Metal body, second skin. We shy away from our fate.

At a Glance

Sable Crane, a towering Hellsguard woman that would meet anyone with the same tired gaze. Half-lidded crimson eyes surrounded by dark circles, heavy eyelashes that beg for rest yet never seem to quite get it. Her restless visage is framed by disheveled flowing auburn hair spilling over her shoulders. It is not difficult to figure out it must have been a long time since the Roe had cared for how she presents herself.The mountain of a woman that is she is brawny, strong as an ox, evident even when often being covered from head to toe in dented, scarred plate armor. No doubt that underneath the plate one will find similar marks on her flesh canvas. This is a battle-hardened warrioress who has been through many tests in the field of combat.She carries a formidable arsenal as well, a hefty two handed blade sheathed onto her back, the baldric holding it strung with throwing knives. Next to it is often a heavy crossbow, thick steel bolts at her hip to pierce through armor and monster scales alike. If one pays close attention they might notice strange runes carved into her blade, barely visible even when sheathed along the spine of the sword.The Hellsguard possesses a deep, resounding voice, speaking clearly and plainly, her tone is rather blunt with an unwavering cadence. Despite the many years of speaking common, the accent from her homeland still surfaces at times, especially when she speaks her mother tongue.

I've come here from nowhere, across the unforgiving sea.
Drifting further and further, It's all becoming clear to me.

A Hellsguard doing what they are taught to do best, killing, often brutally. Better when it for coin, though there are other recompenses she may accept for her services. She and her ferocious companion, Sterr are certainly going to be worth the price for their services. Of course, there are causes Sable may pledge herself to without need of reward, situations she may wish to help with or defenseless people she will choose to aid. Then there are voidsent as well, they are a foe that require no convincing on the Roegadyn's part to slay, even for free.

Hellsguard are taught from a young age in the Farrreach how to fight in order to do just that, guard the gates to the underworld. Those who are firstborn stay to fulfill their ancestral duty, she was unfortunately not first to her parents and was eventually sent away to live as a mercenary, as many of her people do. She still does fulfill her duty in her own way however, fighting against the demonic scourge across all of Hydaelyn. There is certainly more to her crusade against demons and those who wish to know can find out, in time.

Crane has a profound interest in the occult, any fellow dark knight would easily recognize that she is one, perhaps even regardless of that one may realize that. She dabbles in forbidden arts of blood magic, sacrificing flesh to empower herself. She is actively seeking more knowledge upon the subject, scouring libraries and ruins, searching for people who might more than her. Perhaps fellow practitioners may have heard of her and wish to exchange knowledge. She will also gladly take any work involving delving into ancient ruins in hopes of finding the information she seeks.

Sable is a wandering knightess, rarely does she stick around in civilization too much, choosing to keep to the wilderness instead. One may come across her in some dark long forgotten ruins, perhaps a dense black forest in the middle of the night with the warm light of her campfire as a sign of safety perhaps and... What's wrong? Get a bit of scare out there? No problem. Have a seat and get comfortable. She does not mind the company one bit. You'll both be Hollow before you know it. Hah hah hah hah…

Despite the brutality the Roe sometimes conducts herself with, the knightess is not without moments of peace. She often carries a few books in the pouches strapped to her bear, taking the time to read, research and even simply just enjoy literature. Most of her books are for topics she is intrigued in learning more about, some certainly forbidden occult ones included, but she also simply reads books for entertainment at times. Others may certainly find her in libraries or bookshops, as well as come across her while reading, often in nature.

See that well sculpted warrior body? This mountain of a woman could be willing to teach others how to obtain it too and mentor people in the way of fighting. A well-versed woman in the matters of war, she has been through many battles, especially during her time in Gyr Abania where many of the scars that decorate her flesh have been earned. She could potentially make for a great teacher for an up and coming warrior. If one chooses to stick around her, they surely might learn a thing or two.

A traveler at heart, she is not likely to settle down any time soon. Through cold frozen wastelands, heated seas of sand, wild untamed forests, sometimes cities as well, the Roegadyn wanders with her tent. Yet she still has needs that cannot entirely be fulfilled by herself. Maintenance for weapons and armor, buying rations, resupplying her armaments, procuring new equipment, finding shelter at inns whenever possible. Crane is no loner, she needs the help of others, artisans, healers and others who can provide services she requires.

Members of the Ala Mhigan resistance as well as soldiers of the Garlean Empire may remember "Dancing Crane" and her ursine companion fighting alongside the resistance. Dubbed thus by fellow Hellsguard for the way she cleaved through Garlean forces, wielding a zweihander in a macabre dance of death. Of course, she could not have done it without her companion, Sterr. The ferocious beast is no doubt lingering in the minds of the people she fought alongside with, or against, with the savagery the bear torn Garleans apart.

The reckless warrior often finds herself in trouble, on the brink of death stumbling into an abandoned shack, an unsavory clinic or perhaps simply leaning against a tree trying to tend to her wounds best she can. One may come across the enfeebled warrior and offer help, or perhaps choose to take advantage of the situation instead. She could certainly use a healer to not get into such situations in the first place...
