Armas Laine
| Mercenary Company Leader, Alive
|
|
Appearance: Armas is six feet, four inches tall and approximately 114 kg in mass. He has a prominent conan chin, olive skin (Fitzpatrick type IV), blue eyes, dark rust-colored hair. He's very muscular and fit looking.
Description: It is an imperfectly kept secret that Armas is a godling, a divine being on the road to potentially becoming a full fledged god. Armas favors flashy clothing. Early in his mercenary career he often used layered ballistic armor, using both low-profile armored clothing and military-grade supplemental armor. While he still uses armor on occasion, he is far more likely to pick his clothes for mobility and appearance than protection.
Rank: Commander (OF-3)
Background: Armas was born in San Diego, California to a Maori-American mother and Finnish father. He was a poor student. Upon graduation from high school, Armas enlisted in the Marines and graduated from boot camp at Camp Pendelton shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center towers in 2001. He spent the next decade in both the Marines and Army Rangers, before mustering out and traveling to Istanbul. He never advanced beyond the rank of Private in the course of nine years in the military.
Strengths: Trained in Stealth by the Wyld Goblins, notably excellent at manipulating people, Divine Imperial Winter bloodline based around soul manipulation and auto-resurrection, Divine Summer bloodline based around internal cannibal fleshcrafting and thunder, current owner of Amen, favored by the Ruling Dragon of Turkey
Weaknesses:

Appearance: Camella has straw blond hair, blue eyes, and frame that can safely be described as athletic. The majority of her left leg is a magic construct with a much darker skin color than her own.
Description: A Slider from a lower magic world, Camella has spent the past four months adjusting to life in Istanbul.
Rank: Second in Command (OF-2)
Background: Former member of the 9th Parachute Assault Regiment, Camella arrived in the bones of the earth below Istanbul on November 8th, 2010. She spent a week fighting her way out and arrived in the alley behind Armas's apartment exhausted and badly wounded. In an attack against Blackbeard she lost her leg, although she has received a new one from Wizard Khubiliai.
Strengths: Camella has no bloodline power, but is instead a once-in-a-generation example of a peak ability human, with near-perfect equilibrioception and proprioception. She has a soul quirk which grants her 108 eye-like sensors. Her excellent military training and natural ability allow her to excel in both the use of firearms and melee combat.
Weaknesses:
Equipment: A ritual blood charm which heals up to 12 non-fatal injuries on the wearer, a magic Walther WA 2000 once owned by Neonazis, and a pair of magic axes acquired through the Triad.

Rank:
Background: Duke's actual name is Li Kui, and he is also known as "Iron Ox" or "Black Whirlwind." One of the legendary 108 Heavenly Spirits from the Great Chinese Classic Novel, "Water Margin." Duke was assigned to protect a "Dreamer" in the Amazon by Song Jiang (his former leader in "Water Margin") to keep Duke from making trouble seeking revenge for Song's death. After Armas killed the Dreamer, he talked Duke into coming home with him, where Duke drank literally hundreds of millions of dollars worth of magic wine, alcohol, and drugs from the stocks Florent Smets acquired. Armas later successfully talked Owner, the Ruling Dragon of Turkey, into sparing Duke's life.

Neo-Nazis
Third Reich remnants who have coalesced into a Neo-Nazi movement, complete with Nazi super-soldiers (non-magical but very formidable), well-trained gang members, supernatural experiments and and supernatural contacts. The organization seems to be led by Otto Skorzeny with its Istanbul branch led by Endman (a hivemind spread out over multiple human bodies).

Klaus 'Alder' Barbie
| Neo-Nazi Officer, Dead

|
Appearance: An old man
Description: An expert in counter-guerrilla warfare and interrogation techniques, Barbie was most famous for his role in the pacification and terrorism of Occupied France during WW2.
Rank: SS-Hauptsturmführer (OF-2), Unknown rank in the Neo-Nazis
Background: An intellectual turned Nazi in 1933, Barbie joined the special security branch service of the SS in 1935 and rose through the ranks to become the infamous Butcher of Lyon. Over the course of his wartime career he was personally responsible for the torture and murder of an estimated 14,000 prisoners. After the war he worked for the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps, and fled to Bolvia. In 1965 he was recruited by the West German foreign intelligence agency Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) where he was given his codename 'Alder'. While working in Boliva he helped the CIA capture Che Guevara in 1967. In 1980 he helped the dictator García Meza rise to power in Bolvia, and when the dictatorship fell in 1983 was subsequently extradited to France to answer for his WW2 crimes. Found guilty by the French justice system and sentenced to life in prison, the Neo-Nazis made contact with him and helped orchestrate his escape from prison in 1991. With his enlistment as one of the key members of the Neo-Nazi faction, Barbie lent legitimacy to a relatively young organization. The Alder met his end at Armas Laine's hands above a German bakery in Istanbul in 2010.
