Yes. :)

1. Natela Tamaya Murk - A young Human Hunter in her late teens who has the distinction of being one of the few Guardians chosen from among the living. She ventures out beyond the wall in order to secure (misappropriate!) the Glimmer needed to treat her younger sister's life threatening illness. Unlike most Guardians, Natela has no previous combat experience from a former life. Instead, she is having to learn as she goes.

2. Tesni Jarmila - A tall, powerful, Awoken Titan. Born Human, later becoming an Awoken out in the deep black, Tesni endured a long first twenty years. She escaped the Earth as a small child only to return to it as a young adult having grown up on the mishmash of ships and wreckage that would, centuries later, become the Reef. She came back as part of an Awoken expedition in search of what seemed to be a city being built beneath The Traveler. She never did find that city, however, as her expedition's ship was shot down above North America.

As the sole survivor of the crash, Tesni's strange blue skin, strong, stubborn attitude, and stories of a distant safe city lead her to become something of a leader to a group of refugees desperate to escape the harsh realities of post-Collapse civilization. Astonishingly, Tesni was able to defy city states and warlords as she lead the way towards The City she herself only half believed in. Her luck, as it was, finally ran out though when the container ship she and her followers eventually managed to commandeer was fired upon and sunk off the coast of Galveston Island, just one step away from the safety of the open ocean. Centuries later, Tesni was revived by her Ghost among the ancient washed up debris that marked her demise.

Now in her mid forties, Tesni is regarded as something of a Legend having successfully fought in defense of The City for the better part of twenty years.

3. Abner 4c6173746e616d65 - A long surviving Exo who is unable to properly access his last name. Abner heard rumors of The City in the years following the Collapse and began a long globe-spanning journey, on foot, to find it. Unfortunately, slavery under the ownership of one Human warlord or another delayed his arrival by multiple centuries. He was finally killed in the midst of a Fallen attack in the heart of Old Russia but was returned to life by his Ghost just days later. Now, Abner steadfastly serves only his own interests as a wise but deeply bitter Warlock.
