Northern Magic Corps
CharacterThe Northern Magic Corps is a mercenary outfit working the far north under the first-class mage Wirbel. Built mainly around spellcasters, the band makes its name hunting demons, though it has also been pulled into wars between nations when crises demand it.
Overview
Led by the first-class mage Wirbel, this hired company operates across the northern reaches and is composed mostly of mages, though it may take in fighters of other classes as well; Wirbel once tried to talk Stark into signing on. Slaying demons is their specialty, but conflicts between nations occasionally call them to the field too.
Role
Because they have been deployed in wars as well as monster work, the corps carries hard-won experience, hardened by combat that at times pitted it against women and children alike. Wirbel commands the group, which wears no formal uniform of its own. Its history runs through countless clashes with both demons and humans alike.
Notable Members
Wirbel stands as captain of the corps. The band has left its mark beyond its roster as well; years earlier its fighters rescued Ehre's village from a demon assault during her childhood.
