Aylens proper name is Halgana and she is a refugee from the order of the Crimson dancer. At the age of 12 she was introduced to the fighting order, since she was inclined to the martial arts. She was raised as many aspiring to become a knight. A few days before she was to become a formal knight, a lover of hers was brutally castrated and killed one night. She ran from Quimen the next day and sought refuge here with a distant relative and renounced her vows to Agrik.

Aylen has some insight into the working of the order and the Crimson dancers would pay a handsome sum to get a hold of her. Therefore Aylen keeps a low profile, but she still practices her fighting skills. She claims the status of shield maiden.
