Oui, l'administrateur a répondu. "Vous rencontrerez le reste de la compagnie, ainsi que quelques gardes engagés, à la ville frontalière de Gurrivo. Essayez de garder vos indicateurs officiels cachés là-bas. Les gens ne sont pas très contents de nous en ce moment, vu que nous les avons récemment pris de Zitera. »

"Chef! Chef!" Il cria un jeune guerrier Dahote en chargeant à travers l'épais sous-bois vers le village. Il a failli s'écraser dans un autre alors qu'il courait désespérément pour le village.
"Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas?" a demandé à l'autre, un peu désorienté.
Dites au chef qu'il y a des hommes sur nos terres! Peut-être des envahisseurs! Dépêchez-vous!" Ils ont couru chercher la cabane du chef. Ils ont couru jusqu'au rabat en cuir qui a agi comme une porte et est passé directement par un FLAP retentissant. L'information était beaucoup trop importante pour laisser une porte les arrêter. Par des mots hâtifs et des gestes extravagants, ils ont réussi à faire passer le message.
"Hmm. C'est ce que j'ai dit. ." Le chef Megedagik s'est moqué de lui-même. "Choisissez-moi mon fils. Immédiatement."
Name: Faile Ti Bashere
Age: 25
Allegiance: Lone Mercenary
Primary Weapon: Leon Todmeister's Fantabulously Far-reaching Rifle of Unforeseeable and Unperceived Bereavement.
Custom made Rifle (so called because of the groves cut into the barrel to make the lead spin in flight for greater penetration and accuracy, called 'Rifling' by the creator, a germanic inventor called Leon Todmeister) to take advantage of Faile's heritage, the weapon is unique in all the world, and quite possibly ranks as one of the best long-barreled firearms within said world.
It has no scope - Faile needs no scope to take advantage of the rifle - but is single shot, and so needs reloading after every fire. Falie can make up to four shots a minute, in good conditions.
Melee: Leon Todmeister's Amazing Knuckle Covering Knife of Swift Disenboweling
Weapon also made by Leon Todmeister, this has the handle of the knife with four holes in it, so the user can slot their fingers into it, and punch someone as easily as attacking them with with blade part.
Background:
Falie Ti Bashere was born to her mother, Eloviana Ti Bashere, who never knew the girl's father, or claimed to never know him at least. She would not tell young Faile anything about him, or explain why her eyes looked dodgy, with the irises more slit than circle. However, one day when she was young, Falie was accosted by a strange, old Indian woman, the kinda Falie's mother told her to avoid, since they always wanted something from you. But this woman simply stared into her eyes, and then proclaimed - in very fractured English - that she was the 'Daughter of the Eagle' referrring to the Animal Gods that the Indians worshipped. The encounter left Faile confused and she initially rejected the woman's proclamation, running home to her mother and shutting the door behind her. When Eloviana came out to see what had gotten Falie so upset, she told her about the encounter with the Indian woman. Much to Falie's surprise, Eloviana suddenly clutched Falie into her rather considerable bosom, and revealed that she had been lying to the girl. Eloviana did remember who had gotten her pregnant, but did not think anyone would believe her.
She told Falie about a carriage she was one on, going though the desert, and got attacked by bandits, who shot several of the people, killed the horses, and made off with all the valubles. Eloviana was the only woman to survive the night, as the rest had been wounded and died in their sleep, so when she awoke, she was all alone in the middle of a desert. And then, a tall, red skinned man came out of the mirage in the desert. At first, Eloviana thought it was just a hallucination, but the man got to her, and picked the woman up. He had barely a loincloth covering him, and his body was strong and muscular, but the most striking aspect was his eyes, they where slit and a strange, orange colour. He did not say anything, but simply held out his hand to Eloviana, an offer she took. The man then led her though a few miles of desert, constructing a head-wrap from the remains of her dress when she began to sweat profusely. Then, after they covered the distance, the Eagle-Man had led her to an oasis. The resulting night, was when Falie was made, but the man was gone in the morning, when a trading caravan had stopped by to refill their water supply. Eloviana caught a ride to the nearest city and from there found a job and eventually had Faile. Faile was shocked to hear that she had been born of some desert appearing man-eagle, but it made more sense. Why her eyes where slit, why she could pick out wood-grains in beams. A few years later, when she grew of age, a bounty hunter group had heard of her and her miraculous eyesight, and come around, offering training and a steady job hunting the ruffians of the world. With her mother's story at heart, Falie took off with the men and women, to start her new life, and support her ailing mother.
Falie took up the art of the Musket rather quickly, but it was soon found out her eyesight out ranged most muskets, causing her to over-shoot the target, and miss occasionally. Falie trained with the musket for many hours every day until she could accurately point the edge of the musket's range, this assisted in her making more accurate shots and she quickly became known for her sharp eye. With an amassing fortune, even with sending a portion of her bounties and pay to her mother, Emily sort out the Germanic genius - eccentric, borderline insane by most people's reckoning, so he didn't do much business - Leon Todmeister, and with him at the helm, wrought a beautiful new musket, called a rifle by the inventor. The full name of 'Leon Todmeister's Fantabulously Far-reaching Rifle of Unforeseeable and Unperceived Bereavement.' was a bit much for Falie, and she could see why people thought he was a bit nuts, but the rifle was a marvel, and far out-ranged any other rifle in the Hunter group. For providing him with the 'inspiration' to go on, and giving him a lot of money to create the rifle, Leon made Falie a second weapon, called 'Leon Todmeister's Amazing Knuckle Covering Knife of Swift Disenboweling'. Faile decided to call it a 'Punch Knife' because the metal covering the fingers and would hit harder than flesh alone, while most knife handles where covered by the hand. With her pockets lightened and her new, Eagle-Eye friendly rifle ready, Faile was ready to set off into a new chapter of her bounty hunting, killing or wounding men from more paces away then they could see, and shattering their spirit. But, the leader of the camp was found dead in his tent one day, and the camp felt as if it was going to tear itself apart with suspicion, so Falie took her weapons and set out on her own, not wanting to be in the middle of the fight when it came to a head.
