Captain Raelin

Appearance
Captain Raelin is a swift and brutal wood-elf ranger with hair the color of dry straw and a face heavily scarred by jagged thorn-vines. She wears camouflaged leather armor made from the hides of mana-starved beasts and carries a longbow carved from dark, ancient yew.
Personality
Fanatical and single-minded, Raelin has lost the traditional elven grace, replaced by a twitchy, predatory intensity. She believes the survival of the Whispering Woods requires the absolute purging of all "outsider" influence, regardless of the cost to the innocent.
Secret Motives
Raelin is unknowingly influenced by the corrupting resonance of the ancient Mana-Siphon being misused by Arch-Druid Malakor. This magical radiation has warped her natural protective instincts into a localized bloodlust, making her a pawn in Malakor's destructive rituals.
Combat Tactics
Raelin commands packs of dire wolves with a series of sharp, melodic whistles. She is a master of the "Thorn-Snare" arrow—a projectile that explodes into a tangle of grasping briars upon impact. She moves with unnatural speed through the undergrowth, utilizing "Pass Without Trace" to disappear after every shot.
