High General "The General" Thomas Hall:
Lore:
Thomas was born as the second out of three childs in the late 19th century. His father and mother were simple people that had to work hard to feed the family. After Thomas was born, his mother began to suffer from severe depressions, which the doctor said can't be healed without expensive medicine. Due to that the hole family went to work in the same factory as the father to collect the money they needed to safe the mother and to keep the family above financial waters. They didn't want to include the mother, in fear, that her mental health would get even worse.
With an age of 10, Thomas started working many days in the largest steel factory in London. During that time he and his 2 brothers had to work in the mines that lied under the factory, 14 hours at minimum and under inhuman conditions. During that time Thomas recognized that his father wasn't always working in the mines. When he talked to him, his father told him that he also worked as an engineer from time to time, although the factory only paid him the same wage that he gets from working in the mines. If he didn't accept it that way, they would fire him immediately.
Several months later, Thomas got the task to buy new shovels in the town. When he came back from it, he heard that there was an accident involving a lot of people down in the mines. Thomas started crying, dropping all the shovels and running into the factory to see that it wasn't the mine his family was working in. But it was.
A few days later his mother took her own life. She couldn't get over the death of her family. From that on, Thomas had to live on the streets. Lone and hoping to collect money from the rich to keep him alive. One day a soldier came by and saw Thomas lying on the streets. He talked to Thomas and told him that he knew him from his dad's engineer work in the factory and that he feels sorry for his hole family. He offered Thomas a position as soldier in the army. His well trained body from the work in the mines would fit perfectly for that. Thomas accepted.
With a never ending fury, Thomas started to became one of the best tactical and talented soldier in the army. Also his mechanical knowledge he got from his dad took him all the way to the top. He became the high general of the army.
After a few years, once he got back from war, he heard a general saying that the accident may have been the best thing that happened to Thomas. After asking the soldier what he meant, he told him that this accident was planned by the rich to get rid of some of the exhausted workers in the mines in order to have space for new ones. Thomas fell in rage, instantly killing that soldier for saying that and started to plan revenge for his family.
In the evening Thomas arrived in the factory. Due to his mechninical knowledge he got from his father and that he trained in the army, it was very simple for him to mix two or three important pieces up to set the hole factory in less than 3 minutes on fire. He was standing right between the flames, the same flames that he used to kill so many others in the war. He wanted to die there in the same way. That was the moment the entity saw her chance to take him and his never ending bloodlust against the rich ones, who would sacrifice others for small business profits.

Amy was the best in her class, her father could have also sent her to a private school but he wanted to have his daughter as less social distancing as possible. In fact, Amy had many friends due to her friendly and assisting attitude. She would never leave someone helpless and woudln't give up on her duties and tasks aswell. Since she was 18 years old, she got a lot of offers to work for almost everything she dreamed off.
