Heroes
Lord Sagittel
 As the very pinnacle of elven valor, Lord Sagittel has been guarding the living forests of Quendaylon for centuries. His incomparable sense of duty has kept him from his chair on the Great Council in favor of serving on the field of battle. Sagittel's rich combat experience and keen wit has made him the envy of even the most skilled elven commanders. Those elves who wish to sharpen their skills with the sword and bow often seek out Lord Sagittel and devote themselves to learning from him.
Sagittel is the only elf who has been deemed worthy of possessing the weapons created by the true dragons.
- Possesses long-range capabilities
- Efficient attacker
- Lends long-range support

Gylven
One of the most powerful sorceresses of the Order of Watchers, the very essence of magic seems to flow through Gylven.. She has been carrying out special missions from the elven leaders for years, though her deft touch has mainly been used in the realm of politics and internal affairs of Quendaylon.
After the war with the demon Farrakh and the fall of the Great Council, Gylven was given the task of monitoring the spread of dark magic as it fouled the area around the stronghold of Sumgan. Humans and elves alike wanted to ensure that the creatures which had fallen under the influence of dark magic would not be able to escape the borders of the prohibited lands.
- Master of combat spells
- Efficient attacker
- Vulnerable in close combat

Father De Lande
Known for his devotion, Senior Inquisitor De Lande could have become High Priest were it not for his excessive zeal during interrogations. Indeed, his dark, wild enthusiasm took even Pope Ildebrad III by surprise.
Although the upper echelons of the church were closed to him, it was agreed that De Lande's considerable talents would best be put to use in the defense of the Parsa Monastery. This sacred place housed the most dangerous artifacts found by the Inquisition since the time of the Tirol Wars.
- Strong attacker
- Can learn to use powerful prayers
- Particularly efficient against monsters and heroes

Derrick Pfeil
The mere mention of mercenary commander Derrick Pfeil’s name is enough to instill fear in the heart of even the bravest warrior. His cold judgment and stern nature in tandem with his knowledge and tactical mastery has kept him from losing a single battle in all his years of command. The services of his mercenary army are not cheap, but he never lacks customers willing to pay dearly for their safety. A descendant of an ancient family, Pfeil inherited honor, nobility, excellent manners and the secrets of his ancestors' fencing school. One would be hard-pressed to find a more dangerous enemy throughout all the kingdoms.
Though given the title of Marshal during the devastating war with the demon, Derrick was soon given a much loftier title. Following the end of the conflict, he was crowned King of Leranse – the most powerful kingdom in all of Illis.
- Specializes in melee combat
- Efficient in attack and defense
- Increases skills of the nearest friendly units

Illair
Having honed his considerable talents on the field of battle against Farrakh’s foul creations, Illair has become a highly skilled swordsman. In addition to his supremely valuable qualities as a soldier and commander, Illair is a fiercely loyal friend, though he often chooses his company from among similarly experienced warriors. As such, it is perhaps unsurprising that he considers Sagittel to be his best friend.
- Strong attacker
- Well-protected
- Particularly efficient against monsters and heroes
- Improves the characteristics of the neighboring friendly units

Master Maverick
This powerfully skilled magic-user is one of Master Brennok's most talented disciples. Maverick's abilities made such an impression on the mages of Sylent that he was awarded a master's degree immediately after graduating from the academy. During the uneasy time of strife which soon followed, the young master was forced to fight shoulder to shoulder with his teachers on the battlefield.
- Master of combat spells
- Lends magic support
- Efficient against all types of units
- Vulnerable in close combat
