"Shred their Spirit"
Name & Title: Stell, Carrion sibling
Bio: Stell is one of the first born of the God-queen and the most mystically inclined sibling. Along with her brood brother Skell she is one of the carrion siblings, the two mirrors know for their obsession with bones. The two grew up living near the boneyards where their only entertainment was playing with skeletal remains. While the two are more savage than the rest of the clan, they are still capable of speech and combat tactics. Stell is more talkative than her brother, but only because she had to learn more words to study magic. Studying under her mother has allowed her to learn advanced plague magic and time spent wandering the wastes has lead to her own incites into spirit magic. This magic, considered dark by some, uses the spirits of the dead as a source of power. The bones that Stell wears are useful as conduits and containers for these spells and are often inhabited by the spirits of previous felled foes. While she is more magically inclined, she is only marginally weaker than her brother and only uses her magic if she feels there is enough time for it. Stell takes more time at planning and was the one who suggested that the bone pit be deepened enough to use for ambushes. Her role is more combat support as she is best suited to soften targets or provide harassment from the back.
Outside of combat Stell is only slightly more sociable than her brother Skell. She talks a lot more than her brother, often speaking for him if he is next to her. She is more willing to show compassion to more than just her brother and will protect those she has grown attached to. Stell will take orders from her mother and might fulfill requests of other clan members. She spends most of the day buried beneath the bones waiting to attack with Skell. She often hunts with him and can also be found preying on those lost within the boneyard, collecting their spirits for later use. The most common way to see the siblings is when they burst forth from the bone pit in a cross attack on a single target.

Name & Title: Skell, Carrion sibling
Bio: Skell is one of the four first born of the God-queen and the strongest sibling physically. Along with his brood sister Stell he is one of the carrion siblings, the two mirrors know for their obsession with bones. The two grew up living near the boneyards where their only entertainment was playing with skeletal remains. While the two are more savage than the rest of the clan, they are still capable of speech and combat tactics. Skell developed himself physically, picking fights with just about any creature that crossed his path. This was most useful early on in the clan's existence as it provided a source of fresh meat on a regular basis. Skell's fighting abilities truly came to the front when the clan began expanding and lair defense was needed. He is the reason that the expanse around the lair is covered by bones, some of fallen foes, but mostly as a display. His sister was the one that determined that the bone pit should be deepened for tactical use. Skell's primary attribute is his strength, capable of clawing or biting his way through most defenses. He relies on the fact that other clan members know healing spells and other defensive magic as he is often quite reckless. Though don't think he isn't capable of more than head on assaults, that would be a fatal mistake. Since they have lived and fought alongside each other their entire lives, the carrion siblings can inherently know where the other one is. Skell is adept at striking just as his target loses focus on him, usually when his sister acts as a distraction.
Outside of combat Skell is not extremely sociable. He isn't very intelligent, though he can speak for the most part just don't expect engaging conversation. He cares about his sister the most and will protect her with his life if need be. Skell will follow his mother's orders, especially if it involves fighting, but ignores the rest of the clan. He spends most of the day buried beneath the bones outside the lair waiting for the combat alarm to be sounded. Should he be venturing beyond the lair, he is either hunting food or hunting for a fight. The most common way to see the siblings is when they burst forth from the bone pit in a cross attack on a single target.
"Flay their Flesh."
Name & Title: Marrow, Execution squad commander
Bio: Marrow was a lone wanderer of the boneyards that found her way into the territory of Gernsabella and promptly defeated several of the lair guardians before the god queen subdued her. Stell and Skell were first to engage and were overwhelmed with sheer force as was Solaris and Waver who were next to step in. Those four were able to escape from killing blows thanks to the resilience of Ithol and her Father Gevelion who intervened just in time. Those two, despite their defensive capability, took quite a beating and were barely able to deal any lasting damage to Marrow. If it wasn't for Ahmaladeus stepping in and relentlessly beating Marrow down with magic force, the clan may have lost several members. Subdued, but not dead, Marrow pledged allegiance to Gernsabella for reasons that are know only to her and maybe Belladonna. What little is known about Marrow is that she became one of the most violent mirrors, so much so that no swarm would form around her as they were too afraid of her. She wandered the plague lands alone taking delight in slaughtering anyone that she crossed paths with. Her first kill provided the bone she carved into the half mask she wears, and another kill provided her with her prized cleaver. What lies behind the mask is a mystery. Belladonna once said that the void itself is there and nothing more. So whether Marrow is missing those eyes or she is so vile those eyes have turned black, the clan may never know, but it would be safe to say the latter since a dragon's eyes betray their element. The most dangerous part about Marrow is how well she can organize the carrion siblings Skell and Stell. These three have become known as the execution squadron, a group meant to take down whatever target they are given through brute force. If Ahmaladeus orders Marrow to kill a target, pray that she didn't give Marrow your name.
Outside of combat, if such a thing exists for Marrow, it should go without saying she is insane. There is no real talking to Marrow, only hoping that she doesn't snap and try to take your head. Ahmaladeus keeps her busy for this reason, she is too dangerous to let sit idle and is always on hunting or kill missions. However, Ahmaladeus likes to remind Marrow of her place and forces her to act as an escort only allowing Marrow to attack if the situation truly calls for it. During these missions Marrow is often agitated and extremely moody, a common site is to see marrow biting her front leg or tail hard enough to draw blood in order to satiate her Bloodlust temporarily.
