His official rank is Sergeant. His unofficial Rank is Captain.

While often and object of scorn or pity, Gandis has many strong admirers including Prince Benedict, Prince Gerard, King Corwin, Prince Julian, Princess Fiona, Princess Flora, and Dworkin himself. He is considered a legend and is often found among recent promotees to the Elites. He is a frequent presence, if not officially an instructor at Nasty Place.

Currently assigned to Protective Services for Lord Relmopator Barimen, Son of Satura. It is unclear if this is a prank on Realmer or a punishment for Gandis.

Active

A talkative and flirtatious member of the Urien Pack, she is also a nearly constant Lady in Waiting to the Queen. Officially its known that she requested From Prince Benedict to be trained to act as a last ditch defence of the queen. Her request was taken as a joke by the military and especially by the Elites. Benedict however took her serious. He took her into shadow privately. When she returned she was sequestered in the Urien Estates for several months. Then she returned as Vialle Lady in Waiting, acting as she always has. However, she now carries a small pattern blade strapped to her thigh.

She applied to the Amber military and was accepted.

She is young for an Elite. Just over 30 years of age,(Not counting her tenure at Nasty Place), including her youth in Dreana, her elevation to the Elites is controversial. Service to a member of the Royal Family not known for dangerous behavior is seen as a cautious step in her career.

She is notable for an encounter while on duty in Calrabon, where she was assaulted by a giant red bear and managed to slay it. Seriously wounded, she recovered at Vulsar Base. A noble family of Calrabon who were endangered by the bear she slew presented her with a fine bear cloak enchanted for comfort regardless of temperature.

His career as a mixed martial artist had been brutal with more loses then victories but with a determination to improve. He was well liked even by those that defeated him. He had a gambling problem and was trying to raise funds to settle debts in a dangerous collection of problems when he saved the king's life. Upon his return, after much training, he resumed some parts of his life in New Velri, cleared all his debts, and returned to a victorious career in the MMA circuit while serving regularly as a dedicated Card Game guard.
