Ferrian

Ferrian gave out a small grunt. "That's what the dwarf said." He grumbled, but it was less towards them and more towards himself and the air around him. The white haired male then snapped his fingers and replied, "Contrary to its name, it's usually rather peaceful." Maybe he should give people a small history lesson about Dragonrage Pass since everyone seems to be gearing towards the fact that it's always a choatic place. But perhaps they were going for a joke? A jest to lighten up the mood? Perhaps that really was what they were going for. Hm. Interesting. Oh well.

The Manakete was rather disturbed when Anna didn't react any other way than that, but he simply shrugged. Fine. Perhaps he'd find out what the reason was later in the adventure, so he let it slide. He then looked over as he explained how everything will be rough from now on, added on by Anna saying that she isn't exactly a merchant all day every day. He then instinctively reached up to his neck and he began to rub it. "I'm more than willing to dive into Ortus and back again while Gaia is still alive. I've done it before and really... nothing sounds so dangerous now." He continued with a shrug.

He paused after that. "In other words, yes, I'm in. But if you would care to share what your other... job is, then that will be appreciated."

General Luna

---

Luna looked over to Shade, giving her a small smile of appreciation thanks to her apology. "It's fine. I believe they were in the wrong for not listening to reason, or their refusal to do so." She assured her. Again, while she was still rather stuck on the idea of killing her own brethren, that didn't exactly mean that she was going to be in this state for long, nor would it hinder their progress. She let her hand fall from the hilt of her sword as she continued to speak.

Upon being questioned about what she will do once she gets to her kingdom, Luna paused. She's been asking herself the same questions over and over again - but mostly becaue of how news of Dragonrage Pass would anger King Hardin and brand her as a traitor. The sad smile on Emma's face moved Luna to say otherwise, but really wasn't sure about it. Shade reprimanded Emma, telling her that they all had their own duties - as Luna had her duties to her country as one of its generals. She gave them a smile but raised her hand. "Yes, I will be going back to the army, But I do believe that this problem is something that is high on the priority list." She pointed out before crossing her arms. "As a general, I cannot turn my head away from this problem. There are many other generals who can do my job, I believe." She gave them both a smile and a thumbs up.

Luna then nodded at Shade. "I do believe I have access to information that would be otherwise privy to you all." She did have access to a small portion of the royal library, thankfully, and a mere letter from the king could give them full access to any informaiton they may get. "King Hardin is rather accomodating, given the right conditions and reasons for whatever we have to do. If we're restricted, then perhaps we can talk to him about it."

@Polaris North The third option would be for her to listen in on Kent's Silver Shroud broadcasts and decide that Goodneighbour has a fellow defender of justice active there. She might make an attempt to try and meet up with the hero to try and form 'The New Unstoppables'.

She might be a little unhappy if she finds out the Silver Shroud isn't real, unless someone tries to trick her into helping Goodneighbour instead of slaughtering everyone in the neighbourhood. This could offer Hancock another source of 'security' for his expension plans, rather than relying on the Triggermen.
[/quote]

If she does feel the want to visit Goodneighbor, I think it's pretty painfully obvious just how... 'chaotic' it is. But really, isn't her kind of peacekeeping the same as Hancock's in that regard? But yeah, relying on the Triggermen is one of the problems right now so it might be a good idea to have an allegiance with her. Though it is up to you if you want or not.

Dearest Brother,

I am afraid I have to bear bad news in this latest letter of ours. Our land has been attacked by the monsters that had appeared all too suddenly. We were ill prepared for the attack, as we had eased up our security only days before the attack as we had other businesses to attend to that needed more security. It proved to be a wrong decision on my part as the monsters broke through one of our gates and kept on coming. We fought back relentlessly, but there was no end in sight. Days of fighting ensued until they finally reached the inner circle where our home is located. They also broke through that gate, but we had managed to repel them by then. It was suspicious, it was like someone or something was controlling them. I would have no time to investigate as our family was hit hard, and efforts to shelter those who lost their homes and also rebuilding the facilities from inside to the outside are being done. We have lost many good men. Our parents have also perished, along with Jeremiah. Everyone is pitching in to help with the efforts and we have pooled our many resources to rebuild, but this would stall our progress. We still sent out traders to sell whatever they can to keep the profit going, but if we do not recover soon, I am afraid we would suffer long-term consequences.

Gabriel read and re-read the letter over and over again for the entire ride. The Saldosius land attacked! By monsters! And it yielded disastrous results. This would be a major setback for the entire family. From what Micah wrote, it was so destructive that it would cost them much more money than normal, and would take a long time before they can get back on their feet. Their loss of men - cousins, workers and their very own blood - was certainly a bad thing too. And this was just thinking of the repercussions it had on their business! The emotional scars that his sister would have right now... Gabriel just couldn't imagine the face his sister would make. He sent a quick message that he was on his way back to South Akripola. It took him days of travel, and thankfully someone was willing to let him go along for a ride in exchange for an enchanted dagger.

The carriage pulled to a stop and he heard the stranger speak, "Well here we are. On the edge of Saldosius land. Looks like they took a heavy beating."

Gabriel dismounted the carriage and took in the sights. The entire outside area was ravaged. The usual sight of workers greeting him now seemed like a distant memory. It was empty, and not a single soul was to be seen. He gripped the straps of his bag and then turned to the stranger. "Thank you." He offered the stranger a wave. The stranger nodded his head and then urged his horse to go on. The sounds of hooves hitting the ground gradually disappeared, along with the wheels hitting the dirt path.

Gabriel then moved forward - taking in the sights of his old home. What was patches of crops was now just dirt with the occasional broken hut here and there - and some more broken equipment. He saw the carcass of the animals there, though it was obvious that it had been dead for a rather long time because of how much it had decomposed. The smell of death that had hit him was all too familiar to faze him, but his heart began to hurt. This was his land, and he couldn't protect it. No matter how much he hated being restricted by being in the land, he still cared about it.

He finally reached the inner circle of their land and he could already see the hastily repaired gate and multiple guards posted atop it. Gabriel raised his hand and waved it, getting the attention of the guard in front. Upon recognition of the man, the guard's face softened and he yelled, "Master Gabriel has returned. Open the gates!" There was a resounding cheer after that and the gates opened. Gabriel grinned at them as they greeted him with cheery faces despite everything that had happened.

"Glad you are still well Uriel." Gabriel said as he patted the guard's shoulderplate.

Uriel smiled back at the secondborn. "It will take more than that to bring me down sir!" He boasted. That was when his mood seemed to darken as he relaxed back into his original position. "Lady Micah is in the castle. She's in a meeting with the council about the repairs. I've heard they're considering of asking for help with one of the other families."

Gabriel's mouth formed a thin line as he pondered on the idea. He was not as smart in politics as he is with magic, but he didn't like the idea of showing the other family that they were so desperate that they need help. They might see this as an opportunity to take advantage of them. Then again, it would quicken the restoration of their land. Thankfully, he thought, there were others who were willing to help - mostly renegade travelers whom they have helped before.

Ever since Micah's rule, everyone had started to get along and they even started to treat the workers better than ever; hence why they were always so happy to see each other. Their parents were not happy with this. But thankfully they abolished such horrible treatment, since now they were more willing to help than to simply run away and never look back like what most 'slaves' would do under these kinds of circumstances. "I'll go see Micah."

"Yes sir."

With that, Gabriel headed for the castle which was in the middle of the inner circle of their city. He could see mages of all kinds helping out. Good thing they established a good educational building here too, since it helped cultivate mages. While, yes, they were employed for their own interests, he could confidently say that they would enjoy the studies if they really did have passion for magic. And what better occupation than the one that they thoroughly enjoy?

He reached the castle - which was just a larger form of a house if he were to be honest and much more grandiose in nature - and entered, giving the guards a nod. It wasn't damaged though, so he could assume that the monsters never reached this part of the area. Hopefully the ones at the south end of the inner circle was saved from the fate that befell those in the north, where he had entered. Gabriel turned his head from side to side, searching for any sort of life inside the castle - but there were none. Were their maids and butlers helping out outside? It would make sense, since they needed all the hands they could get. Even the guards seemed like they were only resting while taking watch.

Gabriel showed himself to the private room their family had. He bumped into their head butler, Fir, while heading there. Of course someone was still inside. "Ah, Master Gabriel, welcome back. I wish everything was in better condition for your return." He mused before bowing his head. "I shall alert Mistress Micah that you are here once she is done with her conference with the council. In the meantime, would you like some tea?"

He smiled at the head butler and nodded his head. "That sounds wonderful Fir." With that, Fir disappeared into another hall and towards the kitchen. Gabriel then positioned himself inside the private room's couch - the soft feeling of it making him instantly ease up. It has been a long time since he felt this kind of softness. He looked up to see a complete family portrait of his family - his father and mother standing behind the three siblings while Micah was sitting down in the middle with him and Jeremiah flanking her. The thought that they were dead hit him again and tears started to prick the sides of his eyes, threatening to fall.

That was when Fir opened the door and Gabriel snapped out of his thoughts. He quickly wiped his eyes with one swipe of his arm and then turned to Fir, who was laying down the tea he had offered. "Thank you Fir, you are dismissed." The butler bowed and then headed out. He reached over to drink some tea and it made him relax even further, and yet he couldn't help but sigh in sadness. He couldn't joke around with Jeremiah anymore. He couldn't have rows with his father anymore; as much as they didn't get along, that didn't mean he didn't like his presence. He couldn't have a daily talk with his mother over a cup of tea about his latest ruin he plunged himself in.

He heard the door open again and he turned his head - his sister at the door. There was silence between them as Gabriel stood up. A minute passed and Micah dashed towards him and began crying, gripping onto his shirt tightly, and Gabriel wrapped his arms around his sister. "I couldn't... I couldn't protect them Gabriel!" She exclaimed between sobs, tears flowing freely down her face. "I-I... I was right there when they... they..." She choked up as she buried herself deeper into her brother.

Gabriel patted Micah's back soothingly - but he was noticeably sobbing as well. He rested his head on her shoulder. "It's alright Micah." He muttered. "You did your best."

They stayed like this for what seemed like forever - two siblings seeking comfort in one another. Their family was now no more. The ever prideful Saldosius Family was decimated into near nothingness, with only the effort of the most resilient fighters' efforts that saved it. Everything they had known had been torn down. The places they grew up in were gone - destroyed. After their sobbing episode, the siblings sat down and Micah recomposed herself.

"Thank you for coming back Gabriel. I'm sure you were busy..." She said.

Gabriel quickly gave her a dismissive wave of his hand. "Nothing's as important as my family. Especially considering what had happened." He pointed out before leaning back. "Just our luck huh?" He muttered, facing upward and he gave a long sigh.

"They hit hard and fast. They practically came out of nowhere." Micah said, gripping her shoulders as she began to recount the entire event in more detail than what was on the letter. She almost broke down into another crying session but managed to compose herself again before continuing. Gabriel listened intently, every gruesome detail ingraining itself into his head. His hands bawled into fists as he vividly imagined the scenes she recounted. As she finished up, she buried her face into her hands. "I still can't believe all that happened in the span of three days."

"What I can't believe is how they managed to slip by the other borders without being spotted." Gabriel pointed out. He then began to tap his fingers against his thigh as he continued, "Not a single report right? They just appeared and then we get attacked... It's just too surreal you know?"

Micah nodded in understanding. "Well, like I said, someone might be involved. Or maybe there's some higher power involved in all of this. Smarter than just a bunch of monsters trying to kill, at the very least." She replied.

Gabriel then smiled. "And you want me to find out about it?"

She gave him a sad look. "You're the only one I can trust enough for this. I need the others here too. Can I count on your brother?"

He gave her a chuckle. "You bet."

Present

Or that's what he said, but three months have passed and he still got nothing. Even before the attack, he's been investigating the monsters as a side hobby, but yielded no results from it. It was odd, and he felt like it was wrong somehow. He doesn't even know how these monsters were made! He'd wanted to capture one just to see its general behavior, but even there he was unsuccessful. He's traded information with others to put some light on the mystery of these things - but still nothing.

Gabriel had entered the town of Nadska without much difficulty - since he was already known for stay here for a while before departing once again. Nothing much had changed in this small town. It was just another day. Maybe it was a good thing that nothing much happened in this place, since that would give him the peace to think without worrying someone would bound up to him to ask for an enchantment. Then again, there were some people who would do that here. He honestly couldn't bring himself to care anymore.

Heading to the marketplace first, he began to stock up on his food for the next few weeks, or days depending really. He managed to talk his way down to a manageable level of money for everything he bought. Thanking his father silently for teaching him how to haggle effectively, he began to walk around with no destination in mind. It still wasn't night so he wasn't keen on entering the tavern just yet, since that would just mean that there would be loud drunk people around him for the remainder of the day - and he didn't really like hanging around particularly aggressive ones.

Gabriel found himself near the Church to see a lot of them there. Last time he's been here, there weren't many people worshiping the God of Harvest. Then again, harvest time was coming around and the surrounding area was pretty damaged - so maybe they were just trying to invoke everything the God had to offer by increasing their numbers. Or whatever. Gabriel wondered if it would work though. He guessed that this wouldn't be the optimal time to check in with one of the worshipers who he made friends with before, to tell him about the various Gods and Goddesses - but mainly this one. He at least wanted to speak to him about things, as she's one of the few people he could really trust, but maybe that could wait until later.

Resigning himself to the fact that he can't do anything else aside from the tavern, Gabriel headed off to the tavern. It was pretty early in the evening and he waved at the barkeep who waved back at him. "Welcome kid, what do you need?"

"Just a room, and a glass of mead." Gabriel requested before dropping the requested money in front of the barkeep and he took it happily.

"Here's your room key, and then your mead." The barkeep said, not paying special attention to the male. Gabriel nodded a thanks and then headed off with mead in hand. He sat down at a table with another adventurer in it. The two spoke and exchanged tales of their adventures.

"You went down with Tujic and his goons to that ruin off to the west?" The adventurer asked, admiration in his voice. "Damn man, heard that place was full of traps."

Gabriel waved his hand dismissively and gave a light chuckle. "Yeah well, it wasn't too hard when you could read the runes that activated the traps were." He bashfully said, hand immediately going to the back of his head as he rubbed it.

The adventurer reached over to pat his shoulder. "Man, you lot must have been the talk of the town back then!" He loudly exclaimed which caught some attention, but once they saw the admittedly unimpressive looking male with the loud, bulkier adventurer, they just turned their attention back to themselves.

"Well, yes, Tujic and the others were at least." He replied with a small shrug as he took a swig of his mead. "Us Runic Mages just get our money share and just leave. Don't take much credit." He shook his head.

"Damn, bad luck. But you guys are still in demand, you know, the ones who actually want to delve into ruins. Ain't much of you guys around." The adventurer pointed out as he crossed his arms. "Say, if you aren't doing anything, you could run with us."

The secondborn shook his head and gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, but I'm on a job right now. Can't put it off really." As much as he loved going into ruins and exploring everything, he still had to find out about the monsters and he couldn't get sidetracked now. "Maybe another time?"

The adventurer clicked his tongue as he began to drink his own beer. "Shame. Next time we see each other though, be sure to stick with our band."

He laughed and nodded. "I mean, sure, if I'm done with my job." Gabriel replied with a thumbs up.

"Good brother! See you next time!" The adventurer finished his entire mug and then swiped off his sword. "Bye then!"

Gabriel cheerily waved. "Bye!: He slouched into his seat and began drinking his mead. That was when a hooded girl entered and had this strange aura about her. He watched her head to the barkeep and then request something before handing her payment - and the barkeep seemed to be so ecstatic about it.

This took him by surprise. What could the girl give that was so important? And the barkeep was even panicking. Leaning forward, he tried to pick off what it was by sight alone - even if he was a little too far back. The glint of blue that came off from the solid was interesting, and he became interested so he looked a bit more.

A parti sapphire.

So that's why. Gabriel sat back down and didn't pay it too much mind. He thought that it was something more than just a stone. While it was something important and actually very expensive, it wasn't something unique in Gabriel's eyes considering hos his father used to flaunt several himself.

Perks of coming from high society.

What was odd was when the woman turned to a Myti and then didn't react positively. She did something that scared the Myti, but Gabriel didn't really notice what it really was. The hooded woman left for her room, he assumed since she was going up, and Gabriel just simply took another swig of his mug. Okay, this was interesting.

Whistler was overall bothered by the sudden influx of people that came to Goodneighbor and became a hub for anyone and everyone to come. While he wasn't bothered by the chem-addicts and ex-murderers that roam the streets, it was another thing entirely if it was causing conflict after conflict regarding their conflicting moral views or whatever. Especially the new raiders, bandits and thugs who decided to make camp here. He's been hearing them going over about wanting to continue their raiding and their old habits, but that's what John Hancock didn't want.

And that's why he was here at the Mayor's Office today, to report what he had heard.

And John Hancock wasn't exactly too happy about that. "God those fucking argh!" The ghoul slammed his fists onto the desk before fixing his hat after his very short outburst. "Thanks for the report Whistler. I'll deal with those fuckers later." Hancock sat down on his chair and then began rifling through his drawers in attempt to find some form of drug to hit himself with to calm him down.

"Don't think that'll stop them Mayor." Whistler decided to say. The railroad agent recieved a curious look from the mayor and then urged him to continue. "They're not exactly the type to just get scared witless. Ain't working so far for them y'know? They know the rules, and they still don't think..."

Doctor Amari sauntered in - the affiliate of The Railroad now being a core member of Goodneighbor, as Hancock likes to call it. While she originally didn't like being called in by the mayor for decisions, she grew into the job well enough because such conflict would even result to danger for those who decided to use The Memory Den. While Irma could handle herself in a fight and the Neighborhood Watch there could really help, it would be immensely better if they could keep conflict to a minimum.

"Doc, what are you doing here?" Whistler asked as he stepped aside, surprised that she had made an appearance without being summoned by the mayor himself.

"Simple, because I have a suggestion for this." Amari replied before looking at Hancock. "Whistler isn't the only one to hear about this particular predicament, and many have stepped up with suggestions." She took out a map of Boston, courtesy of Whistler who had multiple accurate maps of the place from when he was in the Railroad. "Expand the territory."

There was silence after that. Hancock seemed to think about his options. That or he could change up his rules and kick out anyone who's trouble or not accept people because of their background. But that would restrict the people's freedom - and that went against everything he's built up for Goodneighbor. It was the reason he left Diamond City, and he was sure he wasn't going to do that here too. He snapped his fingers and pointed at Whistler. "Scout the places 'round Goodneighbor. See if we can get it under our city."

"Roger that, Mayor." Whistler then bowed his head before departing the City Hall.

"And what will you be doing Hancock?" Amari asked as she turned back to the ghoul.

Hancock stood up and then grabbed his shotgun along with his combat knife. He then pumped the shotgun and grinned at Amari who now knew the answer to her own question. "I'm off to teach some idiots a lesson." With that, he exited the City Hall and Fahrenheit - his bodyguard - followed close behind while still holding her signature Gatling Gun - The Ashmaker.

Name: Klaus Devin Jarsdel

Nicknames/Alias: N/A

Age: 45

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Heteroromantic Asexual

Ethnicity: Caucasian

State: Ancestors believe to have been from San Diego, California

---

Appearance Details: Klaus has a well-built frame gained over years of training and personal experience in fighting. His style of clothing is simple - formal or smart casual clothing. Things like suits and ties are most of the time what he wears, along with collared shirts and slacks. He seems to prefer these clothing because of how it gives an air of respect, as opposed to simply wearing casual shirts. He sometimes wears gloves, though it is most often seen when he's making deals with new people. He wears an onyx and gold pendant along with a silver watch on his left hand.

Tattoos, Piercings, Scars, Other: As per his old affiliations with a renegade group in Lisden, he has a tattoo that covers his entire left arm. He claims to have a story for why he had his entire left arm covered, as it was unusual to have one in that particular group, and when he's up for it, he's willing to give you a story. He has a number of scars throughout his body, but nothing too eye catching.

Brand Tattoo Placement: Right Wrist

Assets and Bank Account: Owning a top company certainly has its benefits;

Klaus owns two mines off into the slums in Lisden, as well as a 1, 200 sq meter area for his workers to live at. These are all personally maintained by his company to give the illusion of them taking care of their people so more would come crawling to work for him, and immediately sent into the mines. It consists of two apartment buildings, that are rather shoddy compared to those in Eden but in still better condition than in Morven; a kitchen that is maintained by said workers; and an area for his supervisors and guards who keep everything in order. What is good about this is that Klaus doesn't condone misconduct even against the lesser men.

In Eden, he owns a 34 story building for the main office of his company with the bottom floors reserved for day to day office business while the top floors are considered an apartment for those employees who have nowhere to go back to, or does not want to go back to their homes. The rent for these are deducted from their pay every month, but it is considerably less than what it would actually cause. There is a side office dedicated to the research and development for weaponry where scientists could go wild with their research as they have an underground testing site.

The main factory where the weaponry is being made has an undisclosed location to avoid anyone attempting anything, but it is said to be somewhere in Lisden and very heavily guarded. There are two more smaller factories in Eden and Korven. Several warehouses dot the land, but it is undisclosed on which empty warehouses they actually do own.

His house isn't as grandiose as others, only being a two story house but furnished well enough to compensate for the lack of size. It has everything he needs and more, along with a hidden underground area where he can hide out should he be attacked, and the attackers will be none the wiser to where the entrance is. This is also where he keeps his Vault where he stores his essentials. Parked in his house are two cars in good conditions. Other cars can be employed from the company.

As the owner of a weapons company, he owns a number of guns but the ones he most often takes out are these:

Vortex Mk. II - A high caliber revolver pistol that could blow someone's arm off if fired at a certain distance from them. He typically carries one in plain sight as it is holstered on his waist.

Loskir Final Ver. - Each pistol has sixteen bullets that can be placed in the chamber. The pistols can fire in quick succession from each other, but aren't as destructive as the Vortex series, but it does give more in terms of fire rate. Both are holstered under his coat.

Combat Knife - While not exactly as cutting edge as his guns, it's certainly still a force to be reckoned with; and it is what he usually uses when certain deals don't go well. Carries two of them on his person at all times, often hidden under his coat, sheathed on his back.

Bank Account Money: $2,310,856,000
Items in Vault: $1,202,814
Company Net Value: $237,901,210
Gems and Minerals collected in mines: $5,219,098

Gang Affiliation: Secretly allied with The Unseen

Occupation: Owner / CEO of Firehawk Weapon Company

Sanction: Sanction One: Eden

Favorite Season: Winter

Personality:

Charming - Respectful - Diligent | Manipulative - Blunt - Ruthless

Klaus, against all odds, knows his place in this world. He doesn't overstep his boundaries and know the limits of what he can do. This is what makes him an effective coordinator and leader. He also takes care of the people who are loyal to him, and he knows who they are. He always puts up the illusion of taking care of his employees as well so that he can get their top performance. He's the type of person who will give you an apple as a reward, but will threaten you with a blade if you take it without any form of hardwork to show him. He values diligence and hardwork above everything, seeing as how he crawled out from the very bottom of the gutters to one of the richest and most powerful citizens in Morvai. He does have a bit of a soft spot for the sick and children, but that doesn't stop him from utilizing them when he really needs it.

Though not necessarily honest to a fault, he can be incredibly blunt when he does. He doesn't beat around the bush, even in deals. Even though he may be secretive, he doesn't skirt around the subject. He says what he wants so that there aren't any misunderstandings. Being manipulative, he can catch on to emotions and feelings rather quickly and attempt to reflect what needs to be done, despite how small his ability to empathize it is.

Hobbies and Interests: Klaus is typically found just hanging outside his company when he's not working. He can be seen smoking on his break, or simply observing the others. Sometimes, he even goes out to explore the other sanctions. At certain days, he can be found in the Floating Lotus or roaming New Osaka, without bodyguards.

Small Biography: Nothing good happened in the beginning of his life, that was for sure. He was born to a piss poor family in Korven who could barely feed themselves, let alone a child. So they did what anyone who can't support a child, they threw him away. The child who had no name had no idea how he managed to live in Lisden. Everyone fended for themselves and no one took pity for the child. In fact, there has been multiple attempts to kill him, but he always managed to escape for one reason or another. He persevered as a child, even through thick or thin. He sometimes sneaked into Korven to get some food and to get some shelter, but he always gets back to Lisden by either getting kicked out or because he had no place to go to at Korven.

His life started to brighten when The Risen took him in - a group of homeless people who knew how to fight and to survive, and that they knew they needed to stick together. The Risen took the area by storm. It was small compared to the two big shots at Korven, but they all managed to make a name for themselves. As soon as he got in, they gave him the name 'Devin'. Years passed and the teenage Devin knew how to fight, to steal and to extort. Though, he often got away with talking people into giving him free things. Even as a young kid, Devin was quite the charismatic character. Thanks to his contributions, he was given a full sleeve tattoo which only three members having that - all with great contributions as well. He was the wolf because of his loyalty and how he prefers non-aggressive ways, but knows how to fight back when the time comes. The Risen moved on to Korven where they had a small base of operations.

But of course, The Risen was kicked down to the ground. How? Well, they bit off more than they could chew. While Devin was out attempting to get some form of food for the group, The Risen tried to take on The Kings even with their small number. Needless to say, they were completely overwhelmed and killed - leaving Devin alone. He managed to hole up in the old HQ where he survived for a year before getting a job at Firehawk Weapon Company as one of their supervisors when he managed to charm his way into the job. But Devin didn't stop there, claiming the name Klaus Jarsdel as his and then continued to work his way up. And work diligently he did. He worked his way up the ladder until he was close enough to Eden that he could practically taste the aristocratic air. The previous leader, Ophelius Bosar, noticed his work and then took him in as his protege, all as planned.

In the downtime he had as a mere employee and rising protege, he got involved romantically with a woman. Jacqueline was the only one he would ever really pay attention to aside from work - practically the only one who could tear him away from it. Klaus kept his background a secret from her and they did get married two years into their meeting, much to Ophelius's amusement. With Jacqueline expressing the want for a child, Klaus decided that it might as well be good for her so she would have something to busy her mind with. Thus, Anastasia was born.

Klaus continued to work diligently and ended getting the official statement that he was going to be the next leader. With his plan set in stone, he then secretly started getting the lower workers to pine for him, but never letting Ophelius know about it. He then made contact with The Unseen, making a deal with Kazuo to get rid of Ophelius. The leader agreed and their deal was struck. Ophelius died a 'natural death' and Klaus was now on the seat of one of the greatest weapon companies in Morvai. Honoring his deal with Kazuo, the Unseen was being supplied weapons through him. He appreciated The Unseen and their methods, as they also hold up their ends of the bargain.

Jacqueline died five years after his promotion to the top, from a sickness no one could cure. Devastated, Klaus swore off romance after that and simply decided to focus on the company and his daughter. He never did spoil her, but he did give her what she wanted as long as it was reasonable.

Now, Klaus often helps out in research and developments and sometimes even gets his hands down and dirty in the mines himself when he feels particularly bored. Dealing with others was something he particularly liked as interacting with others was something he was always particularly good at. He's been raking in money even more than Ophelius, but he knows he still has to be careful. You would never know what happens in Morvai.

Relationships:

Connor Sullivan | Associates

"A man of his word and an effective coordinator. Truly a man to be trusted, if not for his inability to lie."

Connor Sullivan, or as he has started to call the man, "Sully", simply became the go-to man when it came to Klaus's dealings with the Unseen. Klaus frequently seeks him out because of this. Though he does share a common interest with him, and would often invite him for a round in the Casino.

Serena Anastasia | Acquaintance

"A girl with a good intentioned heart. Morvai needs more of these people. Unfortunately, they don't last very long."

Klaus typically calls Serena whenever he needs one of his workers checked up, mostly because she's already in Korven and that she'll never say no to helping out. He's known her father before, and realized her potential as a doctor. When her father died and she decided to move to Korven, he's secretly sent surviellence for her to make sure she isn't involved in any sort of trouble. And to make sure no one hurts her.

Esperanza Hidalgo | Associate

"The girl works at the Floating Lotus. Admittedly not the worst singer I've heard."

Klaus and Esperanza don't talk much, as Klaus himself never sought an escort of any sort, but he does enjoy listening to her sing. He's most curious of her injuries and the story behind it, but never brought it up in conversations.

Miguel Hidalgo | Associate

"His services do tend to be handy every once in a while, and he does his job well I hear. Though, I have not yet tried to hire him for his more... unsavory jobs. "

Klaus typically calls for him when he wants something done, but never to the point of assassination. Not yet at least. He admits the the guy is useful in his own way, and is much more at ease hiring him than others because he's part of the Unseen.

Anastasia Jarsdel | Daughter

"If you harm her, I swear that that's the last mistake you will ever make. Not even The Kings, The Unseen or Morvai Security can help you."

Klaus cares for his daughter and does actually love her. He just doesn't show it all that much. He isn't a very good father as he lets her do whatever she wants as a sign of freedom even if it is wrong, but he does try. He admits that Jacqueline was better at the whole parenting thing since he never grew up with one. He rarely blows up at her, except for the time when she became addicted to drugs and he forced her to go through rehab for it.

Ret Shuzu | Associate

"Only really met the guy a few times. Most of our dealings are made through phone, or through mail, or whatever. What's important is that I get what I want and he gets his."

Klaus is a man who needs to know how to get an edge over his rival companies, and to get that, he goes to the best. He's been dealing with Ret ever since he found out about this little information broker. He hires him to dig around his rival's files and get them to him, and he pays him good money for it. He's come to relatively trust the guy since money's the only thing that motivates him. Klaus doesn't have much of an opinion on him in the ways of personal connections.

I shall move him then!

Now onto thinking for some relationships for the guy.

Miraculous America

Furitta's gauntlets slid out of their passive state. Multiple attempts to break down the door the normal way proved to be fruitless, as if something was propping it from the other side, and not even her enhanced strength could help her in that matter. So, she decided to just hack it down. These gauntlets were made of some form of metal that was harder than this door, that much she could guess. As she was going to begin breaking it down bit by bit, someone knocked on the door and called out a greeting. Her ears twitched as she picked up the sound. "Talon!" She shouted, going closer to the door so he could better hear her. "It's Furitta, they kind of locked me up here. Maybe they wanted to keep me out of the way considering what happened earlier." She explained, hoping that that was enough for Talon to start opening the door.

But then she heard other voices - this time of the mind controlled teenagers. Was Talon alone? She began to pound on the door. "Get out of here first Talon, I'll be fine!" She called out. So it was a trap huh? She could hear a load of students out there, and that meant Talon would have trouble. They may be uncoordinated on their feet, but their sheer number managed to overpower them repeatedly earlier. It would be way worse if the Instructor himself was there. Talon was up against a battalion of mind controlled teens, and he was alone. Still, what ran in her mind was the plead that he wasn't alone. Furitta hoped that Serpentine knew what she was doing, trusting her enough for this plan to go on.

Furitta distanced herself from the door before making a mad dash towards it, putting up the gauntlets to collide with the door and it successfully broke down - but she was sent tumbling forward because of the extra momentum she had that wasn't taken away by the door she just collided with. Tucking herself into a roll, she hit one of the teens fast enough that the teen stumbled backward. "Ugh, that hurts." Furitta muttered to herself before flipping away from the students and towards Talon, but also unaware of the whip heading for the Eagle-themed hero.

Oh trust me, his first draft wasn't exactly as nice though it didn't make sense in context as I went by.

I could change it sure. I'll do it later when I get home. I'll probably add a knife or a close range weapon of some sort later anyway.

And thanks!
