Supreme dark-elven matriarch

The dark-elf queen of a fallen kingdom, with long black hair and a perpetual, almost melancholic expression. Pure dark elves are extremely rare, rarer even than high elves. She considers dark elves to be a noble race far and above other races. As a witch, she possesses the unique ability to increase the physical prowess of monsters several times over—and is the cause of hundreds of years of war and atrocities.

Faithful royal retainer

Young knightess and loyal attendant to Olga, having sworn lifelong allegiance to her queen. She is half dark elf, half mortal, but despises all men because of the terrible treatment she suffered at human hands from birth until Olga took her in. Exceedingly straight-laced, but adept at carnal pleasures due to the training visited upon her during her time with humans.

Proud princess knight

The beautiful sole daughter of the Arcturus family, a prestigious noble family in Eos. As commander of the Knights of St. Iris—the main military unit at Fortress One—she is highly respected and admired by her subordinates. Her skills are a credit to her own perseverance and not a reflection of her bloodline. Minister Beardsley harbors certain designs on her, though she remains oblivious; perhaps because of her virtuous nature, she knows next to nothing of sex.

Shy and sheltered princess

Fortress Two royalty extolled as the Moon-Flower Princess, loved by her people for her delicate looks and kind heart. This can inspire a protective instinct in some, but extreme cruelty in others... She looks up to her cousin Alicia and hopes to someday grow as strong as her. Feels uncomfortable in the presence of the Mortadella Brothers, pigmen merchants who never fail to leer and linger...

Mysterious Eastern priestess

The leader of Fortress Three, she is the chief of a group of priestesses who worship strange gods. Always quiet, with a vague air that makes it difficult to read her mind. While attentive to her subordinates, she is essentially uninterested in anything other than the gods she serves. She is now being targeted by an Evocator, who was once a member of her group but has fallen off the righteous path, and is now set on subjecting her to an experiment to create a god to surpass all gods...

Loudmouthed halfling leader

Although small in stature, this halfling possesses impressive strength—and can swing a great axe as tall as she is. As the head of her tribe, she protects Fortress Five. However, her cocky, foul-mouthed personality can get the best of her, leading to tantrums, tears, and much sulking and pouting...

Free-spirited “big sister” mercenary

A mercenary who wanders the land, pledging fealty to no group or master. She is highly skilled with a wealth of experience, and many a Black Dog admires and lusts after her. She has a caring, older sister-like personality, but is rather callous towards males who make advances toward her. She was once approached by a wealthy man who had sought to take her on as an escort, but she brusquely rejected him on that occasion as well.

Childless ex-captain of the Holy Knights

Leader of a knighthood that defends Fortress Six and Fortress Seven, she also serves as the high elf Celestine’s personal bodyguard. A moral woman married to a civilian named Klaus, when it comes to battle, she is as formidable as a war god. Though happily married, she has yet to bear a child...

Revered high-elf goddess incarnate

A high elf revered as the reincarnation of the Goddess Larentia, who is widely worshipped by the people of Eos. She is adored, respected, and loved by all of the people of the Seven Shield Alliance, but in that same vein, she is abhored by all demons. Her flawless skin and ample breasts are known far and wide.

Scheming Black Dogs commander

The protagonist and brain behind the Black Dog Mercenaries. Also known as the Mercenary King, he is an outlaw most loyal to his own desires, but keeps his men in line with impeccable leadership and a god-given talent for scheming. Highly skilled on the battlefield, he adores the chaos of war above all else, consistently setting a prime example for his troops in much pillaging and plundering...
