Narrative Significance
High Commander Garrick Voss is widely regarded as a decisive figure in the Adernian–Savidorian conflict. Reports credit him with the strategy that led to the capture of the Monster of Savidor and note a significant shift in his decisions after revelations concerning the boy’s origins. While initially focused on preventing replication of the weapon, Garrick later rejected proposals to employ Luka in further combat, redirecting the Second Order toward containment and protection. Public opinion remains divided on whether this restraint was an act of humanity or a costly political risk.
✦Addendum — Garrick often questioned whether his choices were the right ones. The public remains equally uncertain.
Maeve
Age

Kingdom Affliation
Adern
Known Titles/Ranks
Junior Healer
Physical Assessment
Small and slight, straight brown hair and pale. Slightly pointed tip to the ears.
Temperament
Energetic ⨳ Passionate ⨳ Fierce Defender ⨳ Leads with heart ⨳ Speaks before overthinking
Narrative Significance
Maeve's position with the Second Order was widely regarded as unexpected yet earned. Dedication eventually had her chosen over more experienced healers as the head physician to Luka's care. Reports indicate she gave Luka his name and was the first to see the human behind the monster. There was a point in the reports where her career became precarious due to a documented disregard for orders. The incident resulted in less than favorable circumstances during her continued residence within the Second Knight Order Tower. Her personnel records also note a tendency toward difficulty working with peers when disagreements arose. She reports in her interview no personal desire to repeat said actions as it placed her in a difficult light for quite a while. She currently resides at Voss Estate, continuing her care for Luka.
Luka

Race
Human
Kingdom Affliation
None - formerly Savidor
Known Titles/Ranks
The Monster of Savidor
Physical Assessment
Height difficult to establish. Fluid posture. Scars up and down right side of body. One eye damaged beyond repair.
Temperament
Hypervigilant ⨳ Easily startled ⨳ Explorative ⨳ Curious ⨳ Food motivated
Narrative Significance
Most verified information regarding the subject known as Luka remains minimal. Records agree he was altered at a young age through experimental magics attributed to the Savidorian mage Varos, whose research was largely destroyed during the war. These alterations produced the entity later called the Monster of Savidor—an unstable weapon capable of catastrophic magical output, though at severe cost to the subject’s own strength and clarity of mind.
Following his capture by High Commander Garrick Voss and the Second Order, reassessment of Luka’s origins prompted a shift in military doctrine. The boy is now held under crown protection while attempts are made to stabilize his condition. Public opinion remains divided: some view him as a victim of wartime cruelty, while others regard his continued survival as a dangerous political concession.

Adern
Known Titles/Ranks
Knight Captain of the Second Knight Order
Physical Assessment
Tall, dark, and a perpetual look of disapproval. One of the most physically capable knights on the Second Order Rosters.
Temperament
Disciplined ⨳ Honorable ⨳ Stubborn ⨳ Impressive Self Control ⨳ Unintentionally Intimidating
Narrative Significance
Riven Hawthorne, Knight Captain of the Second Order, rose quickly through the ranks due to exceptional discipline, loyalty, and physical capability. Field reports consistently note his reliability in carrying out high-risk assignments and his close professional association with High Commander Garrick Voss. While not regarded as a major strategist, Riven’s execution of orders and steadiness under pressure earned him a place among the commander’s most trusted officers.
Public accounts describe a period of personal turmoil following the battlefield death of his brother, Rhodney Hawthorne—an event Riven directly witnessed. Records indicate ongoing conflict between his duty and his unresolved grief, particularly concerning Luka, whose actions caused the loss. Despite this, Riven maintained his position and continued to serve with noted restraint. His surviving family includes his mother, Eliza, his sister Vanessa Leeds and her two sons.
