<Grendal Eronale, the Cursed Witch>
A Ruhn necromancer said to haunt the Runadium. Once a high-ranking mage, Grendal was rejected by her people following a failed attempt to resurrect her deceased lover at the Runadium, the site of his death. Cursing herself, she turned away from the world and grew to hate her own kind, becoming a companion only to evil spirits roaming the Runadium.
<Idris, Wayward Child of Ru>
Son of a magistrate, he was revered for his swordsmanship and vowed from an early age to devote his life to the defense of Ru. Seeking the power to defend his city, Idris was fascinated by the power of Empyrean Lord Israphel and spent his time searching the Abyss for a relic of Israphel's that would allow him to travel between dimensions. Following the collapse of the AION Tower and the city's fall into the Abyss, the wayward son Idris disappeared from memory.
