Well Drake isn't very happy with Gwyn, seeing as his men were killed when Gwyn linked the flame and gave them no warning of what would occur. Nsane still protects Gwyn and while Drake isn't out to kill Gwyn, at this moment anyway, he still holds a bit of a grudge.

Yea but I don't think Gwyn even knew that everything would erupt into flames :/

That doesn't matter, people depressed by loss and regret don't typically analyze situations in a logical manor.

I feel I should make a short character thing.

Name: Skye Bveska

Appearance and Story: During the civil war of the two opposing pyromancy tribes, Skye was engulfed in her own flame while trying to cast Fire Tempest, leaving her face and body burned and charred. She wears an outfit that was given to her by Sens blacksmiths. A helmet that is forged from black iron with a fully eloping mask to hide her face from others, and steel armor that has been painted black to symbolize her chaotic nature with fire when confronted by enemies. The armor was imbued with a magic to lift its own weight to help the maneuverability of such clunky armor, giving her a boost in dexterity in combat. When she eventually died, she was resurrected by the Great Gravelord Nito, which sealed off the remaining opening in the mask with calcium. To see outside of her mask she feels the life energy of others, like the energy in a flame. After being resurrected, she roamed Lordran aimlessly, until she came across the city of Anor Londo, the city of sunlight. Enraged by the familiar warmth of the sun that represented life, she vowed to end all life on the surface world. Her mind had been twisted and torn and broken through being resurrected, leaving her to be completely lawful evil, using symbols like the Silver Knight Straightsword and the reflective Iron Shield to show her use of their weapons against the living, which were designed to show the reflection of the sun in support of the living.

Adding Skye now!

Name: Avrik "the Crow " Tyrhannos

Appearance: A tall lean individual, dark hair, dull green eyes, wears the rags of his former garb (hollow thiefs set, often seen carrying a great scythe slung casually over one should, and always surrounded by a murder of crows.

Lore: Avrik's life as a human was full of blood deciept and betrayal. As a member of the noble house of Tyrhannos in Old Astora he and his family were given lordship rights over the western steppes as a result of their defection to the current regime during a period of civil war. How ever thier betrayal of thier former masters carried weight and as a cruel joke the Astoran lords selected the raven as the Tyrhannos crest.

Despite the insult the tyrhannos proudly bore that crest until the time of Avrik. When the Astoran lords thought is perntinent to reduce the noble houses to mere shadows of thier former power and replace the lordship of the regions with faithful knights the reign of the Tyrhannos in the west came to a close. Ser Addemar Wentz was selected as the knight to replace the tyrhannos as ruler of the west. However by that point rumours of the dark deeds in the Tyrhannos family had become wide spread and many feared to leave the Tyrhannos faction.

When Ademar began to spread his rule he declared war on all those would would not swear alleginace to him. Thus the Purges began. After a time Addemar found traces of "necromancers" within the Tyrhannos lands and rallied an army of knights to cleanse the west of its corruption.

Avrik the current head of the family at the time went out to meet this Ser Wentz. On his way he would meet a woman who called herself "The Crow" and who was trailed by a constant murder of Crows .It was said that Avrik, a normal human at that point despite the family and its dabbling in the dark arts, was struck full in the face by Addemar's morning star and killed outright.

However for some reason he could not fathom he did not die. He got to his feet and saw the woman the called "The Crow" begin to assault the assembled knights. Instincitvely he joined the battle and despite being unarmed and taking many wounds he never fell. He would be known infamously in Astora as the man who ripped our Ser Addemar Wentz's throat.

Weeks later he continued his dogged pursuit and study of necromancy under the "Crow", whose real name was Neyth. He travelled with her for years. They considered starting a family, leaving the wandering, the killing, even death behind them. However the knowledge that his every existance was controlled by the whims of the Crow terrified Avrik and wieghed on his night and day .Until fatefully one day Avrik would kill his love and former mentor.

In that momment he assumed the title of "the Crow" and took the "rites" to his souls and existance back from her. He took her Murder and journeyed on pilgrimage back to the lands where she gained her power.

In the Tombs Avrik found the lord of death, Gravelord Nito. Here he pledged his support of the great lord and was accepted as the Hand of Nito for his skills with agency, deceit, and will.

In the bargain Nito told Avrik of the Age of the Dead where all was at peace and no chaos would ever reign. Seeing this as the only means to exist Avrik began his service. But as time went on the constancy of death began to bore Avrik and he asked Nito for the rights to dwell next to him during the Age of the Dead. Nito said nothing but Avrik took that to mean acceptance and served with renewed vigour.

During the First Tomb War Avrik fought with Drake and the Gravesworn on the front lines and was struck down by the Hero Oscar after his plans for the knights assassination failed. His body was taken back to the Noble Knights sanctuary where Oscar attempted to exocise Avrik like he had done Siefer before him. However Nito had taken half of his Hand's skeleton for his own and it merely singed the physical body away. With his Hand out of commision Nito sent Issur van Halt of Vinhiem to secure the remains of Avrik. And this he was brough back from the Final Death.

Avrik also served in the Painted War aiding the Lifehunters in throwing back the Noble Knights. While the defensive action was successful Avrik betrayed Priscilla and her mean, attacking the Wyrmhero and the Painted Lady herself for a dragon scale. When Drake recieved the scale he knew the time was right and his bargain with the Darkstalkers allowed him to ensure the Gravesworns survival and allied them with newer more powerful allies.

Currently Avrik has been gifted a new body by Nito and was dispatched by the inquisitive Healer Lethard to secure bodies so he can show the strange knight Necromancy.

OKay you're both added right nows!

Name: Zacham Sane
aka: The Moonlight Knight

Covenant: Seath`s Sorcerers

Personality: Cold and calculating, willing to kill to further his goals, believes that the cause justifies the mean,. hates faith users.

Voice: Deep voice with a slight echo

Armor: Silver Knight armor without its Helmet, the white cape has been replaced by a multi-colored one with an appearance similiar to Seath`s wings

Weapons: Moonlight Greatsword fastened to his back with crystaline growths, TCC.

Special strengths: Slight regeneration while in contact with his sword. Control over crystals allowing him to command golems and shape small crstals.

Special weaknesses: Grows progressivly weaker if removed from his sword, dies if removed from it for more than a day.

Lore: Zacham was one of the protectors of Anor Londo, a Silver Knight. Having proven himself in battle against many would-be looters, he was promoted to the Rank of Captain and was given a new Patrolroute and chambers directly outside those of his Lady Gwynever. 3 Weeks later he discovered the thruth about Gwynevere and the existence of Gwnydolin.

He attempted to inform his superior Ornstein, who became enraged over Zachams apperent lack of faith and ordered him publicy executed. Zacham however managed to escape the Knights who were dragging him towards the execution spot.

Using a sword stolen from one of them, Zacham battled his way through Anor Londo trying to escape the city. The other Knights however had closed every exit so he decided to had for the only place in the city where no Silver Knight would follow the Duke`s Archives.

At the gates to Seath´s domain Gwyndolin already waited for him. telling Zacham to stand down and let himself be punished for his sins. This enraged Zacham causing him to recklessly attack Gwyndolin. who easily dodged his attack retaliating with an arrow that shattered Zachams helmet and and scared his face. giving him a "Glasgow-Smile".

Dazed from the hit and knowing that he could not beat Gwyndolin Zacham sprinted towards the Duke`s Domain, while taking arrow after arrow from Gwyndolin`s relentless assault. Zacham collapsed only a few feet inside the Gate leading to Seath´s Domain.

Gwyndolin prepared to finish Zacham but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of four Channelers. Who informed him that, since Zacham was in their Domain now. He was their resposibility. With that they turned and took Zacham with them.

Zacham woke inside a chamber filled over and over with glowing crystals. He tried standing up, but noticed that his entire body was incased in crystal leaving only his head free. Panicking he cried for help, only to have his cries answered by a toneless voice that painfully echoed from the crystals.

The voice told him that he had almost died, but that it could not let the opportunity pass to find out what a Silver Knight could have done to spark the hatred of all his companions. And Zacham answered the Voice, telling him all he found out. about Gwynevere, about Gwyndolins trickery, about Ornsteins blindness, and how he had to kill his brothers-in-arms.

After he told him Zacham regained some of his composure and asked the voice who it was, and more importantly where they where. The Voice did not answer, but Zacham could feel the Crystals moving beneath him shifting him into an upright position.

Thats when he saw the great, white dragon Seath the Scaleless for the first time. Seath told him that they were deep inside the caverns beneath his Archives and that he could restore Zachams body, but only if Zacham was willing to pledge himself to his Service.

Zacham agreed and the crystals moved once more, this time infront of an brightly glowing crystal. Zacham could feel the light of the crystal restoring his body, not only restoring but changing it, strenghtening it. When the crystals light began healing the scar Gwyndolin had inflicted he yelled at Seath to stop, wishing to keep the scar as an memento for his hatred of Gwyndolin.

Seath nodded and released the crystals holding Zacham in place. Seath told him that the damage was to great for the Primordial Crystal to heal and that to survive he would need to have constant contact with the Primordial Crystal thus keeping his body in a constant state of regeneration.

Luckily Seath had just the thing for this and gave Zacham a sword whose blade seemed to be made out of the same glow the crystal radiated. Seath explained to him that the sword was forged from a piece of the Primordial Crystal and that it woud keep Zacham alive while outside the Archives aslong as it was within contact with his body.

Zacham accepted the gift and knelt down. pledging himself to Seath, vowing to protect him and to ensure his goals to be fullfilled.

Nowadays Zacham in known as the Moonlight Knight, attacking any who would threaten his Lord or his interests.

His greatest dream is taking revenge on Gwyndolin and the entire Gwyn family for their percived betrayel.

Name: Nevyn, the crossbreed.

Appearance: Tall, above average. Surprisingly skinny. Looks like a dragonoid. Always unarmed, unless he is about to got to war.

Lore: He was one of the first humans that served the dragons, hoping to become dragons themselves. But when he could do nothing but run when his masters were attacked by the gods.
He became the leader of the dragonoids, since he was the strongest one, and the one closest to becoming a dragon. He tried his best to keep them together. Since, without a real dragon, they could not complete their metamorphosis . He made many good friends during this time, many years passed and the times were peaceful

But when the hatchling, the new dragon, was born. All of the dragonoids turned against each other, killing each other for scales, so that they could become real dragons. Only Nevyn, and two of his friends did not betray each other. They watched as their friends slaughtered each other for power.
After weeks of hiding, no wanting to be killed but not wanting to kill anyone either. They decided to leave Ash lake. They still regret having to leave their former family, but it was the only thing they could do. Unless they wanted to kill their former comrades. They decided to not complete their transformation, if this was what had to be done in order to complete it.
So they were homeless, traveling trough lordran in search of a new home. But no one would accept them, since they refused to go back to being ordinary humans.

One of Nevyns friends was killed during their travels, he was killed by a knight named Oscar.
He also lost his other friend, Kuol, In the catacombs, but Kuol may still be alive. At least Nevyn hopes so.
In time, Nevyn started to hate himself for leaving his family. He could not return, for he was ashamed over leaving them when they needed him the most. But he promised that if he ever found a new home, he would protect it until he died.

Eventually, he reached the Painted world. Where he met The Hand, Etraiu. They welcomed him into their home. Seeing that he, just like their queen Priscilla, was half human and half dragon.
He quickly rose in the ranks, and became a member of the council. He fought in the war against the Noble knights, where he met Oscar, a knight with the same name as the one who killed his friend.

He later learned that the war in his former home had stopped, that they had finally stopped killing each other. He learned that many of the dragons from his time were still alive, and he hoped that he would one day be able to revisit them.

When Etraiu left the Painted world Nevyn was about to confront and kill him. But he was reminded of how he had left his first family, and let him go. But he swore an oath, to kill Etraiu the next time he saw him.

OKay, last two up!

When the Knights of Berenike became undead and ventured to Lordran, They divided into groups before journeying through Lordan. There were four groups, all were lead by selected individuals who showed immense strength and skill in all forms of combat. One of the four leaders was Krom. Krom was ranked a lieutenant in the army of the Berenike and was known for his immense strength and resilience on the battlefield. Of the four leaders, Krom was ranked the lowest and was given the least respect out of the knights that became hollowed. He had a group of six knights including himself. All the knights in his group save one considered themselves better off without Krom and planned to overthrow his leadership once their group had set out. While the other four groups explored their assigned areas, one group to the Undead Parish, another to the Painted World, and the last to the infamous Sen’s Fortress, Krom took his group to the dreaded catacombs to lay waste to the skeletal nightmares and reap everything of value from the horrid caves.

When they had finally reached the first bonfire the four rebellious knights decided it was time to execute their plan. While they were merrily drinking and feasting on their undead rats from the depths the four knights got to their feet and drew their claymores. Krom realized what was happening and got to his feet as well. He was given almost no time to unsheathe his claymore before the knights began to attack. Krom fought with the strength of two men, but alas, his strength was dwindling. The fifth knight, who was still loyal to Krom came back from his scouting assignment only to find that Krom, his leader and friend, was was about to be dead for good. Without pause, the knight charged into the fray and almost immediately had killed one of the four knights with an uppercut to the face. Realizing that he still had a faithful knight that would fight to the death for him, Krom retrieved a burst of energy and began to slowly gain the upper hand. Now the brawl was a much more even scrimmage of two versus three. Krom decisively lunged at the knight closest two him and struck a massive blow to his head. The knight fell to the floor with blood gushing out of the wound on his head. Krom then went after the one who had attempted to come to the aid of his fallen ally. The other two knights began to fight as well. The pair of knights had realized that they had made a grave mistake and retreated. They ran further into the catacombs and strategized to catch Krom off guard, assassinate him, and then quickly finish off the other knight. Meanwhile, back at the bonfire Krom and the fifth knight assessed the damage.

They had found that most of the food was destroyed in the brawl and most of the rest of the supplies, all that was still intact was their armor, weapons, and ten swigs of an estus flask. They divided the swigs so that each had five. The next day, they ventured deeper into the catacombs to continue their now much more difficult journey. They were walking down a long dark corridor that was lined with coffins on either side. They stopped at the remains of a freshly killed titanite demon. Knowing that their saboteurs were close by they began to draw their claymores when all of the sudden the fifth knight was run through by two claymores and then kicked to the floor. Krom, in astonishment and utter rage, swiftly turned around and dealt a flurry of attacks into the darkness of the hallway. The two knights realized that they had killed the wrong person and ran as far and as fast as they could from the now livid Krom. After the two had fled, Krom searched in the almost complete darkness for his friend. He struggled to pick up his only loyal knight and found that he did not have the strength to pick up his now dead companion. Krom sat on the floor, downed the ten estus swigs and grieved.

Krom fell asleep and had a vision of a large coffin with a massive undead inside of it. Krom awoke from his vision to find that two of the coffins closest to him had been pulled out and opened. He figured that this was indeed the doing of the large undead from his vision. He moved his ally into one of the coffins and got into the coffin next to it. The coffin was abruptly closed and he was forced into darkness. Hours later, the coffin was dropped onto the ground and the top was pushed off. Krom slowly climbed out of the coffin and stretched his aching muscles. He lifted his dead knight out of the coffin and walked towards the enormous undead before him. “GREETINGS,” the undead beckoned. The sound of the undead’s voice pierced Krom’s brain and vibrated through his bones. “I AM LORD NITO, THE FIRST OF THE DEAD AND THE LEADER OF THE GRAVELORDS,” beckoned the undead. Krom was not scared, he was calm and collected, he knew what he had come for and he was going to get it. “Oh lord Nito, I have come before you to ask a favor,” Krom said. “THE POWERS OF LORD NITO ARE UNFATHOMABLE TO A MORTAL LIKE YOURSELF. STATE YOUR PLEE,” beckoned the undead. Krom replied, “My faithful ally has fallen in battle lord Nito, I have come to ask you to use your powers to revive this poor soul so that he may once again journey through Lordran.” Krom then placed the dead body infront of Nito and stepped back. “Lord Nito, if you grant me this favor I shall give you my life,” said Krom. “I SHALL AGREE TO YOUR PROPOSITION, KROM OF THE BERENIKE, BUT,” said Nito, “YOU AND YOUR KNIGHT WILL HAVE YOUR MEMORIES ERASED AND GIVEN TO ME.” Krom nodded and Nito gripped both of them in each hand and sucked the memories from their bodies. He than summoned a skeleton soldier and sucked the life from it and transfer it to the knight. Krom and the knight both blacked out soon after.

The knight awoke at the gates to Sen’s fortress and ventured through until he set up shop in a tower that was cut off from the rest of the fortress by a broken bridge. Krom awoke to a strange man with black knight armor and a hood that masked his face. “Greetings, my name is Drake, welcome to the Gravesworn.”


Pretty long but if you read the whole thing it'll give you some lore.

Why do all the graesworn meet drake and not Avrik?
