Knights
Isabel	Suzerain	Hero contributes 250 gold pieces in kingdom treasury per day. Hero has a 2% per level discount for troop training in Haven towns.
Only child of the ruling family of the Greyhound Duchy, Isabel was brought up in isolation surrounded by nannies and servants. Now that war has come, the young Queen feels driven to go to the aid of the Empire. Dedicated to her goals, Isabel exploits the few things she has - her wealth and nobility - without hesitation.
Godric	Paragon Knight	The effect of Benediction increases as hero gains new levels. Mana used for casting Light Magic spells are reduced by 1.
Godric is rightfully upheld as a model knight and sterling example of chivalric ideals. Demanding the highest standards of courage and integrity from both himself and his followers, Godric commands respect wherever he goes. Troops under his banner trust him without question, as his history of great deeds and his favor in Elrath's eye convince them that his mere presence upon the battlefield can guarantee victory.
Freyda	Windrider	The effect of Haste spell is increased by 1% for every hero level.
"Strike like lightning" is Freyda's motto. During her years as a student at the Imperial College of Strategy she often surprised her instructors with daring solutions based on forced marches, surprise attacks and rapid outflanking. At heart, Freyda is always impatient for the next battle to try some new twist on her favorite tactics. Though some murmured that she was promoted because she is Godric's daughter, a string of victories and exemplary leadership have silenced even the most cynical critics.
Nicolai	Infantry Commander	All Footmen and Squires in hero's army gain +1 to their attack and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level.
Nicolai is the king of The Holy Griffin Empire.
Maeve
Brilliant but embattled, Maeve is a dedicated ruler working desperately to pull a doomed empire out of its downward spiral. Trying to salvage a future for the fragmenting Falcon Empire while fighting off a Demon invasion, Maeve has nothing to rely on but her own dedication to the ideals of chivalry and her unswerving faith in the worship of the Dragon of Light.
Rutger	Pathfinder	Hero's movement points are increased by 1% per every two hero level.
Rutger was mostly known as a vagabond, free spirit, and traveler before the call to arms brought him into the ranks of the Griffin Empire's Wolf Duchy. Using the knowledge gained during his more carefree years, Rutger exploits every path, trail, and shortcut to speed his troops from battle to battle. The sooner he finishes the war, the sooner he can return to the roads that still seem to call his name.
Vittorio	Siege Engineer	Ballistae receive +1 to their attack for every level of hero. Catapult's chance to hit the wall is increased by 2% for every hero level.
A veteran of many skirmishes with the tumultuous Free Cities along the Griffin Empire's southeastern border, Vittorio is an expert in the art of the siege. He has spent years perfecting both the design and use of siege engines, firmly believing that countless Griffin lives can be saved by improving their battlefield technologies. Though his radical designs sometimes create unexpected surprises for the teams that first test them, it is agreed that his equipment is second to none.
Ellaine	Beloved of the People	All Peasants and Conscripts in hero's army gain +1 to their attack and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level. Also, all Peasants earn another +1 gold piece in kingdom treasury every day, in addition to their Tax Payer ability.
Ellaine served honorably in the Imperial army during the War of the Eclipse and then returned to manage her family's estates in a wise, compassionate, and just manner. Though it had been poorly kept her steady hand yielded fruit: the manor grew and prospered. Now that Ellaine is back at war, the peasants remember her good deeds and show miracles of bravery at the battlefields under her command.
Laszlo	Infantry Commander	All Footmen and Squires in hero's army gain +1 to their attack and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level.
Fighting his way up from a lowly birth with a certain grim resolve, the ordeals that Laszlo has endured have hardened his heart. Covered with scars, stern and ruthless, he hews his way into the enemy ranks like a force of nature. The "kings of battlefield", as he proudly names his infantry, have little choice but to follow their commander, causing - often involuntarily - extraordinary feats of bravery.
Dougal	Archer Commander	All Archers and Marksmen in hero's army gain +1 to their attack and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level.
As dedicated as his comrades to the glory of the Griffin Empire, Dougal's loyalty is balanced with a strong dose of pragmatism. Believing that the best enemy is one that is dead before he can lay a hand on a Griffin soldier, Dougal has specialized for many years in the training and equipping of archers. The shooters return his faith, believing that little can endanger them while Dougal is in command.
Klaus	Cavalry Commander	Cavaliers and Paladins in hero's army get additional jousting bonus as hero gains new levels. Hero's "Retaliation Strike" ability is more powerful.
Rigorously trained but coming from a poor noble family in a backwater of the Griffin Empire, Klaus might have remained unknown if luck had not smiled upon him. Thrust into the most difficult level of a jousting tournament through a simple accident of misfiled parchment, he stunned the crowds by unseating some of the greatest names of the Empire. Since that day, his feats have earned him the devotion of all mounted warriors.
Irina	Griffin Trainer	All Griffins and Imperial Griffins in hero's army gain +1 to their attack and defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level. Griffins get Battle Dive Ability.
Irina's earliest memories are of griffins, as she was born into a respected family of griffherders. She grew up knowing the ins and outs of those proud and dangerous beasts, and when called to war for the Empire she readily brought her gifts to bear where she could do the most good. Irina ensures that the griffins that fight by her side are exceptionally healthy and respond well to commands.
Giar
"Quickness is everything at war,- Giar is sure.- The first to attack - the first to win". Thats why he pays much attention to cavalry which is the main trump in the battle as he thinks.
Glen
Vittorios' brother Glen always tried to be like his famous relative. And when Vittorio was considered to be the best specialist in War machines Glen decided not to stay behind but with some time to complete with his brother and moreover - to improve his echievements.
