<span style="font-weight: bold">Concerning The Grey Hand,</span><br/><br/>A band of bounty hunters and trouble shooters, the band goes under a few different trade names depending on the city they are in and whether or not they're employer is part of the underworld. They specialize in bounty hunting and other types of trouble shooting, although they have accepted jobs ranging from smuggling to kidnapping in the past.<br/><br/>The Grey Hand came to Saramati in anticipation of the business opportunities surrounding the trade during the harvest season, but with trade so hampered the options for work were minimal. Saraphina came to an agreement with Marrok and Salana in order to pick up some mercenary work offered by the city.<br/><br/>The band was founded by, and is led by<span style="font-weight: bold">Saraphina, a tiefling warlock.</span><br/><br/>Saraphina is not necessarily the most talkative person, but her personality, and her words seem to have strength. She seems friendly and easygoing but can also be forceful and intimidating.<br/><br/>She stands about 5'10” and probably weighs in at 170 pounds. Though not heavily muscled, she doesn't appear overweight. Rather her bone structure lends her body to a heavy build. High cheekbones and a square jaw remind one of (though only through implication) a snake's jaw. Her skin is burgundy with an iridescent luster that makes it look purple or even blueish depending on the angle of light. If one were to closely inspect her skin they would see that this luster is due to a cover of fine scales. Her eyes appear like shifting purple clouds set in black orbs. Narrow horns curve past her temples and curl like a ram's in front of her pointed ears. Her hair is shoulder length, think, wavy, and colored a dark purple.<br/><br/>She is wearing a drab grey cloak over an ornate knee length dress that is split up both sides. She wears high leather boots and what appear to be thickly woven silk tights. Under the hood of her cloak she wears a smaller silken hood.<br/><br/><br/>Below is the current roster of the Grey Hand in order of time with the company.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sophia, Female Tiefling Ranger – Two Blade Warrior</span><br/><br/>Along with Yolanda and Saraphina she is one of the original members of the Grey Hand. Most of her professional life was spent as a slave trader and hired blade. Saraphina met her some time ago when building a team to capture a wealthy merchant who had defaulted on a large loan from a crime boss.<br/><br/>Sophia learned her trade in more urban environments than most rangers, as a result she is more focused on operating in an urban environment.<br/><br/>She is a well muscled woman standing around 5'10”. She has dark wavy hair, dark tanned skin and the characteristic burning eyes of the Tiefling.<br/><br/>From a lifetime of hunting humanoids she has developed an indifference towards the weak, viewing them as prey or merchandise.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Yolanda, Female Tiefling Rogue</span><br/><br/>A charming rogue, Yolanda has been with the Sophia and Saraphina since the beginning. She grew up stealing and conning her way out of suspicion and consequence.<br/><br/>Yolanda isn't the biggest or strongest woman, but her small hands are expert at picking locks or picking pockets and her small frame makes it that much easier to climb up the side or a wall.<br/><br/>She has a cute look to her that wards off suspicion. Her eyes are more human than tiefling, differing only in color (gold).<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Hector, Male Gnome Rogue</span><br/><br/>Hector was borne in the deeps of the underdark. Captured at a young age by Drow slavers, he escaped before ever reaching market. However, he was branded as a slave and could not easily leave the city he was in. He spent a great deal of time hiding in the foreigners ward, living between walls and stealing so as not to starve.<br/><br/>Eventually he payed a warlock to burn his shoulder with magic, obscuring his mark of slavery. After the wound had healed enough so that the guards would not think it was fresh, he bought travel out of the city and eventually found his way to the surface.<br/><br/>Saraphina and Sophia met Hector in a port side bar. Sophia had managed to spot him around town a few times and Saraphina thought he may be a useful contact in a new town.<br/><br/>As it turns out Hector is exceptionally paranoid owing to his youth spent in the underdark and especially his time spent with the Drow. Seeing how frequently the smaller races, and especially males were devoured left it's mark on him.<br/><br/>Though no coward, he does not engage  in combat often. His use is in his ability to find his way into places unseen.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Casandra, Female Tiefling Wizard</span><br/><br/>Casandra is a newer member of the Grey Hand. She was brought on for magical support and dealing with matters of Arcana beyond Saraphina's capabilities.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Anastasia, Female Elf Ranger – Archer</span><br/><br/>Anastasia grew up as a camp follower on the eastern continent. Somewhat estranged from the Elven people, she still feels as though she doesn't quite fit in with the creations of Centrius.<br/><br/>Having only been with the Grey Hand a year or so, Saraphina recruited her as to have a better wilderness tracker as well as a strong archer. So far she has shown to be loyal and effective.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Marcus, Male Half-Orc Fighter – Great Axe</span><br/><br/>The most resent recruit, only having been with the Grey Hand 6 months. Marcus was hired on as added muscle, mostly for the purpose of intimidation.<br/><br/>He seems somewhat stoic when not in action but when working he plays the role of physical threat perfectly.<br/><br/>Saraphina is quite happy with his performance so far.
