Jessica - Head healer. A goblin woman whose gentle features and healer's instincts belied the steel core that let her make life-and-death decisions without hesitation.
Kelvin - Jessica's brother and one of the settlement's most skilled warriors. The goblin known as "Wolf-Slayer" stood with casual confidence that came from surviving impossible odds.
Urgak - Orc warrior captain. Despite losing his left arm in battle months ago, he commanded the settlement's orcish contingent with brutal efficiency.
Chief Ssk'thar - Leader of the serpentfolk fighters. His scaled features showed no emotion, but his flickering tongue tasted the tension in the air.
Thrak - A demon engineer sent by Loki to oversee the settlement's defensive construction. His obsidian-black skin and glowing amber eyes marked him as one of Loki's specialist corps. Clawed hands bore scars from both combat and construction work—evidence of decades spent building fortifications across demon territories.
