       Occupation:

       Personality:
       Ebony Coldsteel can be described as a stoic pragmatic, remaining
       calm under times of stress and finding the quickest solution
       available. He displays a professional demeanor in his worktime
       environment but becomes more casual off hours. A disciplined
       soldier, Ebony's time in the Lunar Guard has given him plenty of
       experience in combat scenarios and strategy. As a side hobby the
       Captain works on his culinary skills or training. As a Noctral
       he receives his fair shares of glances and stares from those
       around him. He pays them no mind as long as they don't interrupt
       his work.
       History:
       Born in one of a chain of villages in the far northern parts of
       Equestria, Ebony Coldsteel was raised with the training for
       hunting, tracking, and trapping. As he got older he was taught
       the martial arts, both hoof to hoof combat and with various
       weapons including the sword, spear, bow, and of course the
       signature Gemini daggers. While his mother Glacier taught him
       how to fight and hunt small and large game, his father Onyx
       instructed him on proper skinning techniques, preservation of
       meats, gathering of herbs and plants, and properly cooking what
       he's hunted and gathered. As the years progressed Ebony
       displayed tremendous skill and strategy, but also was risky as
       well. Later in his years a mysterious fire erupted in his
       village, his own home burnt to cinders, unfortunately his father
       Onyx wasn't able to escape the flames. As Ebony and Glacier
       mourn and recover from their loss, tales of the princess of the
       night returning spread through the villages. When it's confirmed
       that not only the tales are true, but a Lunar Guard was
       reforming to serve the ruler of the night, the two Noctrals
       enlist. Glacier's experience earns her the rank of captain,
       while Ebony himself becomes her lieutenant. With rigorous
       training, they and the guard become a formidable force for Luna
       and Equestria. Glacier though becomes injured, and steps down
       from her role as acting Lunar Captain after the final battle.
       Ebony now takes the new role and begins his first years in the
       city of Canterlot.
       Noctrals (aka: bat ponies) are a race of pegasi with dragon-like
       wings and eyes, hailing from the dark mountainous regions of
       Equestria. With the exception of their service to Princess Luna,
       they keep to themselves and are rarely seen.
       Noctrals are able to see in the dark, and are usually stronger
       and faster than regular pegasi, but at the cost of their
       affinity to the weather.
       The origin of the Noctral is shrouded in mystery and
       superstition. Some believe they descended from dragon and pegasi
       ancestry, but no evidence confirms this theory.
       Prior to the battle with Discord, no one had seen or heard from
       the Noctrals for centuries. The week before, a large contingent
       of them arrived at Canterlot to pledge their allegiance to one
       of the two Princesses. The Equestrian guard remains distrustful
       toward them.
       Some believe the Noctrals have trouble with controlling weather
       is somehow tied to their lack of feathers.
       Some Ponies hailing from the Tramplevanian Alps have
       characteristics resembling the Noctrals, like darker coats and
       tuffed ears.While they are not truly Noctrals in any way or
       form, the "Night Herd", as they are called, are said to be the
       result of Noctrals mating with "normal" ponies. Whatever the
       true cause for there physical traits, it breeds true.
