Kerillian: Injured and stranded in Skaven territory

Enigmatic and sharp-sighted, Kerillian is a Wood Elf with little (outward) affection for others. She left her post as a Waywatcher in her ancestral home of Athel Loren, for reasons that are her own. Using her exceptional skills with a bow and blade to take down anyone perceived as a threat, she is as likely to kill you as she is to begrudgingly acknowledge your presence. She is always seen with her face covered, wearing a cloak and usually wielding a Longbow.

Kerillian has little patience to teach others, mainly focusing on her own path and improvement. Like all elves, Kerillian regards humans as nothing more than clueless children, and treats them accordingly, most often drenching her answers to their naive questions in patronising sarcasm.

Like all wood elves, Kerillian feels the pull of both light and dark. First as a Waywatcher, and now as a more experienced Waystalker, she has kept those aspects in balance. Indeed, Kerillian’s reason for journeying to Ubersreik was an attempt to help her reclaim her moral poise. Thus Kerillian is mercurial at best, at once resentful of the path she has been called upon to walk, and grateful for the chance to make amends. But who knows how little it may take to topple her from that path?

Even for a Wood Elf, Kerillian’s sight was sharp, able to pick off a ladybird eating a leaf at a hundred paces if she chose to. But this gift, coupled with a natural curiosity also turned into a curse when she saw something that no mortal was meant to see. One autumnal night, when both moons rode high in the sky, Kerillian spotted a Spellsinger as he meandered under the boughs. The Elf mage was no trespasser and so there was no reason Kerillian should have kept track of him, and yet she did.

Her curiosity piqued. The Waywatcher followed the mage from above as he walked deeper into the forest... and put her on a path that would change her fate forever?

She has 4 other allies, a Witch Hunter known as Victor, a Witch known as Sienna, a Dwarf known as Bardin and a Mercenary known as Kruber.

Witch Hunters are gruff at the best of times, and Victor is so dedicated to the fight against Chaos and Evil for personal reasons that even his peers tend to feel he is unlikable and even dangerous. Unlike other Witch Hunters, Victor has no objections to working with other races. To him, the end justifies the means, and he is ultimately willing to fight alongside anyone as long as they are not outright enemies of Sigmar and the Empire.

Victor has a strong obsession with the Skaven that has led to friction with his superiors in the Order, and affected his ultimate career path. Additionally, his lack of objections towards working with other races separated him even further from his fellow members. He is usually seen as an Empire Witch Hunter with a tall hat wielding a rapier and a brace of pistols.

He may be the shortest in the group of heroes, but the Dwarf Ranger Bardin Goreksson certainly makes up for it in ferocity, determination and spirit. Gregarious, prideful and not afraid to offend, Bardin is frequently seen charging into the thick of battle, axe or hammer in full swing and leaving a trail of Skaven corpses behind him. Once the victory is assured, he will be the first back to the pub, roaring and laughing at the top of his lungs in a manner of which only a dwarf is capable.

Bardin arrived in Ubersreik as part of his journey to discover the lost hold of Karak Zorn. After the events of Vermintide, Bardin continues to accompany the rest of the heroes while still searching for the lost Dwarven hold. He is usually seen with a large beard, wielding a Hammer and occasionally a Shield.

Blessed with a sharp intellect and a wicked sense of humour, Sienna will generally pass for a well-adjusted individual, as far as wizards go. Those who witness her in battle, however, will soon catch a glimpse of how deep her dependency and addiction to the adrenaline rush of Aqshy's magic has taken her. She is fiery tempered, but good humored, if perhaps a little unhinged.

Sienna arrived in Ubersreik as the prisoner of Victor Saltzpyre, and guarded by Markus Kruber for an impending trial. After the events of Vermintide, her trial is "postponed" however, leaving her a future she wasn't expecting. She is usually seen as a Bright Wizard wearing red robes, and wielding a fireball staff and engulfing enemies in flame.

As a sergeant, Markus Kruber led the 8th Ostland Swordsmen to victory many times, inspiring confidence and loyalty in his men and forming a strong bond with them. When he was the sole survivor of his unit's attack against a necromancer, Markus found himself a broken man. He attempted to leave the army but was denied. Impressed with his skill, Witch Hunter Victor Saltzpyre persuaded Markus' superiors to let him leave and become an escort for Victor's Bright Wizard prisoner to Ubersreik. After the events of Vermintide, Markus continues to be in Saltzpyre's employ. He is usually seen in partial armor, wearing a feathered hat and wielding a Two-Handed Sword or Halberd.

Though an unusual party, this is the group she has fought alongside of for months, and it's a group that Kerillian has come to begrudgingly respect and care for, even if she never lets them know that.
