Holden Fain
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Holden Fain is a graduate of Archon, a diviner and historian, and a member of the Eagle Brigade. He came to Vansreik a few years ago, drawn by the story of the Deep Pit, and he is obsessed with tales from before the second coming of the Dark One.1
The first son of a wealthy merchant, Holden comes from a family that always had strong relations with the Empire's bureaucracy, and in Vansreik he used those relations to find a place in one of the mercenary companies. His contacts introduced him to Donald Whent, who saw the young wizard's potential and accepted him into the Eagle Brigade.2
Loyal and wise but inexperienced, Holden is a powerful wizard whose expertise is not battle magic; he was never trained for combat, and in his few years with the Brigade he has added only a handful of fighting spells to his arsenal. He is better at strengthening his allies, and he is most useful with melee fighters standing between him and the enemy. He favours missions in ruins from the second age.2
