Heroes

Even among elites like the Avertigos, there are those that stand out. Some are that way because of their innate ability, while others come from clans with unusual skills. With their uncanny abilities these individuals can dramatically change the flow of battle in the skies.

### Ace Pilot

### Nimh Thugee

A deadly assassin, he'll make capturing islands that much easier as he stalks your enemies and removes their troops one at a time. All he needs is a silk handkerchief - of the best quality, of course.

### Kale Tinker

### Long Naxi

Many a time has he foiled the best laid plans by sensing something amiss and alerting the Avertigos of his ship, changing expected outcomes in unexpected ways.

### Djinn Fu

The Djinn are a secret society even within the esoteric ranks of the Academy.  They usually join a ship’s crew when they feel the De of the ship needs to be restored.  The Djinn regularly elicit extraordinary performance from wood and metal that few others can even begin to comprehend.

### Ahli Wau

Singasari Avertigos pride themselves on their natural flair and creativity with flight, but even they look askance at the Ahli Wau - the daredevils of the skies. In their obsessive pursuit for speed, they have learnt how to take their ships into insane descents and come out of them alive.

### Gioi Le
