| + | #REDIRECT [[:Category:Gewehr Wraith]] |
| - | The '''Gewehr Wraiths''' are a guild of mercenaries. They originally operated only within [[Farrel]], but expanded into [[Veracia]], with the assassination of [[Connel]]. This action has drawn extremely hostile attention from the [[Ensigerum ]], who have all but decided to eradicate them, as mentioned [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2005-04-11 here].

| - | "Gewehr" is German for Rifle.

| - | ==Abilities==
| + | |
| - | So far they have displayed a proficiency in [[Firearms | firearms]], and maybe even a preference for them (shown [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2005-03-16 here], where a knife or dagger would've been arguably a more efficient and silent way of killing). More than likely, they are heavily trained to use and maintain projectile weapons, giving them an advantage over other assassination/mercenary organizations using more "traditional" or "primitive" weaponry. However, we know from [[Jon Amraphel | Jon's]] bit of male bonding with [[Ian Samael]] that they're not bad at hand-to-hand combat either. Jon has indicated that they know something about magic, whether or not they're practitioners.

| - | * [[Anne]], the little old lady who made the hit that created the animosity with the [[Ensigerum]]

| - | * [[Gabriel]], apparently the big enchilada of the outfit (at least that we've seen so far)

| - | Other members have appeared from time to time, but haven't been named yet. Jon has [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2003-05-12 alluded] to a body of "elders" who make the strategy decisions for the Gewehr, but they haven't put in an appearance yet either, unless Gabriel is one of them (likely).

| + | |
| - | #Um... yeah, it's pretty obvious that, before being awkwardly wedged into ES, the Gewehr were originally created for a story I was planning about a group of samurai in feudal Japan who encountered firearms for the first time and immediately decide to adopt them as their favored weapons in place of the katana, causing them to be shunned by the rest of Japanese society and eventually degrading into a group of ninja like mercenaries.

| - | #The funny thing is Proto-Jon and Proto-Sara both started life as basically the same character. I just could never decide if I wanted the main character to be a smart ass guy in his late twenties, or a sullen, nearly emotionless girl... beside gender/personality, they were nearly identical, same outfit, (okay, almost, the female version didn't have pants) same background, etc.
