=== Lakkar ===

Lakkar was born in a Prussel hamlet and raised to be a hunter like his father. He wasn't bad at it, but he never felt that it was meant for him. His disrespect of the elders and cocky attitude earned him the nickname "Loudmouth." When he was old enough to strike out on his own he traveled the land bartering hides and food from animals he hunted and peddling the goods he received in return. Eventually he made his way to Broadfalls and took work with the Kolanos family. He started by brining in hides they would tan and eventually turn into leather garments. Soon he was promoted to a taskmaster within their organization and grew to become a trusted employee. One day he met the Princess when she came to purchase a fine fur cloak. He fell in love at first sight, but she made it clear that she would never even consider a barbarian like him. Still, his hopes would not be dashed. His experiences in Broadfalls have led him to believe that his people must embrace the civilization of the Empire, especially if they wish to survive the marauding orcs on the border. He is prepared to do what it takes to ensure peaceful annexation of the Prussel.

=== Amalof ===

Born in a small village near the border, Amalof was inexplicably driven to a life of worship. He studied under the priests, but did not find the wholeness of self he seemed to be searching for. It wasn’t until a priest of Holy Spirit paid visit to the village that he realized this foreigner had the answer, had the piece of the young boy that was missing.

He followed the man, Tiberius, acting as his announcer and studying under him for a time. It was this fervent devotion that impressed the priest enough to nominate Amalof to study in the Church. Broadfalls was a wonder to the boy, proof that God anoints the foreigners with power. He took well to his teaching, but he grew restive as he realized he must deliver the message to his former kin. 

Amalof joined the military, knowing his would never rise in its ranks, but wishing to travel back to his old haunts and deliver them the Light he had found. Unfortunately, no one wished to be lectured by a soldier. Worse, his fellow men laughed at his fumbling with the barbarians. 

Returning to Broadfalls, he finished his education and left for home again. There, he has begun to gather smallfolk under his tutelage and confront the men and women who resist change, who resist the Light of God.
