Halrenen Huron is a ninth generation member of the Order of the Embers. Born into the organization, he spent his entire life being indoctrinated by the Order of the Embers, and he committed his life to the cause whole heartedly. When the time finally came to ascend to the ranks of the Archons, the leaders of the Order of the Embers, Halrenen was one of the first choices.

Appearance

Halrenen is roughly average height, standing just above six feet in height. He leans towards lean features, and is built modestly across the chest and shoulders. His fingers are slightly too long for his frame, made more noticeable by the burned remains of his left hands pinky finger, the mark of one becoming an Archon within the Order of the Embers. He leans towards having hawkish, sharp features, with his nose being very pointed, and his cheekbones highly defined and visible. He has dark black hair with just a few traces of gray starting to mingle with the rest, and light green eyes with flecks of silver scattered throughout. He tends top wear the customary all black clothing of the Order of the Flame, though rather than the customary robes of his ancestors, he tends to wear well fitted vests and pants.

Skills and Abilities

Like all members of the Order of the Embers, Halrenen has a good grasp on dueling skills, a talent honed in mock fights between members of the Order and the Tal'okra, the Orc warriors dedicated to the Order. Far from a prodigy among his peers, Halrenen is more than able to hold his own in a fight, though he prefers not to engage in such direct methods if at all possible. His greatest skills lie in his mind, finely honed though years of study and testing by the Archons of the Order of the Embers. Deductive reasoning and careful planning are the hallmarks of Halrenen's schemes, and it is to him that the responsibility of planning the Order of the Embers future has fallen. More recently, he has begun to delve into the realm of magic, and has become a self taught user so that he can better find ways to counter magic and magic users in the future.

Personality

Halrenen Huron is a reserved, soft spoken individual. While not as forward and direct as some of his peers, Halrenen has a directness and ferocity of purpose that all who know him respect, and even fear. When he sets his mind to a goal, he will not hesitate to do whatever it takes, no matter how unpleasant, to achieve this goal, and will deal with the consequences after. Halrenen has a detachment from his emotions he had developed over the decades of his life, and while he regrets to distance this puts between him and others, he deems it a necessary sacrifice for the furtherment of the Order of the Embers goals. With those he considers friends, Halrenen is known to have a sarcastic streak, and he takes great care in planning out jokes to tell to others well in advance of any potential conversation.

Biography & Lore

Early Life
Halrenen Huron was born in the Ashen Keep, the ancient home and fortress of the Order of the Embers located in the far north of The Spine. Located near the Gulf of Ryt, Halrenen spent much of his early childhood in the water, enjoying swimming activities with those his age, all under the watchful gaze of the Tal'okra warriors. Built in the shadows of the mythical city of Thiria, the Ashen Keep served as the safe haven and home for the Order of the Embers and all those who shared their goals.

On his fifth birthday, Halrenen was inducted formally into the Order of the Embers as a junior member, and at that point his life became one of duty and obligation. Education was drilled into him by the Archons of the Order, those with access to the Vault of History, the massive cavern sized library the Order of the Embers guards jealously. He was taught combat skills by the Tal'okra Hunters, the best warriors the Orc tribes loyal to the Order of the Ember had. He learned of the world in the caravans sent out regularly to secure food and other supplies for the Ashen Keep, and saw much of the Spine by the time he was twelve years old. At that point, he was allowed to choose his path within the Order of the Embers.

He chose to apprentice for five years with the Wardens of the Flame, the specialized anti-magic warriors within the Order of the Embers. Under their guidance he learned the tactics the Knights of the Flame used to fight magic users, the weapons and tools in their arsenal, and their methodology for doing what they did. At the end of his apprenticeship, he was taken on a magic raid along with several Wardens.

The Ashen Keep governed over a collection of human villages located around the Spine, along the coast of the Gulf of Ryt. While not directly ruling them, the Order of the Embers exerted its influence through providing the villages with medical aid and protection from roving pirates and brigands. One of the laws the Order of the Embers imposed on those villages was the outlawing of magic, and the banishment of wild magic users. The Wardens were charged with enforcing these rules, and rumors of magic users brought down their ire on individual homes across the region. Magic raids were launched by the Wardens of the Flame when gathering of magic users were discovered. An affront to everything the Order of the Embers embodies, the Wardens take special care to eliminate such gatherings. Halrenen took his first life in that raid, an assault to eradicate necromancers that had wandered into the Orders territory. That day ingrained in him the true loyalty to the Order of the Embers cause to eliminate magic from the world.

When he returned to the Ashen Keep, his set his sights on becoming an Archon of the Order of the Embers, the leading figures of the organization. He spent the next decade of his life in this pursuit, and when he eventually achieved the position he had sought, he became one of the youngest members of the Order of the Embers to ever achieve the position. Now, Halrenen has taken a true leading position within the Order of the Embers, and begun a program to take a far more active role in the world at large.
