Notable Characteristics: Former member of the Ditrinity, Luke's adoptive brother and
Best friend.
Brief History: When he was young, Miles found himself to be a leader amongst the adolescents in a small town just outside of Diamide. With his father, Peter Scarsborough, being their unquestioned leader, attention and envy were things that Miles had become accustomed to. However, upon the arrival of a young boy named Mylo, Miles would soon find attention shifting away from him and towards this newcomer. After Peter adopted the boy, this fact was cemented.
Following the incident that lead to the beginning of the Relias Wars, Miles would soon discover that Mylo was the last surviving member of the Semprys lineage. This lead to the reformation of the Ditrinity and his unquestioning loyalty to Luke and the Ditrinity.
After playing a supporting role in the formation of the Union, Miles would later see his role in the Ditrinity expand upon its subversion and the consequential Durant Revolution. He would be captured at the Invasion of Elysium following the passage of the Durant Relocation Act and would serve a term at the Kreckis labor camp where he would die from disease and malnutrition.

Karlea Scarsborough- Wife
Trey Scarsborough- Son
Phoenix Scarsborough AKA Serenity Blake- Biological daughter
Phoenix Serenity Blake (Formerly Scarsborough)
Age: 18
Race: Half Durant, Half Human
Height: 5'10"
Hair: Dark Brown
Weight: 115 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Build: Slender, Athletic
Weapon of Choice: Momentum Bracers, Ballistics
Religious Affiliation: Duranism
Notable Characteristics: Named Phoenix by her father, while her mother insisted she be named Serenity, they compromised by making them her first and second names. Phoenix was, as her father said, a stronger, the name of a warrior in an emerging warrior culture. Her mother, though, rejected the escalating war between the Durants, Darks, and the Commune and wanted a more peaceful and feminine name. Over the years, Serenity emerged as the name most people used, while the name Phoenix is one only a few are aware of.
Brief History: Following the invasion of Elysium, one of the consequential events of the signing of the Durant Relocation Act, Karlea took Serenity, nine years old at the time, and left Miles and Trey who refused to abandon the war against the Commune. With Serenity in tow, Karlea fled to the northern most regions of Elvytica to the town of Demondrak, a place where the Commune had minimal presence. With the Durant Relocation Act and the Durant Revolution being nothing more than a passing conversation, a deeply depressed Karlea found love again with a man named Robert Blake. After several months of dating, the two were engaged and eventually married in 260 M.I. It wasn't long before the man's abusive nature emerged and there was a good amount of animosity that he directed towards Serenity. Serenity, however, kept mostly to herself and kept her mind firmly grounded in the world beyond Demondrak. Knowing that her father and brother were risking their lives fighting against the Commune while she lived in isolation, Serenity involved herself in a number of extra-curricular activities, all involving combat and self-defense. Eventually, after mastering nearly a dozen different methods of combat by the time she was sixteen, Serenity focused on mixed-martial arts, a form of combat she felt possessed an effective and brutal efficiency that she felt was necessary to combat the types of people she knew she'd eventually face. Not long after her sixteenth birthday, though, Karlea began suffering a series of hallucinations and severe headaches. After undergoing a series of tests, Karlea was informed of a cancerous tumor near her brainstem. Within months, despite aggressive treatment, Karlea passed just days before Serenity's 17th birthday. Within days, Serenity grabbed what few things she needed, ran away from home and set off to Brún where she was convinced she would be able to find direction to a Dark sleeper cell, operations which, following the Darks' defeat at Olsgrad, were scarce outside the borders of their stronghold in Praemon. However, it was in Brún where, entirely by chance, she fell into contact with Pontious Granlow and Vyvyr Syvyr, the two of them spending time in the city they considered their home to regain old alliances and rebuild the ranks of the Dark rebellion. With their information she made her way to Praemon and joined the Dark's ranks mere months before she would be recruited by Samuel Alighieri to take part in a high-priority, confidential operation known as Operation Rush.

Religious Affiliation: Agnostic
Notable Characteristics: intellectual prodigy
Brief History: Following what was intended to be an educational opportunity provided by his uncle, a Count of the United Commune, Pitt fell into the ranks of the Darks resistance following a hack job he did on their central intelligence. While maintaining his anonymity following the Commune's brining his activities to a grinding halt, Pitt had seen all he needed to gain a vehement distaste for the Commune. Being a strong advocate for the freedom of speech, Pitt put his talents at the disposal of the Darks and would become a leading mind in their cyber security division.
Seraphine Leyen
Age: 14
Race: Durant
Height: 5'6"
Hair: Blonde
Weight: 110 lbs.
Eyes: Green
Build: Thin
Weapon of Choice: None
Religious Affiliation: Duranism
Notable Characteristics: Possesses a Singularity, making her capable of removing the life from an individual through a telepathic connection.
Brief history: Since she was only a few years old, Seraphine has been a prominent figure within the Durant race. At the age of 4, Seraphine's Singularity manifested itself in a horrific and tragic way while her family was in hiding during the height of the Durant Relocation Act. When playing with her older brother, Seraphine's mind connected itself with his and, without any intention of doing so, killed him. While her brother's death was assumed to be a cardiac arrest uncharacteristic to a boy his age, further examination by Peter Scarsborough revealed her Singularity and its destructive nature. As a result, she was put through immediate Elemental training and, at her request, became one of the most skilled healers the Durants had ever seen.
The intentions of Darks leadership, however, was to discover a way to use her as a weapon. By honing her abilities, it was well within her abilities to go head to head with the largest Legionnaire Monolith and come out on top. However, due to the limited nature of her Singularity and its perceived inability to work on a br
oader scale, her potential as a weapon became an afterthought and, as she was one of the few surviving Durants to make it through the warp gates at Olsgrad Canyon, she became invaluable as a healer and served the role within the Darks resistance.
Samuel Alighieri
Formerly a member of the Ditrinity, Samuel Alighieri would relinquish his position and run for public office, at which point he would win the favor of the citizens of the Aliyan peninsula and be elected as Senator. Following the fall of the Union, Alighieri would become a prominent leader in the newly established Darks resistance where he would work his way into several leadership positions, eventually becoming second in command behind Luke Semprys. He would be promoted to the position of General as it was Luke's desire to fight on the ground at the battle of Olsgrad Canyon. Following Luke's capture, Alighieri would become leader of the crippled Darks resistance and consequently charged with its reconstruction.
Vladmir Frenz
Age: Unknown
Race: Durant
Height: 6'0"
Hair: Dirty Blond
Weight:185 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Build: Slender, muscular
Weapon of Choice: Elemental, twin cutlasses
Religious Affiliation: Purist
Notable Characteristics: Possessing a Singularity, giving him the ability to separate atoms from one another, giving him the appearance of wielding an invisible sword from the tips of his fingers.
Brief History: With appearances throughout many of history's major events, Vladmir Frenz has played a major role in shaping the modern world. And while he claims Purism, his actions keeping congruent with Purist principle as he has devoted himself to the destruction of the Semprys family and the Durant faith, he remains an enigma, his behavior oftentimes contradicting his claims. As such, his true intentions are ultimately unknown.
Thompson and Ranjak
Considered by many to be two of the most powerful Durants who ever lived, Thompson and Ranjak would make a name for themselves in the years that followed the Darks' defeat at Olsgrad Canyon. They would go on to be prominent leaders within the Darks resistance and a symbol of hope, defiance, and resilience against the tyrannical rule of the United Commune.
Ayla Reyrock
As a former member of the Ditrinity, Ayla would serve Luke for a number of years while engaging herself in a discreet but intimate relationship with a man outside the Ditrinity, Nathan Hendrick. A best friend to Sable (Sable's first friend following her mysterious appearance in the shallow rivers of Elysium), Ayla would eventually fall at the hands of Vladmir Frenz as the assigned body guard of Luke's wife, Trina.
A.J Merino
A higher ranking leader within the Enforcers, A.J Merino would ultimately achieve his status through the wealth of resources he had at his disposal, those resources being part of the remnants of his father's weapon's company, Warhammer Industries. His greatest asset would be his possession of a Ignata-powered Mysto class battlecruiser of which he was captain.
Reyzer Phanti
Being the founder of the original Darks resistance comprised of a devoted sect of the Durant orthodoxy, Reyzer Phanti would prove instrumental in the construction and establishment of Brysdal. With teleportation as his Singularity, Phanti would aid in the research and development of Durant high technology, most notably the Dimenisor, expensive and understandably complex devices commissioned as gifts to the Ditrinity to better serve their roles as the protectors of the Semprys family.
Henry Fawkes
Former owner of Syrvo Enterprises, Henry Fawkes would meet his demise in a violent car crash on a major Pyrian freeway. Though he was dead, his financial accounts would eventually be linked to the Dakuya and other illegal entities during the subversion of the Republican Union of Relias, a fact which would ultimately lead Luke Semprys to President of the Union Marcus Lynch, whom Luke felt to be Henry Fawkes.
As Luke's theory went, Marcus Lynch was, in fact, Henry Fawkes. In order to mask his involvement with Syrvo, Fawkes would fake his own death and assume the identity of a homeless man by the name of Marcus Lynch through a series of cosmetic procedures. And while Luke is convinced of this theory, it ultimately remains impossible to prove.
Francis Allred
Former general of the Communal Military, Allred would meet his demise at Darks' assault on Styne in 265 M.I. He would be succeeded by Vladmir Frenz.
Ruby Moriarty
Former acting CEO of Syrvo Enterprises and head of the Communal Weapons Division (CWD).
Historical Figures
Harland Kincaid (1287-1317 M.E.)
Having served as a sailor under the command of Captain Benedict Solago during the Eastland Migration, Kincaid became a prominent figure in the trans-Carpathic trade route based out of Valhalla. While beginning as an apprentice under Valhalla’s first mayor, George Murray , Harland Kincaid went on to form a fledgling shipping business which later expanded into the largest trade partner in Solara and Eastern Arctanica. One of the acts that he's best known for is the part he played in the introduction of the Stykler into the Arctanican wild, first with the intention of using these agile creatures as beasts-of-burden to expand his trade business and later as goods themselves, being sold for incredible profit to more affluent individuals. His business having transformed into the thriving trade empire it had become, Kincaid eventually disappeared at sea and was presumed dead. While the cause is unknown, many suspected that the ship had become trapped in one a dead zone (an area of supposed supernatural power where time had no meaning, a phenomena later dubbed a 'Decelerated Time Field' by young quantum physicist Malcolm Rowlings.) His shipping business would then be absorbed and headed by George Murray under an executive mandate he himself wrote into law.
George Murray (1251-1327 M.E.)
Mayor of Valhalla, assumed control of Harland Kincaid's shipping business, his ownership made possible through a law that he wrote himself which allowed the ranking political official in the region to assimilate a business should its owner disappear. This law would later lead to the murders of prominent business owners over the next several decades leading to a commercial empire ran by Murray himself. Upon Murray's death, his successor quickly abolished the law and put the companies up for sale, a move which saved western Solara from complete economic turmoil, the effects of which it had already been experiencing.
Ava Malyvyn (4000 Ae.E-Unknown)
Born circa 4000 Ae.E, Ava Malyvyn was an Autocthonid and the woman responsible for the creation of Randism. Having joined the group that migrated to Eastern Elvytica, Malyvyn was one of the strongest advocates for the drinking of blood. The negative reactions to this practice and the necessity for blood-drinking to survive drove Malyvyn to pen the doctrine that would later develop into Randism. This doctrine, containing the writings and teachings of Malyvyn, was known as the Gotha Vysta. Malyvyn would eventually become the leader of the theocracy that ruled the Vampire societies of Eastern Elvytica. She died sometime towards the turn of the millennium, and as the only record detailing her death is obviously distorted by legend and sensationalism, the cause of her death remains a mystery.
Carvello Corvice (502-561 M.E.)
At Farell Payne's request, Carvello Corvice, a renowned inventor of the time, set himself to work on developing a way to mass produce Payne's translation of the Gotha Vysta. This included the construction of a machine, the development of paper that could withstand the harsh process of printing, and the ink with which they could print that would not smudge or fade. The results of his efforts emerged in 535 M.E. when he revealed the Printing Mill and made the Gotha Vysta the first literary work to be mass produced. Corvice would be historically renowned for more than the creation of the Printing Mill but for the invention of mass communication.
Phillip Carver (1370-1445 M.E.)
Born in 1370 M.E, Carver is the only man to explore the Aliyan Isles, make a record of them, and return to the mainland alive. He is the author of the definitive record of the Aliyan Isles,
Transcendence and the Enigma of the Aliyan Isles. Due to Carver's role in their discovery and exploration, Sirens established a small population on the shores of the Gulf of Aliya. This population would later expand and disperse across Havok. Without Carver, the existence of Sirens would be unknown.
Ayker Blacktree (725-903 M.E.)
Leader of the Arctanican Conquest
Charles Bannick (1465-1551 M.E.)
As the need for resources during Pyre's initial development reached a crisis, Charles Bannick lead a small expeditionary force out of the Selsnik Basin, home to the Pyrian settlement, and to the Byfayne Mountains where he would be instrumental in the establishment of Praemon at the Byfayne Crossroads.
Gregory Hollice (227 M.I.-Present)
A subsidiary to Dr. Malcolm Rowlings during the Furian Renaissance. Taken immediately from a Pyrian graduate school, Hollice was instrumental in the development of mobile Furo Reactors, being a lead designer of the Ignata reactor and its successor, the Helio reactor.
