Dalmen Ferino is the Captain of the Guards for House Volkun. This gives him a station far beyond his rank; given the military supremacy of House Volkun, he is essentially one of the Jidoran Federation's Generals. He is a skilled fighter in person, having won considerable commendation for all of his skill there. It is well-known that Ferino's main loyalty is to Janos Volkun, as he is one of the man's oldest friends.
Personality
Dalmen Ferino is a quiet man in public. He knows his role well, and that is the role of a subordinate who loyally follows his master: Janos Valkun. He is sometimes seen as menacing; he is known to be a by-the-book commander with little sympathy for his subordinates. In private, however, he is a different man; he is talkative, gregarious, and charismatic, having mastered putting on two faces. There are rumors of his private behavior, including rumors of womanizing.
Magi
Dalmen is a Second Order Magi. He has no ability to craft magitech, but he was granted with a magitech infusion of magical energy that allows him to utilize spells to augment his own abilities. Like most Second Order Magi, his range of abilities is narrowly tailored for his own specialties.
It is widely thought that Dalmen is only a minor Second Order Magi. Publicly, he is thought to only have access to a handful of offensive spells. He can manipulate elemental energies at a minor level, hardly to the ability of others. He can also do minor scrying and the like. Such infusions are common among soldiers, and are more of a badge of honor than being intended for functionality.
The truth is that Dalmen has a carefully crafted selection of spells. His magitech infusion is meant to give him substantial stealth capabilities. He can move while invisible, make it so that he produces no sound, and even has the ability to cast the infamous Quick spell - allowing him to briefly stop time, for roughly a minute. He also has other, basic time manipulation spells. He can also magically poison a foe, blind them, or cause them to fall asleep.
