World Building Challenge Week Super Sunday - Character Intro Part 3
Darnier is Ritter Cline’s second-in-command. An honest and brutal man, he believes in the letter of the law, and disagrees with any other interpretation of it, often putting him at odds with his superior. Still, he is loyal, and will follow orders without hesitation.
Scarred in his youth by a possession removal gone wrong, Darnier is often haunted by his mistakes, and does everything he can to ensure nothing goes wrong again.
Tamina Anker is the younger sister of Niklaus. She is the sole survivor of demonic possession, saved by Klara Suran when they were both children. But it has been kept a secret from the rest of the world. As a member of nobility, she lives in what is considered the safest place in the Empire, thus possession should not be possible.
Confined to her home most days and unable to speak of her experience, even to her family, Tamina has come to struggle with the trauma she underwent as a child. She spends much of her time with her nose in a book, desperately attempting to escape the world she has been locked away in.
Though Lleyton has passed on by the events of the main story, her legacy has echoed across the years. A charismatic leader of the factory workers of Forge Town, Lleyton sought to give the people a better life in the Empire, with equal rights and pay for all. Her enthusiasm led the people to protest, and then revolt, and it was put down violently, ending in a massacre that left her and hundreds dead in the streets.
The scars of the massacre are still evident in Forge Town. The people have not forgotten how they have been mistreated, and they continue to carry her name forward as they strive for better lives. She was the mother of Roland Keller, though this is only known to a few.
