Elaine Pentalin

__NOTOC__
==History==
=== Early Life (1492 - 1516) ===
Elaine Pentalin is a half-elf with a complex heritage that has deeply influenced her character. Born to the daughter of Lady Cora Pentalin, a distinguished general in the Drekisian Empire, and an elusive elven father who disappeared before her birth, Elaine's childhood was marked by the intricacies of her mixed lineage. Raised by her strict human father, also a high-ranking military officer, she experienced the discipline and expectations that came with being part of the prestigious Pentalin family.
As the illegitimate child of a prominent house, Elaine faced the constant challenges of being looked down upon. Rather than yearning to uncover the mysteries of her elven lineage, she channeled her energy into a fierce determination to demonstrate her worthiness to the Pentalin name. The military ethos of her family, instilled by her mother and father became the foundation of her identity.
Elaine spent several years in the city of Redport, under the noble family in charge of the city guard, to train as a fighter and leader of men before receiving her first assignment as a junior officer. 
=== Mission 1: The Talens and The Deserters (May 1516) ===
At the age of 24, Elaine was tasked with her first large mission. Two months prior, the 7th Mixed Infantry Company, en route to Whiteshore to reinforce Drekisian forces engaged in battle with goblins, encountered a tumultuous situation aboard the ship Alma. Reports of fighting emerged as the ship approached Whiteshore, culminating in the ship crashing onto Arrow Island of the Talens. Captain Kel Syra Shohan, leader of the 7th Mixed Infantry Company, was presumed deceased, and suspicions arose that mercenaries had turned against the soldiers. 
Richard Marshal, a prominent noble within the newly established Drekisian Empire, entrusted Elaine with the leadership of a detachment comprising 24 soldiers. Their destination: the remote winter islands of the Talens. The primary objective was to put down the deserters and effect the rescue or capture of the cleric, confirmed to be alive.
Upon arrival on the island, Elaine discovered that the desertion had been orchestrated not by the mercenaries but by Mother Ilse, the cleric of Mathis. Mother Ilse had successfully persuaded the knights that the Drekisian Emperor was under demonic influence, compelling them to rebel against her. 
After several day of scouting and information gathering, Elaine and her forces faced off against the deserters lead by Mother Ilse. The ensuing battle proved fierce and bloody, resulting in substantial casualties for Elaine's forces. Nonetheless, Elaine emerged victorious, returning to Drekis with the captured cleric and the deserters dead.
=== Life in Fen Den (July 1516 - December 1516) ===
Upon her return to Drekis, Elaine received a promotion and assumed the role of captain of the guard in the city of Fen Den. During her tenure, she uncovered and apprehended a minor noble colluding with the Voraci colt, a faction gaining influence in the region.
=== Mission 2: Outpost on the Frontier (July 27th, 1517 - September 22nd, 1517) ===
In recognition of her success in the Talens, Elaine was once again tasked with a crucial expedition, this time to the remote island of Ethos. Several years prior, Drekis had established an outpost on the island, but communication had been lost. Under the supervision of Richard Marshal, Elaine's mission was to gather intelligence on the island's situation and reclaim it for Drekis if necessary. The mission commenced on July 27, 1517, and ended on September 22nd, 1517, when Geraldine Silverworth and her contingent of orcs left the island. After successfully liberating Santa Barbara from it's Voraci captors, Elaine decides to remain on Ethos where she marries the lord there, Lord Campbell, and acts as the ruler of the outpost.
