Vernon Roche
Before his forces were driven from his homelands, and he was forced to camp in a gorge in the woods close to Oxenfurt, Vernon Roche was the commander of the Temerian Special Forces, and one of King Foltest’s most trusted subordinates. Few matched Roche’s expertise in acts ranging from the modest (slaying a band of Scoia’tael) to the impressive (putting down rebelions). But now, he has lost everything; his king, his lands, and most of his men. Now he stages ambushes against the overwhelming forces that occupy the land.
Ves
Once a veteran officer of the Blue Stripes, and one of a handful of soldiers to survive the war with her commander. While Roche is stoic, Ves is much more headstrong, and but driven to reckless despair by the current situation of the war. It is fortunate, then, that her skills with the sword and the crossbow are nothing short of magical. Her sharpshooting and knife skills are utilized whenever she sees fit, a troubling tendency that Roche hopes to rein in.
