Name: Asa’yid (african lion)"Known by men as : Krix Asa’yid, Asa'Yid, The First Born, The Light"
It is said by the wise ones that when mankind was in it's infancy wallowing in it's first ignorance that the Asa'yid descended from the sky and took the form of a lion man to lead mankind. Asa'yid taught men that his spirit was tasked with guiding men towards wisdom, peace and prosperity with his claw...or destroying wickedness with his sword. Krix is a master of all swords and is especially fond of the "enlightened weapons" given to him by Guwrah The Strong to aid in his conquest. With the speed, agility and power of a Lion, the ferocity of the mightiest beasts, keen intellect and unmatched physical combat skills Krix Asa'Yid is determined to bring all that oppose his will and that of the Ancients into the Light no matter the cost.

"You say YOU are the masters of Earth now? You lie. Unwittingly I suspect, which would make you ignorant. You are meat. Tools to be used for a greater good. Embrace that truth so that your actions are pure and you can harness your ki in service of those that gave us life. Or don’t. It doesn’t matter to me. Impede my path and you will die either way."

"It has been said that there is nothing more frightening than being trapped in the desert during a sand storm. The millions of swirling grains of sand are abrasive and cut open the flesh. The onslaught of razor sharp wind blinds one to the correct path ahead. The weight of the sand as it buries you is oppressive and stifles all resistance until your spirit is swallowed whole. What is true of the sand storm is true of Bal Kharn save one...
the sand storm bestows mercy on some. " - the words of a refugee from the north
Name: Cahriv (emperor scorpion)"Known by men as: Dong Cahriv, Mosiba Lel"
Cahriv is fear. He has no regard for life and considers its elimination one of the few joys that he can experience. There is a desire for death and destruction so strong and vibrant within Cahriv that it seems to radiate from his very being shimmering upon his armor and claws. If Krix Asa'Yid is The Light then Mosiba Lel is The Darkness. Preferring to wage war at night, he is the source of many legends and primal fear of evil that lurks in the dark. With the loss of his original right eyes, his twisted nature has become even more psychotic.
"It is rumored that there is nothing he will not consume when hungry."
Name: Gaamik (african rhinoceros)"Known by men as: Gaamik Khatil"

A mercenary at heart, he is always scheming towards greater power and wealth. Where Kharn is single minded and powerful, Gaamik uses cunning and treachery to achieve his goals.

Cerula is a myth, a bogeyman that the Brasilian mothers tell to their children when they are bad. Obey or Escorpio Bahia will come to take you away. He will sneak into your window at night and sting you with his tail. The reality is that Cerula prefers to be alone and does not actively seek out conflict. Is he good or evil?

Name: Khabasat (thorny lizard)"No one is born evil. No one.
…then how do you explain him?..."
No one has pierced the veil that is Khabasat . While extreme in battle, to the point of instilling fear in his battle brothers, he is equally terse in speech. When he does speak, the words are usually cryptic and dripping with venom. His strength belies his frame. It is rumored that Khabasat enjoys instilling fear, crushing the knees of his foes and retreating to the shadows & peering at their painful struggle.

As I shall make them."
