Summaries

[Learned Hand]

I think it would be useful to have a paragraph summing up your character here, so people know who's on their team. The original summaries are lost somewhere in the 8-page thread on this board

Peleps Miko is a commander of the Ebon Legion, specialising in marine or coastal warfare. Until recently, she was a marine troop commander in the navy of House Peleps, having also served in such a role in the Imperial legions after her graduation from the House of Bells.

She joined the Ebon Legion, thus removing herself from Dynastic life, when her beloved son, Meridian, a sorcerer and her only Exalted child, was torn to pieces by a demon summoned by a careless companion, Ledaal Kebok Mara. Since then she has been on a personal quest to rid the world of the scourge of the Yozis.

Before the loss of her son, Miko was a charming and friendly character - somewhat quiet, but with a good sense of humour (and a laugh like a babbling stream) when in the company of friends. Since then she has become increasingly withdrawn and solitary, tending to brood in her rooms rather than socialise. However, she performs her duty to a fault and is nothing if not dedicated to her new legion. Perhaps when she feels she has avenged her son's death she will be able to enjoy good company once more.

Cathak Garel Jadzia is the prototypical fire aspect. A woman of strong passions and intensity in everything she does. She has been a devout believer in the Immaculate Philosophy since early childhood and her strong sense of right and wrong have gotten her into trouble. She had a difficult childhood, clashing with her parents and her peers when she felt she new better.

After graduating the House of Bells she went to the south with her sworn brotherhood, getting involved in lots of different exciting and dangerous missions. She worked on many aspects of herself, but still got into trouble for her impulsiveness. Finding it hard to keep quiet when she saw things she disagreed with.

After some time away she took up a post in the legions, though rarely took command on the battlefield, as more often her commander assigned her to Blooded commando raids. Though more than adequate as a commander she found infiltration and individual combat more satisfying.

Her devotion to her familh, her house and The Realm remained steadfast, and though she once or twice refused to violate her personal ethics she proved her loyalty and her willingness to do what was needed on many occasions. When the Ebon legion recruited her she didn't hesitate. Delighted to serve the realm in whatever capacity she could.

Since joining the Ebon legion she has served with distinction and dedication. She has questioned her orders in the past, but each time she has been shown the necessary actions are for the greater good. For now she has been convinced that she is doing the right thing. And she will continue to do whatever she can to serve the realm.

Despite being born on the Blessed Isle, Ledaal Shinzon was dispatched at an early age to the Ledaal Catala household in the Threshold before being sent to the Palace of Tamed Storm, having been labelled a 'problem child'. He graduated surprisingly quickly and moved straight back to the Threshold.

Not much is actually known of his life before joining the Ebon Legion since he tended not to move in traditional Dynastic circles and was rarely noticed when he did so. Even since joining the Legion, he has remained fairly tight-lipped about the circumstances and his history, simply saying it has no bearing upon his performance.

Adopting the name "Cobalt Shadow" (which many suspect to be an operative name holding over from time in the All-Seeing Eye), he is respected for his ability to remain cool under duress and ensure that orders are carried out effectively and efficiently. His ability as an intelligence and comunications operative is one of the best in the Legion. It has been noted though that he will almost go out of his way to ensure that open battle is avoided but independent analysis and his own explanations more than adequately explain any suspected deficiencies in his competence or devotion to ensuring the Realm remains safe.
