THE MERCENARY
Professional warrior of the Country of the Clouds, with quite a Quixotic ethical code. He's not a superhero but effective at work. For that reason, the Mercenary tries to have first quality weapons to compensate his inferiority in front of stronger enemies, and acts cunningly when necessary. He's a honest man who follows his own ethical code and is faithful to his promises.
We know very little about his life and nothing about his family, to such an extent that we even ignore his real name. We only have news of an adventure of his childhood that left a scar in his lip.
 
 
NAN-TAY
Young warrior in charge of the security and protection of the Order of the Crater who, to the Mercenary's surprise, turns out to be a woman. Trained by the Lama, she's educated and expert in many fighting techniques as well as in the use of all kinds of weapons. Of serious and responsible character, she has taken out the Mercenary of several difficulties.
When Claust began to mean a serious threat for the Crater and she needed some help for its security, the investigations took her to evaluate the Mercenary that after overcoming the tests, was admitted as her assistant.
Great-niece of the Lama, they came together to Earth when she was a child and their planet, Geos, suffered a catastrophe that killed almost all the human kind. Her grandfather Kay was not able to pass with them to Earth and so she returns every three years to the arrival point to wait for him.
 
KY
Sharp and brave young girl that comes from planet Geos. When accidentally a white layer covered the planet killing all human life beneath, those that would be her parents survived because they were wearing suits of pressure. Her mother died at her birth and his father some years later, but Ky miraculously succeed thanks to her unusual instinct for survival. Very skilled and alert, she learned by her own to drive all the vehicles that had been intact and disseminated by Geos.
She met the Mercenary during his first trip to Geos, but she only managed to pass to the Earth three years later. She encountered again the Mercenary and no she lives in the Monastery of the Crater.
 
THE LAMA
Old man that directs the Monastery of the Crater. He was an important scientific in Geos, a highly-evolved planet, and was sent to the Earth by his brother Kay to save his life.

 

 

 
CLAUST
Alchemist of the Country of the Permanent Clouds, he's astute, ambitious and mean. Mediocre as alchemist, his fortune and prestige are due to the formulas provided by the Lama in exchange of raw materials and opium. He hired the Mercenary as escort for his last trip to the Monastery and the circumstances hastened the warrior to start working as a security guard of the order. Very powerful since he stole the gunpowder formula from the Lama, the zenith of his power arrives when he discovers the way of using a black globe as a weapon.
Declared enemy of the crater's monks, for they are the only ones that obstruct his desires to control the Country, he has tried to destroy them several times without success.
 
ARNOLDO
As other monks of the Order of the Crater, Arnoldo comes from a country located under the layer of Permanent Clouds. His ability and ideas in his home Italy attracted the attention of the Lama who kept him under observation. So then, when Arnoldo was denounced for one of his experiments, the Lama was able to rescue him from diying at the stake and asked him to join the order.
Great inventor, Arnoldo dominates all the sciences of his time and possesses a great capacity to achieve considerable advances with the limited materials and tools of his time. This way, he invents devices like canyons, machine guns, submarines, etc.
