Starfaller

Starfaller is the current Red Hand — Supreme Commander of the Grim Shadows, Arkest's most feared private military company. A precision-based strategist with a kill-first decision matrix, Starfaller rose through the ranks as a Black Raven specializing in high-risk infiltration, assassinations, and void-contaminated recovery missions. His record shows a 100% mission success rate across over 500 confirmed operations before promotion. Following the death of Malrik Dreadmourne (Old Knife), Starfaller was selected by unanimous agreement between the Thumb, the Four Fingers, and the Red Ghosts. No rival stood. His leadership style is defined by minimal visibility, maximum operational efficiency, relentless retaliation for betrayal, and zero tolerance for disobedience. He carries the NightFang and VoidFang — twin dark elven daggers — and is known to summon melee weapons from darkness and shadow through unknown means. The Silver Veil, the Hidden Lord, and multiple foreign war cults have placed bounties on him. All assassination attempts have failed — he usually winds up killing the assassins. Since assuming command, Starfaller has ordered the full eradication of Silver Veil cells in Arkest's Western Quarter, reorganized the Witchblade command under Frostkiss Winterbane, oversaw the Black Raven expansion, rejected peace overtures from three noble houses, and personally executed two company commanders for breach of contract.
