Vellen

Vellen leaps into combat once Luc grabs the target's attention and starts dealing damage from behind. If he's a bit too eager and starts the fight before Luc has everyone's attention, you can hear him yelling 'Taunt!' Although he too is wearing heavy armor, he's opted for only the lighter bits to ensure he can keep up with enemies who decide to run.

Vellen was originally just passing through the very edge of the Driftwood Drag when he hear the sounds of a skirmish nearby. Normally he'd be the first to jump into a fray, but nighttime was when his shadow brethren had the advantage. Be it shadow versus shadow or shadow versus beastclans, this was one fight he planned to stay out of.

It couldn't hurt to watch though, right?

Vellen crept as quietly as he could through the bushes towards the fight, careful that the moonlight didn't give him away, and took a peek. A pair of young Serthis were attacking a female skydancer. He didn't understand why she wasn't moving out into the open a bit more to have room to fight; she should be more than a match for them.

After watching a bit longer he finally saw the answer - a little tundra head popped out from the bush behind her. The skydancer was distracted by the hatchling and didn't see the Serthis drop to the ground to slip past her.

Vellen was already standing on the Serthis's tail before he realized he'd made the decision to move. It was the Skydancer who delivered the swift kick to its face that knocked it out cold. The Serthis's companion fled while the Skydancer was squaring off against Vellen.

Vellen took a step back to show he wasn't a threat.

The skydancer gave a little bow and said, "Thank-you for your aid; I am Emiliandris and these are my wards." She gestured to the wiggling bush. "Would you be interested in some bodyguard work for my group?"

Vellen agreed and has been doing the job long after the little group turned into clan Arboreus.
