In Aleph, you met one of a group of famous explorers dedicated to delving into the unknown and vanquishing evil known as the Legendary 7. No one is quite positive why these seven adventurers from such varying backgrounds and ideologies work together, but when they do come together, nothing can take them down. Alyssa Wallace, the warrior you met in Aleph, is a rogue who specializes in fighting with a single dagger and wearing no armor. Known as "The Invisible Blade", she is adept at faking out opponents, out-maneuvering them, and setting them up for a single devastating attack. She is also a Tiefling, an offspring of a demonic Tanar'ri father and a human mother. She has dedicated herself to annihilating fiends and is a champion of good.
The "leader" of the Legendary 7 is Lady Rachele of Metcalf, a holy warrior who models her combat abilities on yet another powerful swordsman of ancient times, Sunyartra. She is gifted with tremendous strength and the supernatural ability to penetrate even the most adamant defenses, as well as the ability to smite evil foes.
The group's most accomplished arcanist is the Illumian, Stormdreamer Baursek. He is known as "The Ultimate Magus", and commands a very unusual combination of innate sorcerous power and intensely-researched wizardry. While not quite as accomplished as a focuses arcane mage of either discipline, he makes up for it with a staggering array of spells and the ability to modify spells spontaneously with metamagic by sacrificing other slots or prepared spells.
The psionic elven archer Renthi is one of the more iconic fighters in the group. As a soulbow, he is able to fire arrows of energy that he somehow creates from nothing. Renthi can also create a longsword in a similar fashion, but his focus is primarily on his mind arrows, which he can launch with staggering speed.
Ballik is the sole dwarf of the seven. Known as "The Immovable Ballik", this Dwarven Defender can withstand nearly anything. He is also a skilled combatant and the strongest fighter among the 7 in a straight-up brawl.
Every group needs a skilled cleric, and that's where Jason Klein comes in. He refers to himself as a "Contemplative", a priest who seeks direct contact with his deity, Antioch. As a result, he has begun a divine transformation that has thus far rendered him immune to all disease and poisons, and has made his healing ability all the more potent.
Wrapping up the group is the exotic catfolk bard, Mianissa Singing Mountain. In addition to the standard bardic music repertoire, she has is undergoing training as a "Sublime Chord", a specialized bard that learns exotic music and gives her access to powerful arcane magic that rival's that of Stormdreamer.
It is widely speculated that these heroes will one day become epic warriors that will be sung of for generations.
