The Red Raven & The Raven Vanguard

Red Raven The Red Raven is an unthinkably brutal dictator in control of the smugglers port of Black_Water_Cove, a hive of criminal activity, organised crime and most of all, ALCOHOL! The Red Raven rules with an iron fist, using his vanguard to act as his eyes and ears in those places that he would not normally visit. The Red Raven is a former pirate turned "Entrepreneur" of crime after leaving the life on the open seas. He is an Avenkin, a species that is very rare to find in this setting, resembling the raven species, with crimson colouration on his wings and feathered portions of his body. The human skin tone of his body resembles a Rehellinin from Lykoto. Raven Vanguard These are the personal security force of the Red Raven, the ruler of Black Water Cove, and they prevent anyone from revolting or threatening the Raven’s absolute rule. They are a band of former assassins, mages and marines turned pirates, slavers and smugglers following the failure of the conquest of the Northern territories. However, they don’t just secure the port, but they also man several sailing vessels, as well as commanding fleets of ships. Each of these ships have their own formidable captains, but three of these stand out above all others. They patrol the high seas on quests for the Red Raven, taking out any of the raven’s opponents. Garments. They wear studded leather with a burgundy tinge and black cloaks emblazoned with a scarlet raven that carries a dagger in it’s beak. This is accompanied by a half mask that hides the top half of their faces. These masks typically resemble different types of birds, although, the most common type is a raven mask. Preferred Weaponry. Their preferred weapon is a dagger, although, there are a few of the leadership that command the Raven’s forces that possess their own favoured weapons. There are also those who favour the arcane arts and have the ability to cast devastating evocation and necromantic incantations. The five commanders of the Raven’s forces each have their own personal weapons. Zezilient = Glaive (made of bones) + Necromancy, River = Trident of teleportation (extends from dagger) + Hydromancy, Daeryn = Quarterstaff, Jedah = Dual Scimitar, Drazoxath = Regular Balor weapons
