal prosthetic, and he fights with savagery, and a doule-bladed axe.

Goals:  In Arum Sedis, the Lilim Ilassa has fervently worked for many years to blend human and monster cultures, to great success. Sven is sent by the Emperor to fan the flame of an ember long thought to be dead in the land:  Racial Hatred. Pogroms, propoganda, violence, terrorrism...The Scarlet Hawks' fiercest warrior will bring the people of Arum Sedis at each others' own necks, and use their corpses to fuel the guild's dark experiments...Or die trying!

ZEKKEL, HIGH BLOOD-MAGE

Location: Demon Realm of Varmore

Status: Active

Description:  A very dark-skinned man, likely from somewhere southernly. His head is bald and covered in arcane tatoos, and he wears nothing save for a tribal kilt reaching to his feet.

Goals:  Varmore is a Magiocracy. The perfect place for the Scarlet Hawks to continue their twisted experiments on mutation and biological weapons! Armed with the research notes and documentations of the dead Professor Velkrad, Zekkel hopes to turn the high-ranking magic users to his cause, and develop an army of unrivaled might for his lord. The realm's ruler, the Lilim Mari, shouldn't be an issue. Rarely is she at home, and by the time she gets wind, the Blood-Mage may have enough followers to overwhelm even the Demon Lord's daughter!

GERYNIA, THE BLOOD-EAGLE

Location: Zipangu

Status: Active.

Description:  A dragon, and a powerful warrior at that. Everything about her is red; crimson hair, crimson scales, and blood-red metal plated armor.

Goals:  Instructed to sail to Zipangu, she hopes to oust the ruling Ryo and Shirohebi. using force and fear, she will take over, or create, the region's Dragon-Cults, and use them to keep the island's people in line. Ultimately, she is promised untold power, and "you shall be made the mightiest dragon to have ever graced this world's skies", should she rape Zipangu's untapped natural resources to fuel the Scarlet War-Machine...

HORGRIM ANGERFIST

Location: Dwarf Refuge of Vardreng

Status: Active

Description: A male dwarf, with a long black beard braided with bones. He is clad in ellaborate black leather, and tattoos cover every inch of his shaved scalp. Two axes of cruel-design are strapped to his back.

Goals: In Vardreng, the dwarves have survived unchanged by DE for millenia. But the silence of this isolated hall is finally broken, with Horgrim's clan allying with the Scarlet Hawks. Horgrim plans to undermine the authority of King Ardoromere Hammertoe the Fifteenth himself. The ensuing civil war, as the king has no successors, shall ensure two things:  Firstly, they Scarlet Hawks shall have plenty of experiments for their sick and twisted experiments. And secondly, the Angerfist Clan is promised uncontested rule over Vardreng, and the survivors of the other clans, should they succeed!

Status: Unknown

Description: Presumably an old man. Hunched, and clad in a bright red robe. His face is hidden beneath the hood, save for two glowing, blood-red eyes. He carries a gnarled wooden staff, topped by a golden eagle.
