Elven Revenants

These figures are the (often unseen) hand of the Elven government. They are given almost complete freedom and often plentiful resources, as they are expected to carry out the will of the Confederacy’s leaders without said leaders having to take much or any responsibility or accountability for the actions of their operatives. The Revenants are those that do what needs to be done for the government without the government having to ever confirm it. They are allowed to operate outside the law, or even enforce it where needed, making them generally respected throughout the Confederacy, either out of awe or fear. When explained to outsiders, they are sometimes more easily described as a cross between government sanctioned assassins or spies, and knights. While this may seem strange as the Elven Confederacy generally doesn’t operate as one power, nor does it have a true central government, the Revenants are a special exception. At the annual gathering, the states jointly vote on and approve the instatement of new Revenants as needed. At this point, a Revenant is no longer tied to any single state, but considered a tool or resource for the Confederacy as a whole. Any state head can call upon a Revenant as needed, regardless of their origin, though many tend to operate in their home nation state to maintain balance.
