A half elf Knight of the Order of the Fallen.
The Military Order of the Fallen, know as well as the Fallen Knights, was a demonic military order of northern Aels, part of the Confederation of Free Peoples -or known as well as the Dark Legion of Demons.-
Since the expedition of the Witch King of Dol'Nur succeeded in liberating from their prison the soulstones of the demon bazrrod overlords in Mount Demonatch, it seems the recently liberated Satman the Apprentice had already an idea of forming a group with his most loyal lieutenants, as part of the lesson learnt in the last years of the First War of the Power two centuries ago, where many times the demons -too independent-, didn't followed orders and commands, and pursuited instead their interests rather than the ones of the Council of the Demons:
Already during the reunification of the Dark Legion, the lieutenants of Satman had already played an important part as his more trusted envoys and servants.
However, it would be only after the dissasters of the Dark Legion against the Five Kingdoms of the Northwest in the Campaign of Sargos (2440 a.a.H) and the northern campaigns against the Sovereign Military Order of Nortender, that was acknowledged by Satman the severe lack of both heavy cavalry and forces loyal to the Dark legion rather than their own petty goals -exemplary of this was how while in the campaign of Sargos, a whole demonic army would be stopped because the orcish commander wanted to ensure a dukedom in his own, based on his own familiar disputes.-
Satman will then form the Fallen Knights after their enemies, the knights of the christian sovereign military orders. It's however unknown which was the precise origin of the first knights, and from where they got the knightly training and traditions: some point to renegade knights of the human kingdoms, who had swore allegiance to the Dark Legion during the dark hours for the Five Kingdoms during the Campaign of Sargos, while others think instead the demons and their servers learnt of the Knights and the Orders from slaves and slave-warriors, captured during these campaigns.
The Fallen Knights will come to be a force to be reconned within the Dark Legion, and while they weren't part of any of the Demonic Dark legion, they served as auxiliary forces fort the legions: and so, rather than to serve specific demonic princes, in their Oath they where to serve the interests of the Dark Legion as a whole.
Demon servers of all kinds -human, kanov, orcs, blood and dark elves, draak harg and beastmen- along with demons will join the ranks of the Order of the Fallen.
Owning allegiance only to the Dark Legion -and to Sataan, prince of demons, and his right hand, Satman the Apprentice-, the Order of the Fallen will grew in influence, as it was used to visit and overseer the demonic princes and legions to ensure their loyalty, being sometimes used to purge secessionist attempts.
Because of this loyalty to the Dark Legion rather than to specific demonic princes, many Fallen Knights will become generals of armies made up of legions that served many different masters -to avoid to repeat mistakes from previous campaigns and wars, where internal divisions and clash of commanders weaked the cohesion of the Legions.
While they weren't to be loyal to any demonic prince, most of the knights where very close to Satman the Apprentice: and he attempted to seize power for himself from Sataan and was banquished -becoming Satman the Fallen-, many of his closer knights will be pursuited or dissapear... however, while for some time the Order fell in disarray and infame during the War of the Four Black Kings, they will later reasume their role.
Among some of the most notable members of the Dark Legion was Saddeno, the Boatman, the werewolf Rippien the Tasteless, Raeder Raethbrod The Possessed and the demon Barreancar -first Sword of the Dark Legion-, the kanov Wilk and as well the darhake elf, overseer of the Order Sinture of Darkness.
Drawing based in an armor I saw somewhere in 9gag: somebody posted an image of a "realistic female armor" and then there seems to have been going some rather rabid discussion, as each one had a personal idea of what would be a "realistic female armor" XD
Edit 09.04.2016: Fixed!
Sinture of Darkness and the Kanov Wilk, -only mentioned- are creations of

She doesn’t seem particularly proud or happy. The non-demons in the Fallen Army must all be all too aware that they are slaves and are, essentially, fighting to protect their own chains.

Being a half-elf, one of my questions upon just looking at the pic was "male or female?". 
Indeed, I sort of wish that some category for 'realistic female armor' existed so I could peruse differing interpretations and choose my own favorites.
Wow, so Satman is indeed annoyed at Merrick for essentially stopping at Doorniik? After winning a big battle for the Dark Legion--and himself, he probably felt justified, especially as the central core of the army was almost absurdly massive, and seemed to have all the specialists it needed. Besides, Merrick was establishing a base for following invasions up north, and was screening the north against possible counterattacks from cutting supply lines coming from the Degoland Pass?
General Vortigern was doing likewise in the south after the southern fork of the Dark Legion that got bogged down in Erenian finally made its way up north?
One might argue that just as the North fork got stopped in Nortender by heavy cavalry, perhaps cavalry from Degoland, Sargos, and supplied by the River Guard (and other categories of human and elven forces) also played a role in stopping the Southern Fork in Erenian for a time?
I also wonder if lack of discipline, and lack of supplies, and the long distance to get to Erenian made the South Fork of the Dark Legion to lose its cohesion, and spend all its time in sieges and sacking and pillaging for treasure--and food?
Anyway, many instances occurred that showed that the Dark Legion had plenty of light forces, and powerful heavy shock troops like trolls and minotaurs and such, and invaluable specialists like the flyers of Succubae and Harpies, but low in heavy line infantry, low in cavalry, and very low in heavy cavalry.

Origins? I'm not sure, but Rippien the Tasteless was already present as a Dark Legion agent as of 2437 when he convinced the White Fang to join the Dark Legion of Demons, as first enforcers and recruiters to unify the Dark Legion, and also as a central part of a Mondwargh Legion themselves. So I think that the basic concept had occurred to Satman and others, and was even being enacted. Besides, the problem probably was also quite apparent in the Fall of the Dark Legion in the First War of the Power?
So I'm sure that some grand plan for 'Dark Legion Loyalists' and maybe great contingents of cavalry existed, but 1. there just wasn't time to develop it in mass before the Sargos Campaign, and 2. The Sargos Campaign did indeed bring home some of the weaknesses and also the opportunities to begin to correct the problem with captured knights becoming slave soldiers or turncoats and the concept of 'Dark Legion Loyalists' being converted to "Fallen Knights"?

For clarification purposes, the Island is Demonatch, and the Mountain is Satanmet? That is how they are defined in the Aiers Wiki. aiers.wikia.com/wiki/Demonatch

One should always ask that question with elves and half elves! XD
That would be interesting as well, such category... but for sure, that would begin flame wars for what it's or not realistic -or comfortable-! as an armor!!
And that was only an example -and a wink at theirishdreamer!- XD But remember that after a defeat -specially a crushing, unexpected one against all odds!- one should always look for somebody else to blame! : D
Merrik, Vortigern, Laisha, Pumori, Draco: basically anybody who could get blamed, would get blamed after all!
And indeed: before the official order, there where already agents of Satman acting as his proxies and lieutenants!
-regarding demonic cavalry: most of their cavalry was composed of Nutks (light horse cavalry) and the peoples of Barlans (Kanov horse cavalry), along with kanov Kazaakry, and orcs/goblins wolf riders... but indeed they lacked heavy cavalry!

For clarification Purposes: wiki is right, I'm wrong. I always keep inverting Satanment and Demonatch XU

Thanks for all the information. I knew about the Nutk horse cavalry, but their role as corsairs sort of overshadow that. I didn't know about the kanov cavalry from the Barlans, an area that tends to get forgotten. It remains rather amorphous in defining its people and historical role.
That southern fork that attacked the Five Kingdoms in the Sargos campaign might not have travelled quite so far after all. Lots of Kanovs might have joined from the Barlans?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In all the 3 cases -northern, center and southern army-, the core of the armies was from Polforia, and the other forces where auxiliary!!
For example to the point that only really very few Nutks where in this campaign, being an exception the odd Nutk, not the rule -Anutkahook was fighting his own campaign in the east against the Loranor Kingdom!-
However, as the center army did receive some marginal support from kanovs within the five kingdoms -the clansmen of the montangards, who never had accepted completely the human hegemony-, the southern army did received support from the Barlans... but being a smaller army, indeed the support was significative!
They where joined by Kanovs of the Kanov Confederation from the Barlans -being important the support of the Gorbegeos-.
In general, the Barlans was a rather lowly populated area: rather flat, a mix of grasslands, steppes and forests with some rolling hills, this area for long was home to nomadic Kanov people -while only around the Andäs lake and the west, there will rise some small sedentary kanov nations.
There where as well human settlements there -and some remnants of the beast men, who where pushed centuries ago by the Kanov eatswards, to the forests of Bierteno and Nubla.
The nomadic nations of central barlans built kingdoms and empires of great extension sometimes, but who had effective control only under the hooves of their horses and claws of their Kazaaks: in part due the raids and predations of the Kanovs of the Barlans, it's why Sargos made the River Guard -and the Hannian duchies rised to the south-
slowly, there would be attempts of the human realms to advance into the Barlans -as Erenian-, but not only militarily, but culturally: example of that it's the conversion of the Gorbegeos to christianity and further cultural adaptation to the Five Kingdoms!

Thanks for the information.
The Duchy of Hanian was large, powerful and semi-independent?
It would seem that the southern branch got delayed in Erenian for a time? There were still forces fighting there when Pumori and her White Fang warpack, and their Billiboncean Ozcura allies arrived.
Erenenian actually did have some reasonable defenses? I've wondered if the alchemists aiding the Sargonic ambushers that Pumori and Claw would have some difficulties with were local elves or half-elves able to use magic in their reagents when they made the 'anti-scent lotion' the Sargos warriors used?
Also, the Duchy of Hanian had great resources? Combined with the River Guard, Erenian defenders, and some Sargos-Degoland and maybe Tardos help, were able to halt the southern advance for a time?
One wonders if Vortigern headed south to help the stalled army, but was told to 'wait and see, and act as a southern screen for the central army pouring out of the Degoland Pass?
Did the Southern branch defeat the Duchy of Hanian and join up with the central army before the Battle of Millbridge? Or did it cross over the Osorio and Pointu Orielle and move north in Sargos?
Or was it secondary forces from the southern branch that benefited from Pumori capturing Pointu Orielle?

Similar names, but different!
The Barony of Hanat it's what are you thinking... but really, I meant, the Kingdom of Hannian aiers.wikia.com/wiki/Hannian which was made up by the Hannian duchies.
Until now, that you pointed it out, I hadn't noticed it how somilar they are named!
The Southern Army of the Dark Legion was compossed in 10 legions -numers on their forces estimate vary greatly: as a Legion could have only as 2,000 warriors the smaller formation, normally was around 6,000 and some of the largest formations (normally made up of ozcuras, orcs or goblins) up to 21,000 in extreme cases-, but in general estimates are of a force of around 40,000-80,000 strong -normally around 60,000.
Erenian didn't had a standing, regular army, and while there was resistence, it was scathered and the battle was lost beforehand: many of the Erenian settlers quickly retreated to the Western bank of the Osorio, and here in the south, the River Guard was a key defensive component: the fluvial navy delayed the dark legion, destroying bridges and guarding the Osorio, landing forces in the eastern bank for quick strikes in some areas where the Dark Legion tried to build bridges -they where reinforced by Tardic and Erenian-.
Delayed by the River Guard, the Dark Legion attempted instead then to cross the yet-unnamed river between Erenian-Hanat, that wasn't deep enough for many of the fluvial warships of the guard -and only for the lighter units-.
The River Guard reinforced Hanat, but couldn't avoid the Legion crossing the river -less when some quick skirmisher forces of the Dark Legion began to fall in their back, as whole Degoland began to collapse!-
Hanat was lost, Degoland was lost, and the order was to retreat to the Western bank. The River Guard had to send more ships to reinforce the Upper Osorio (Millbridge and other parts of the river), and weakened in their fluvial strength, they couldn't avoid the southern army of the Dark Legion crossing in several points -who among other things, will capture an intact bridge in Pointu Oirelle, by a surprise attack-.
The landings in the western bank in part, but the battle of Millbridge and order of retreat, will decide the River Guard -with Hanat and Erenian survivors- to join the army of Francisco, the King of Tardos who was marching to the north to join Camilo III.
With the River Guard retreating, the bulk of the forces of the southern army will cross the river -some will turn to the north, and join the main army, but only some small units. Most of the southern army didn't joined the main army.-
The Dark Legion there suffered a defeat against the army of Francisco, but it wasn't desicive, as Francisco continued to the north, but ensured that the southern army didn't pursuited them, bloodied and scrapped.
When was known the disaster on the plains of Sargos, the army basically disbanded: some tried to march across Degoland to the Pass, but most will only try to find a way to cross back to the Barlans, disbanding there.

Thanks for all the info!
In fact, it looks like Pumori never quite got to Erenian, but may have actually fought the Sargonic guerilla fighters and joined Claw in Hanat instead.
The capture of Pointu Orielle took place shortly before the Battle of Millbridge it would seem.

well, it have been stated she did arrive at Erenian, and Pointu Oirelle it's on Erenian, not Hanat! so the map isn't very precise!
