Dramatis Personae

Character: Brien
Player: Ray Hansberger
Role: The Healer
Not much is known about this young priest, because I don't have my files with me.

Character: Sgt. Corvyn Russwen
Player: Jim Bennett
Role: The Cleric Archer
A young NCO being considered for the Featherblades, Her Majesty's elite archers, until he resigned from the army with special permission by the queen and joined the clergy. After graduating from seminary he joined Hyrule's second special forces team in 1538.

Character: Lieutenant Commander Streltsov
Player: Tim Strudell
Role: The Diplomat
Lieutenant Commander Streltsov was recommended for Hyrule's second Special Forces Team by his uncle, Major Um'Rov. Although young by elven standards, Streltsov has a distinguished career. Forced to retreat from Port No'Rlsk for lack of men and supplies, Streltsov led the survivors of Arkayus' attack to the mountains southwest of the city. He had care of 300 troops, including nearly 200 wounded, and over 1000 civilians, including 400 children, during one of the harshest winters in Hyrule's history. Emerging to the call of then Commander Elmshade with 75 troops fit for duty and 850 civilians, he was hailed as a hero by the people he took care of. Although ordered back to No'Rlsk during the Battle of Kelpar Valley, he fought valiantly at the Battle of the Bloodfront a year later and the Battle of the Blooming Rose a year after that. He was awarded the Tears of Correlon (the elven Medal of Honor) for his services beyond the call of duty during the winter of 1512, and the Chrystovian Cross for his services at the other two battles. He was forced to resign his commission as an Army Lieutenant for his aid to a known assassin in 1539, he rejoined the queen's service almost immediately. Now serving the queen as a Lt. Commander in the Royal Navy, he reports directly to General Elmshade, and is formally in command of the second special forces team.

Character: Thadian "Thade" Mercer
Player: Regan Avery
Role: The Tank
Thadian Mercer, a Dragon Army defector, serves on Hyrule's newly formed Special Forces Team. A swordswoman of no small skill, her slender frame hides her strength and agility well. Not much is known about her beyond her being educated at the Dragon Army Academy in Dragonwing. After performing a battery of tests, Sir Exarius Bloodthorn has theorized that her exceptional strength, agility, and metabolism may come from any of several Dragon Army Super Soldier Genetic Experiments. She came to Hyrule in 1538 and was granted citizenship in early 1539.

Character: Zarn
Player: Chris Elmore
Role: The Interrogator
Zarn came to Hyrule in 1535, a defector of Arkayus' forces. He claims to have worked for one of Arkayus' Iron Fists, a man named Haast, and indeed was helpful to the elven military in fighting Arkayus' forces at the Grey Ridge. It is rumored he is associated with the Va'al Berzoni Assassins, but this is not confirmed. By special arrangement with General Elmshade in 1538 he was offered a position, which he accepted, on the then-forming second Special Forces Team. His citizenship status is tentative pending evaluation of his services to Her Majesty, but there is a black mark on his record. He impersonated Exarius Bloodthorn in an attempt to procure chemicals for poisonmaking, and spent a month in prison for it. Now released, he is closely watched by the elven government, though he remains a valuable member of the Special Forces Team.

Retired Characters

Character: Xiu Shin Lo
Player: Chip Tencza
Role: The Charmer
Xiu Shin Lo came to Hyrule as a baby in 1520. He grew up in Lady Bloodthorn's monastery in the capital. It is not known who his biological parents are, but it is conjectured that they were psionicists as he has shown psychic talent and, according to Lady Lonstyr, shows even more psionic potential. If he is in Hyrule, he can generally be found in the monastery or at the Lonstyr Estate. Lady Lonstyr is the primary trainer in his psychic abilities, and Master Bloodthorn is his spiritual adviser and fight master. He serves on Hyrule's newly formed Special Forces Team.
