Biographical Data:

Captain Marcus Weathers is the commander of the Red Guard, the elite soldier unit responsible for the defense and protection of the city of Orpheus. Unmarried, he is dedicated to his duty. Known for being an exceptional military commander he prefers to lead from the front and by example. As a young stag he impressed his commanding officers and was chosen for his current post due to his meritorious conduct during several different military campaigns.

His preferred weapon of choice is a sword which he always carries with him even when not on duty. Considered by his men to be somewhat overly serious he is always ready to carry out the orders of his government.

Personal Statement:

"My name is Captain Marcus Weathers. For years I stood guard over the city of Orpheus protecting it from any that might threaten its well being. One day we began seeing these creatures made out of shadow and light. We didn't know what they were or what they wanted. At first they seemed as ghosts, insubstantial and unable to do any harm. The more time passed, the more they acted as if they were in a rage about something. The first time I heard one scream, my blood ran cold.

One night the beasts attacked one of our citizens. My men sprung into action in response. I lost four of them that night. Our weapons passed right through the beasts. It seemed as if nothing we had either physical or otherwise would do them damage. They, however, were perfectly capable of killing us on contact. Walls meant nothing to them nor did any sort of physical barrier. We warned the civilian population not to go out at night though it was little more than a stopgap measure meant to reassure the public against a threat we could not stop. It did nothing to protect them, but neither could we.

We did not know why they came or what they wanted. All we knew was they came only at night and only to kill whoever they found. Despite our best efforts to learn what they wanted they continued to attack and kill us one by one.

As time went on, the attacks increased in both frequency and ferocity. It was sometime after this had begun that we learned the appearance of these creatures had been precipitated by the mysterious appearance of a woman. A female Doberman pinscher emerged from a mysterious portal some claimed was the way to Aldris. I doubted the legends but the fact remained this was perhaps our only clue as to what had occurred around that time to disturb whatever realm these creatures called home.

There had been no witnesses but rumors persisted. As such given we had no other theories I was ordered to find this woman and bring her in. Our first encounter with her was disastrous and she ran from our presence. We have no choice but to bring her in by any means possible. She may hold the key to our survival. The only problem is, now she is on the run and traveling with two merchants who are sheltering her.

I would have preferred we could have done this differently. I am left with no options but to bring her before my governor without exception. I can only pray the actions I must take may one day be forgiven."
