Black Feather Rebel

In the wake of the Hive's crusade against the mortals of Baelan, the standing army is a distant memory. From the ashes, the largest volunteer resistance group are the Black Feathers. Known for the black feathers they wear in their hats, they are mainly made up of dispossessed civilians, vengeful fathers and sons and the descendants of those who died fighting the invasion a decade ago. They're poorly trained and equipped with basic weapons but their resolve is reinforced by their burning desire for revenge against the devil horde. Their commander, Darius Caroldo is a mercenary captain who has turned his rag tag companies lack of armour into an emphasis on Guerrilla warfare. The standard gear of a Black Feather Rebel includes short swords, hand crossbows and bucklers. A handful of them are conventionally armed with longbows but these are a rarity due to the strength required to use their weapons effectively.
