heroes five

Trained to be a diplomat and poet rather than a warrior, Faidaen is less comfortable with a sword than most of his brothers. He prefers to strike quickly and powerfully, but from a distance. His favorite tactic is to first weaken the enemy with a rain of well-aimed arrows. Specialization Merciless Arrows: At the start of each battle, a rain of arrows lashes the enemy ranks. The damage dealt depends on the hero's level. (Only Forest Alliance archers are capable of this.)

Character: negative Character: cunning and cruel. Biography: Queen Fiona's personal sorcerer, Markel founded a necromancer sect in the Griffin Empire. The sect's center was the city of Mythograd. After Fiona's death, the necromancers rebelled. But their rebellion was easily suppressed by Godric and a squad of knights. Godric was confident of victory at the time, so young Nicholas, only 15 years old and not yet fully confident in wielding a sword, was present on the battlefield. Markel was exiled from the Empire by Godric.

Character: neutral Personality: equates all living things with emptiness and praises only Asha (the spider goddess of necromancers), it is quite difficult to figure out Arantir's character. Biography: Arantir was a bookworm his entire life. He never left his library in Nar-Ankara for at least nine or ten years. But after Markel's death, when Erish changed, so did his ruler. Arantir assumed the position immediately after this tragic event. And he turned out to be quite a good ruler.

And his relatives and advisors have become very adept at playing on his fears... Biography: This dwarf's reign was short-lived. He was quickly overthrown. He was deposed by Wulfsten, a rebel also fighting Alaric's Reformed Church. Tolgar himself allied with them.

Other information about the character: Duncan never liked palaces and social gatherings. Duncan is a freedom-loving man who enjoys horseback riding and fencing.

Character: positive Personality: Kind but also strong-willed, Frida became queen and a new ray of hope for the Empire, despite her young age. Biography: Frieda was the daughter of the Imperial Knight Godric. An aristocrat by birth and character, she was also a skilled warrior and strategist. After Isabelle's return from Sheogh, Frieda was immediately recruited as a commander. After witnessing the brutal methods of Alaric's New Church (robbing their own villages and killing their own peasants), she decided to betray Isabelle. Strangely enough, her thoughts coincided with those of her father, for which he was thrown into prison. Frieda was forced to kill her uncle, Lord Caldwell, the third child in her father's family. But after all this, she defected to the rebels led by Duncan, the ruler of the Duchy of the Stag. Unfortunately, she was unable to save her father. Other information about the character: Frida later became a queen.

Character: positive Character: Righteous and valiant, in a word, an ideal knight, paladin of King Nicholas (and later Queen Isabelle).

A veteran of many battles and a champion of hundreds of tournaments, Godric firmly believed in the ideals of chivalry and never betrayed them until his last breath. Other character details: Godric also has a daughter in the story. Frida is later rewarded for her father's invaluable efforts—she becomes queen, and the human empire is once again renamed the Unicorn Empire. Godric himself died as a result of torture and torment at the hands of the inquisitors and adherents of the reformed church—the old man's heart simply gave out.

Character: negative Character: like Biara Biography: unknown. Shadia is Biara. The succubus simply needed to gain Railag's trust and kill him.

Character: positive. Character: Educated and intelligent, kind and pure at heart, but at the same time daring. Biography: Zehir was never known among mages for his eagerness to learn. However, the young archmage learned quite quickly. His training was measured in months rather than years.

Zehir, on the contrary, loved both his father and mother.

Character: neutral Personality: Cruel, but reasonable and fair, Agrael became a demon only out of a desire to master chaos magic to perfection.

On the day of the Falcon's Last Flight, when legions of demons poured through the portal into the Empire, a civil war broke out in the Falcon's Nest (Talongard), and his father, Alex Griffin, seized the Empire's throne. Niolas himself ruled and died, just like his father.

Biography: Queen Isabelle hails from the Griffin Duchy. Oddly enough, an eclipse occurred at the moment of her and Nicholas's wedding, and hordes of demons poured into the empire. Thus began a long and bloody war, immediately followed by Queen Isabelle's War. Nicholas immediately set out for Shiogh to fight. Isabelle was later captured by the Overlord.
