Rakel

Rakel/Noreen was a Benalish fighter wife of Garth. In Arena, she left her Benalish city to fight in the arena to become a hero. Benalia has a caste system that rotates each year, the top ruling caste moves to the lowest and then upward. Her caste, the 7th, was on the bottom and as such, any upper level man could demand anything from her. As a hero was above the caste system, she wanted this considerably. She had a child, Hammen with Garth.

Rakel was charged with assassinating Gull and Greensleeves but instead became a commander of their army, disciplining the force. She is then camptured and tortured, only to be saved by Lily and Gull.
