manner in which he conducts himself makes it all the easier to overlook and mistake. Though originating from the Reach, he didn't originally consider most other Reach tribes to be kin nor allies, due to the Kråke's subterranean isolation in Blackreach. After events fighting against the Grey Host, and then the Nozarga orc cult, he and his branch Clan have since made many friends and allies among the Reach, including the Ard and his Stonehands, Ghostsong Clan, Clan Stonebreaker and Dire-Maw. Always cool and collected on the surface, not much seems to sway or bother him, and he's not very well known even among his closest people to crack a smile or make jokes, always all-business, steely, and focused on the task at hand. Rather it seems more like he has difficulty cutting loose, with little interest towards social affairs, and he prefers to keep his secrets and privacy. Not surprisingly, he is a devout follower of Nocturnal, having worked long and hard to earn the favor of the Mistress of Night, and holds the title of a Champion of Nocturnal (of which he will openly state, his ego doesn't need to believe that he is her only Champion). While he makes a point not to create enemies where possible, he has drawn the ire of a few other Princes; Hircine, and--unsurprisingly--Meridia. Alekt has several beasts at his beck-and-call, including a flock of Gloam crows (of which his favorite is named Årvåken), Gloam wolves named Mørkaske and Røyk, and a Fjord horse named Sangrida. |

Unlike Alekt, her temperament is far more befitting the assumption of being a Reachwoman. Hotheaded and brash, Spy will be the first to admit she "leaves the delicate politics to Alekt, as she'd sooner punch someone in the face". Though being a bit more tactful when it matters than her boasts might otherwise lead one to believe, Spy is always ready for a good fight and some excitement, and prefers to charge into confrontation head-on. While not incapable of lies, Spy prefers blunt and brutal honesty, and not wasting time with anything that can be done with quickly. Less of a sight around Clan locations, Spy travels often and far, fulfilling mercenary and bounty work, as well as keeping an ear out for information that would interest the branch Clan led by her and Alekt. Similarly, Spy has a flock of Gloam crows that accompany her, with her favorite being Modig, and spends most of her travel by horseback with her trusty Hrafnjór stallion Ravn. Though no Daedric Champion, Spy likewise venerates Nocturnal and seeks her own path and growth as a future heir to the original Clan alongside Alekt. |

death of his parents, Reno left home to answer Hircine's call as a reincarnation of one of his Champions, where he was also introduced to the mate of his pack; Aera, a young Reachwoman of the Boneshaper Clan. After a few years together, Aera was killed, leaving Reno widowed. He also received word not long after of the death of his older sister in Wrothgar, and presumed death of her twin boys. With all of his family and wife gone, Reno fell into depression and drinking. Even discovering his nephews alive years later, their rejection of him only further fueled his self-destruction. He later came into the service of the Kråke Clan, finding his purpose again, and eventually worked his way to the title of Eye. His curse would start to catch up with him and threaten to turn him feral however, and so he was taken to make a deal with Nocturnal to suppress his curse, effectively "stealing" him from Hircine. It was this act that both made the Clan enemies to the Prince of the Hunt, as well as solidified Alekt's favor with Nocturnal to become her Champion. Typically more charismatic and charming than Alekt, Reno does relatively well in social affairs and earning the favor of others, often on behalf of his Clan Head. Though an altercation against the Gray Host saw him the loss of one eye, Alekt would otherwise defend "Reno's one eye is better than most others' two." While he wont hesitate to cut down enemy Reachmen when ordered to or as necessary, Reno is generally more sympathetic to the Reach than most others growing up in the north. |
Taken as a mortal prisoner into the Deadlands, his soul was eventually bound to an Iron Atronach after being experimented on, and he was used as a gladiator and executioner in the fighting pits there. After uncounted time trapped in Oblivion, Gregario eventually found a way out of the Deadlands and returned to the mortal plane of Nirn, though even when changing form to appear more "human", his body retained a black iron appearance. By chance, he came across the Clan and was welcomed within it, despite his irregularities, proving to be a strong addition not only physically, but mentally as well, capable of smashing down foes, standing up to Daedric Princes, and mediating difficult Clan-members alike. His promotion was swift and given with confidence as one of the Clan's leadership and its spearhead, and after events against the Waking Flame cult and Mehrunes Dagon, his reputation outside the Clan grew as well, as he amassed a small army of Daedra and goblins within a Deadlands stronghold that he claimed, where he also trains Clan members in polishing their combat skills. |
Alekt's paths to cross, making her one of the first of the branch Clan led by Alekt. While not incapable of handling herself in a fight, Ster is most often a gentle and warming presence, so long as she doesn't catch you sneaking out of her healer's tent prematurely. She seldom finds herself in the company of the Clan on a regular basis, as she is often busy with refining her techniques and knowledge of healing magic and alchemy, but is always available and on-call in any emergency where the Clan needs her and at any time. When asked of her name, unusual even by Khajiiti standards, she would reply "Have you ever heard the sound lightning makes as it strikes a tree? This one was named on the eve of just such an event." |

and while vampirism wasn't exactly in the plans, she's taken to it quite well, making full use of her newfound shadow abilities and ability to shapeshift into a bat for her underground work. Her propensity to annoy and harass might fool some, but she is quite skilled at what she does and capable of becoming serious when its needed, excelling at most of the shadow-work the Clan asks of her, be it thievery, spying, espionage, or assassination. |
blessing to be able to shapeshift into a raven. As part of his relation to the Prince of the Hunt, Arata and another were initially tasked with finding Alekt and bringing him to the Hunting Grounds since Alekt had "stolen" his Champion from him, but Arata quickly got cold feet after their first two meetings went badly and Alekt bested him. After the events of the Gray Host and Hircine's forgiveness towards Alekt's Clan, Arata joined rank, but it wasn't without its hardship. Suspicious of his motives, Arata's reception into the Clan was rougher than most, but he stuck it through, especially after his friend who also worked under Hircine was killed by the Silver Hand. Hard-headed and often belligerent, Arata's proven himself a valuable member of the Clan despite the initial suspicion surrounding him, proficient in both stealth and siphoning magic. He is still often the subject of frequent scolding and lectures, his title "Lone-Raven" not coincidental to the fact that he's in the habit of going his own way, and sometimes getting in over his head into trouble as a result. He often makes reference that Alekt "reminds him of someone" that puts him on-edge, but he rarely offers any direct answer as to who that "someone" is. |
She spent her youth as a mercenary, roaming Tamriel and hiring on for whatever work would pay best. Years of such work take a toll though, and as she aged, she began to choose her jobs more deliberately. As her wealth grew, she sought to help the forgotten citizens of Tamriel- the poor, the outcast, the desperate. Retired now from mercenary work, Marz indulges in hospitality. She owns several taverns throughout Tamriel and staffs these with friends down on their luck who need a job, a place to sleep, or a quiet place to hideout a while. Though she travels often among her establishments, her main dwelling is “The Poisoned Cup Tavern” in Bangkorai. Just south of the Wrothgarian Mountains, it is also a convenient storage and drop-off point for goods she helps to smuggle into Wrothgar to aid the refugees attempting to start a new life there. Marz considers each member of the Clan as her family and all of her establishments are safe-havens where the Clan can congregate, regroup and recharge. She is always quick with a tankard of ale, a heaping plate of food, and a loud (if slightly off-color) story to any who walk through her door. She is a hugger, a listener, a jokester and, when warranted, an advisor. And she still keeps the maul from her mercenary days close at hand. |
She first met Alekt whilst serving as the record keeper of a once influential family. When the family separated, she was approached by Alekt and eventually helped keep the records for the Clan. Ceci is often very friendly to everyone, though once you have earned her ire, she will have nothing to do with you. More often than not she is out exploring with her husband, former Clan member Rhaiyen. She craves knowledge, and is always on the hunt for more. Her need to explore everywhere at one point landed her in the claws of a werewolf in Bangkorai, and since then she has taken even more steps to avoid people; fearful she may attack someone. |

with a birth defect and a speech disability. Born with a weak heart and sustaining a head injury at a young age, Kytes is plagued with a disorder known as Speech Aphasia, making it difficult to form coherent sentences and words. Viewed as worthless and vulnerable, and with no one protecting him, he suffered a great deal of abuse and slavery most of his life. That was until he met Reno, who took him in and offered him a home, though all was not sunshine in paradise, since Kytes viewed Reno with suspicion and hostility in the early months of their relationship, fearing him to be just another person out to exploit and hurt him. Through a lot of patience and struggle, Reno and Kytes bonded over time, even to the point that Kytes came to view Reno as a potential lover, though given Kytes' history of abuse and the gaps in their ages, Reno heavily resisted reciprocating for a long time. Afraid for Kytes' fragile health and his propensity for illness, as well as his speech and physical ability to protect himself in Reno's absence, Reno granted him a rare gift: his Champion strain of Lycanthropy, given by consuming some of his shapeshifter blood. Kytes gained the ability to shapeshift into a dire wolf (ironically, despite having a huge phobia of anything vaguely canine), among other creatures, and the ability to speak telepathically, bypassing his normal speech barriers, though the ability to speak into others' minds often creates pause. While Kytes has grown soft and affectionate towards Reno over time, even claiming him as his Mate/Lover, he still retains a general foul attitude towards just about everyone else. Its not uncommon for him to either shut down and stay quiet or try to alienate those around him, and his lack of any real loyalty to the rest of the Clan or desire to progress within it or make friends has meant he's never moved past the rank of Fledgling so far. Carrying Reno's blood and being his mate, Kytes is technically an Alpha of Reno's pack, but he's been mostly reluctant to step up to or acknowledge the role, content to play second fiddle so long as there's no one around getting too close to Reno to inspire his misplaced jealousy. |
