[sblock=Jael Shaez]
The Per-Medja of Dragonhawk was situated just outside Thaliost. It had been there for three centuries, founded by elven monks. There was three schools in the monastery: The Mages, the Arcane Archers and the Dance of Dragonhawk (A fighting style that seems like dancing). During the first occupation of Thaliost the monastery stayed neutral but during the second occupation they began secretly teaching farmers the art of the Dance. And when Thaliost was freed they swore an oath to protect the city if it ever came under siege again. It did, and the forces of the monastery proved their worth in fight but eventually they were defeated. Only few survided and even them only because they were too injured to fight anymore and were carried away by the withdrawing militia. Among them were Jael Shaez and his brother/cousin. After they recovered Jael and the few other monks who still knew the Dance began teaching a new spec-ops team. But when the call came to take back Thalios Jael instantly volunteered. After the failed missions he was assigned with his brother/cousin to the 51st Airborne Infantry Platoon, later to be known as the Dead Men. There Jael befriended his brothers-in-arms.
After the war he bacame a hermit. Resigning to live in solitude and practise the meditation techniques of Grand Master Elendur. He was the last living student of the Grand Master and became determined to keep his lifework alive. But by the time he was called back to Adal's Blade, now a special ops team of Royal Eyes, he had realized that as long as the fall of Thaliost burned his mind he could never find inner peace. And so he rejoined his friends.
Jael is quiet elf of about 170 years of age. From time to time he can be quite cryptic when talkin (think of zen-monks), but he isn't a master so he isn't yet ready to start teaching the way of Grand Master Elendur. That means that mostly he will try to be understandable

I went and numbered (
51st infantry platoon of Northern Army) and named (
Adal's Blade) our platoon, but it is still up for change if someone disapproves. I think most knows but for those who don't: First Warlord Adal is the queen's brother and the loudest voice planning the retake of Thaliost.
The fighting style: Dance of Dragonhawk, I planned to be something like Shaolin mixed with Capoeira mixed with use of staff
(Yeah, it sounds a bit messy to me too
). Just for everyone to get a mental image if/when Jael is forced to actually fight.
