General information
Martane Crow has been around for a long, long time. He witnessed the banishment of Abaddon by the other Gods, the creation of the Domain of Anguish and the first of the Margonites. He saw the lowest depths and highest mountains of Human behaviour. He experienced them even. Born in fire and hatred, breathed cruelity and darkness, until he was reborn in the shadows. These days Martane is a closed and focused person. He keeps to himself mostly and does not care for the meddlement of others. He sees friends as temporary allies who have to be carefully monitored and watched to make sure they are not up to something. He spends his time travelling the continents, working as a mercenary for several factions. He aided the Kurzicks against the Luxons and visa versa, helped the Order of Whispers strike down the Margonites and in their fights against Abaddon and fought the Mursaat in Tyria. In between his work he spends most of his time in Cantha with an old friend, Ish. They like challenging each other at chess. Unfortunatly till this day Martane has never been able to beat her at it.

Appearance
Martane Crow is a medium size man who wears an armor crafted of black metal in the Vasburg Armory, deep in the Kurzick territory in Cantha. His hands are covered in hardened lava with hot streams running through it. A gift from Jadoth to remind him of the pain he inflicts. His weapons of choice is a set of Destroyer daggers.

Friends and allies
Master of Whispers

Martane and the Master of Whispers met a few years ago in the Kodash Bazaar.

Order of Whispers

The Order of Whispers is a secret society working to protect Elona. It is led by the Master of Whispers.

Ish the Desecrated

A rather odd Ritualist living in the slums around Kaineng Centre.

Enemies
Abaddon

Abaddon is the former God of Secrets. He used to be among the six Gods of Tyria, as the God of Water and Knowledge. However, he was outcast by the other five gods and imprisoned in the Realm of Torment. He remained the god of secrets during his imprisonment, while Grenth ruled over water as the God of Cold.

Lord Jadoth

Jadoth was his commander until Martane's betrayal in 328 A.E. Also first of the Margonites and currently a luitenant under Mallyx the Unyielding.

The Margonite Army

Due to Martane's betrayal to Jadoth and Abaddon the Margonite army is a natural enemy of him since that day.

Background
Martane Crow was for the most part of his life an extremely disturbed and evil creature. He found much pleasure and energy into torture of captives and managed to extract much information that way. After the fall of Abaddon he got banished to the Realm of Torment which did not help with his degrading mental condition. Even though he remained effective in his post his cruelity was beyond any form of morality. After his betrayal and escape from the Realm of Torment he hid somewhere in Cantha hoping Abaddon's servants would not find him. With his paranoia growing each day he started to lose his mind more and more. Time went by and eventually he went out into the city to gather food. It is there that he ran into Ish, a ritualist with an rather odd personality. She noticed him instantly and knew what he was. She followed him to his hideout and approached him there. Martane was convinced that she was one of Abaddon's servants and was send to kill him. After a long conversation she managed to convince him this was not the case and that she could help him.
