A dark thing older than he seems, he is changing in his confrontation with the spirit of this new age. Unlike some of his fellow fey he has adapted rather well. This changing of his self has not left him unscarred. As he pours himself into shaping the corpus of the world, he loses a bit of himself. He is the watcher beyond the shadows, perhaps in them to long. Death surrounds him, and is dealt from his hands as a blessing. In terms of his progression, Uru has become much more sophisticated in his interactions with others. His increasing understanding of mechanical things, the trip to the Fae wilds, and his traveling of the world has been re-created in miniature in the cultivation of his garden. The trip to save the ghost children on Cauldron hill a symbolic progression to save himself from losing the innocence he had before he came to the lands of men. The cruelty that lies beneath his gaze is unwavering, but not evil. He is a creature who exist alongside, rather than in the structures and norms of the society he inhabits. A dark spirit whispering in the dark, growing stronger.</span></p><p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Albertsthal Typewriter'"><strong>Role within the unit. What's your specialty?</strong> Espionage and dark deeds. Uru is sent to gather information and watch hidden transactions, his mastery of stealth making him an asset in a variety of situations.

As Uru has become more independent, he has drifted from the view and control of Korrigan. This has happened unnoticed, as Korrigan is drawn into his own affairs.

The dwarf has been an ally and a force of destruction, but his private troubles and frequent absences mark him as a doomed man. Uru watches from the shadows, waiting for when the end must come for him, and hoping they see it together. The rise and fall of his cult and revelation of his control by the deep ones confirmed Uru’s suspicions that being in view of others was a weakness. The plumage of a bird so bright led many suitors who wished to wear its coat.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Albertsthal Typewriter'"><strong>Leon</strong>: A changeling who flitted from one path to the other. Leon was the two headed coin of fate, spinning and spinning and spinning. In his heart Uru has seen great anger, marked joy, tragedy and avarice. His increasing power in the realm of the Fey a guide to what such power would bring. His increasing preoccupations and ill-luck make Uru suspect that fate itself may be against his choice to take a path so rarely walked by his kind. Uru has killed with Leon, discreetly and as a fellow hunter. The member of the group he has the most respect for.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Albertsthal Typewriter'"><strong>Malthusius</strong>: He is not a single man, but a whole blood-line of ancestors. Uru initially was wary of him, but over time realized his intentions were pure. The loss of his arm and their faux hostility a ritual between friends. Of all the people, it is Malthusius who Uru trust the most. If there was a single member of the team Uru would give up the shadows to save, it would be him. It was once Korrigan, but after so much time, it is Malthusius who will live on to tell the stories of their lives. If only one of the group were to survive whatever apocalypse is unfolding, it is he. The reason may be that Malthusius operates in a way parallel normal society as well, seeing all. </span></p><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Albertsthal Typewriter'"> <strong>Matunaaga</strong>: Uru respects him as a combatant, and can see he has a distinguished blood-line.
