A powerful necromancer, Taekhesis Rhayne is the prestigious, and sometimes mad, guild leader of the Covenant of Mourn. Calm and collected, yet subtle, scheming and (sometimes) drunk, Taekhesis has lead the Guild to further aspirations of glory by enlisting to aid Ascalon in the fight against the Charr. Orginating from the now destroyed land of Orr, some have said that she may be using the mobilisation of the guild as a cover up for a vengeance-fueled search for the destroyer of her homeland...
A legendary Dervish hailing from the southern reaches of the Crystal Desert, there are few who have crossed his path and failed to carry that memory with them. Enemies fear his name, and friends speak of him in reverance. His devotion to the guild is second only to his devotion to the multi-faceted twin Goddess of illusion, Lyssa. His motives are his own, his prowess with his scythe, and skill in magic is only rivalled by his massive ego.
Priest of Mourn, a monk hailing from Tyria who has been with the Covenant of Mourn since the start. Calm, insightful and intelligent, Priest is a valuable asset to the guild not only because of his adept healing skill, but also for his ability to keep everyone together. His healing abilities are on par with Taekhesis' ability with corpses, although considerably less gruesome...
A Ritualist who often plays the fool, but harbors an intense knowledge of combat that is sometimes attributed to the spirits of deceased military generals that only Shikamaru can converse with. This leads to many people believing that Shikamaru either flukes any tactic he creates, or is just plain mad. A teacher and former student of the Shing Jea Monestary, Shikamaru's bond with the Spirits of the world is so powerful that he is often caught standing still, blind eyes seeking out the unseen. For all that; his blindfolded eyes can see nothing, although his accuracy with weapons of any calling remains devastating.
A headstrong warrior of amazing power yet lacking a touch of tact, Farum has become one of Taekhesis' companions since he was chosen to represent Ascalon in the fight against the Charr invasion. Originally from Ascalon, he considers himself to blame for the Searing that destroyed his beloved homeland. On a quest to atone for the burden he believes he set upon Ascalon, Farum has become entwined in the series of events that are unfolding across the entire continent of Tyria...
