The Fanatics have taken the intense devotion of the Zealots to another level.

They are dangerous opponents who can make quick work of a foe if they are allowed to approach too close.

The Devotees are extremely loyal members of the Talons whose bodies have been deformed in a more avian fashion than others of the group, with feathered wings sprouting from their backs. They are elite hunters, with tremendous talent as archers. Like the Huntresses, they can ensnare their targets. However, their greater skill and attunement to the mystical arts has given them the ability to shoot arrows of fire and ice.

The Oracles were once women who held a latent connection to the mystical elements.

See article: [[Sorceress Serene]]

Even when she was a young woman, Clarissa Moore was clearly a powerful mystic. Back then she was much more open and forgiving. She felt safe and hopeful for a bright future when she was taken in and taught the wonders of elemental magic by her coven. They became her family.  When Diabolique slaughtered them all, Clarissa barely escaped the same fate. She was nursing her wounds when the Furies found her and gave her a new kind of hope... the hope for revenge. Since Diabolique is allied with Tyrant, Clarissa is a focused and uncompromising ally in the Furies war against Marcus Cole and all those who serve him.
