Kael Draven — Once an SSS-rank Soul Resonant, betrayed by Master Aric and stripped of his rank. Currently rebuilding his power, haunted by the shadows of his past.
Master Aric — Former mentor to Kael. Brilliant tactician, master manipulator. His betrayal triggered the events that fractured the Council's trust and set Kael's vengeance in motion.
Mira Solenne — A gifted healer with mastery over poisoncraft. Calm and calculating, her loyalty to Kael hides personal motives.
Ryn Vale — Former Silent Serpents assassin, now an uneasy ally. Holds deep knowledge of the Council's underworld dealings.
Loran Vey — Scout and sharpshooter. Distrustful of everyone, but bound to Kael by an old debt.
The Council of Nine — The ruling body of Valenport, outwardly devoted to order but rotten with corruption. Each seat is held by a master of a different discipline.
Silent Serpents — A network of killers, spies, and smugglers. Officially disbanded, but their influence still seeps through the alleys of Valenport.
