Speaking of Shadar-kai, I happen to have the Dragon Annual that features them and couldn't leave them out of a shadow themed group. To even better tie the character in with the theme, I gave Helfyn the vampiric heritage feat. I ended up with three vampires and four fey all together, one character is actually both.

I'd already made a chain fighter by the time I got to Helfyn and I wanted to steer away from that stereotype anyway, so I ended up making the character a glaive weilding Harrier Battlemind from Psionic Power. This class is absurdly mobile due to its emphasis on teleportation powers and that may lead to some folks thinking it's more of a striker than a defender. However, looking over the rest of its powers will make it apparent that the character is intended to control a section of the board. She can effectively manage two combatants while soaking up lots of damage and shaking off effects. The teleportation gimmicks add a fun bit of control and mobility, but it would be a mistake to focus on them too much.
