This isn't so much a "character", though they are an important part of the series; as well as two primary characters being Harbingers of Chaos. These constructs have no living flesh; their previous mortal form has been shattered and disintigrated, their soul and essence however is taken and placed into a Black Gold shell, as well as being charged with an immense amount of Fel energy. This Fel energy powers the suit in order for it to be used for it's full potential. The Harbingers of Chaos cannot be physically killed, they are the Council's immortal soldiers, so to speak. Their armor may be destroyed, but if their essence is untouched, then they may serve the Council once again in a new metal body. However, the Fel that is merged with their soul can be cancelled out by Aether or Mortis, thus destroying their soul.

Most Harbingers of Chaos are identical, the more unique they are, the higher ranking they are; they are also crafted from a magic tempered material named "Black Gold", a dark substance that has been corrupted by Mortis, but not enough that it can't be touched by mortals. The Black Gold is heated to an extraordinary temperature with Fel and Mortis, until it is at a liquid state; then it is poured into a mould, and for only a few minutes it can be shaped before it hardens; and the more times it is reheated and hardened, the harder it is to revert it back to it's liquid state.

Now onto the prime subjects; Stagner and Bayne, possibly the two most formidable fighters within the Council. Bayne being the more serious of the two, taking even the smallest of situations with a straightforward attitude, and though he is extremely tactical and whatnot, he isn't the best fighter of the two; Markus Bayne wields a towering spiked shield alongside a hooked blade primarily used for hooking into the enemy's flesh or armor before slamming them into his shield; speaking of his shield, it's purpose wasn't entirely for defence, the spikes covering the dark shield would penetrate the flesh of whatever it happened to be rammed into. Now onto Jesse Stagner. Jesse likes to, shall we say, "play with his food". He wields the same shield as Bayne, but in the other hand equips an extremely long trident, or any other spear or polearm; whatever he can get his hands on. However, at times, Stagner likes to abandon his shield and apply all his strength into his spear. Oddly enough he is highly and amazingly efficient with spear-like weaponry. Stagner has a general personality almost mimicking Lithoth, psychopathic, "pisses about", and yet despite his nature he proves to be one of the greatest fighters.

Aydin Nerov in fact has a small armada of these Harbingers of Chaos; having Stagner and Bayne as their Commanders, seeing as they were the first Harbingers of Chaos to come to existance. Almost 800 of these Harbingers have been crafted over the last 10 years, and they are indeed powerful.
