Marth Campaign Chapter 3

• Lelien Shin
  Emperor of the Lelien Empire, a poised strategist who wears duty like lacquered armor. Navigates court rivalries and foreign threats with the patience of one trimming a bonsai. Underestimates the creeping power of the Beekeeper’s agents — for now.
• Lelien Dogan Defne
  The emperor’s wife, a brilliant scholar from Rihsama who cements the alliance between their nations. Her mind is a jeweled labyrinth; she speaks softly, yet shapes policy with deft, subtle hands. Harbors quiet fears about the empire’s relentless expansion into lands where old powers linger.
• Old Gin
  Once a humble fisherman of Lin Province, content with river nets and quiet kindness. Welcomed into The House of Blades, where Cinderwake chose his steadfast heart. Now carries the weight of sacrifice in calloused hands, a simple man bearing fire meant to shield others from ruin.
• Shen Dai
  A renowned duelist and honored head of the Shen family line. General of the forces of the Lelien Empire. Wears grief and pride intertwined, ever haunted by the question of whether his legacy will endure.
• Skarn Threagar
  A Frost Giant warlord of Arya, drawn into southern conflicts by Dravis’ careful manipulations. Views these entanglements with wary pragmatism — never eager to be anyone’s pawn. Holds a grudging respect for cunning, even if it stinks of mortal schemes.
• Tang He Jia
  The Broker’s daughter, whose beauty and gentle poise hid a cold, calculating hunger for power. She sees affection only as leverage. Met her end consumed by her own schemes, leaving behind nothing but whispered cautions of trusting a charming smile.
• The Broker
  Once the trusted village Elder of Red Hollow, in truth a rogue agent of The Undying. Manipulated mining contracts to fund hidden pursuits, poisoning rivers and drawing dark spirits. Always smiling, always slipping away — until finally unmasked and driven into exile.
• Zhao Yanmei
  A gifted student of Rotag Kho, proudly announced as his protégé during tournaments. Tests the mettle of rivals, sending whispers of their strength back to her master. Sees every contest as a chance to perfect her art.
