Sylene Aderra

Captain of the 9th Company

Captain Sylene Aderra is a rising star within the 9th Company of the Redeemed Legion—young, sharp-eyed, and dangerous on horseback. She commands the mounted division, including swift lancers, spell-riders, and scouts, known for hitting hard and vanishing before the dust settles. Her riders are the wind that precedes the storm, and Sylene rides at their head with a glint of fire in her eyes and a blade of silver at her side.

How she came to the Redeemed Legion remains something of a mystery. There are no records of a crime, no whispers of disgrace, and no clear ties to any noble house. Some say she volunteered; others say the Church placed her for reasons known only to them. What is certain is that Commander Karina Kessler saw something in her—and personally fast-tracked her rise through the ranks.

Sylene has a reputation for recklessness, but she balances it with a sharp tactical mind and a knack for choosing her battles. She strikes only when the advantage is hers, and so far, she has never known defeat. Some call it luck, others call it arrogance—but those who serve under her know it as precision.

Despite her youth, she carries herself with the confidence of a seasoned officer. Proud of her standing and fiercely loyal to the 9th Company, Captain Aderra leads from the front, her banner trailing behind like a comet. She’s the kind of commander who earns loyalty not by rank, but by riding beside her soldiers into the thick of the fray.
