Rannek

Rannek is a human fighter who settled in Nesmé and worked as a foot soldier. He was the only survivor left in the ruins of the town when it was destroyed by Proffit and his trolls; he was hit from behind and pinned under a boulder. Somehow he escaped and, ashamed of his quick defeat, he attempted to make things right by leading a group of refugees to safety, that is, until General Dagna and Galen Firth found them battling trolls. Rannek and Firth grated on each other's nerves. When the refugees had gotten to safety, Rannek fled east to Damara.

It was there that he joined with Zhai and Illius to cleanse the Gemspark mine and accidentally freed Cireka and Ygorl. Since then he has helped slay both as well as a large part of their armies and the red dragon Caminus.

Now, with his two companions, he rules over Vaasa, claiming it from the monsters living there for King Gareth Dragonsbane.
