Ifanelle
Ifanelle is an infiltrator of the Morenar, working under the heretic mercenary Blaze. She was once a member of the Owls, and an honourable one: an infiltrator who worked for the good of the Empire.1
Abandoned by the Owls
With the passing of time Ifanelle was forgotten and abandoned by the very organisation she had sworn her oaths to, when the leadership of the Owls changed. Because she knew too much she became a high-priority target, hunted by the Owls' new leadership and by the Empire's intelligence service.2
The Morenar
She was on the run, stopping in the crater of Vansreik while she waited for passage to Neptune, when she met members of the Morenar. Her contacts in the city led her to Blaze, who wields fiendish magic. Blaze loved her anger, seeing in her the same rage that fuelled his own motives, and he knew she would become an important asset to the Morenar, so he hastened her initiation. She now works under him and is in her first year of service.2
When a Scarlet Spears battalion had cornered the bandit captain Sigusmund the Boar, Ifanelle approached him disguised as one of the Spears. She warned him and offered a choice: join the Morenar with all his men and plunder, or die at the hands of the Scarlet Spears. She then led the bandits along a treacherous mountain path to a dozen Morenar guardsmen waiting with horses and supplies to tend their wounds.3
Style
Ifanelle is an opportunist who stalks her prey and attacks only when it is at its weakest. She is usually the one to begin a fight, and her aim is to kill lightly armoured enemies as quickly as possible. Her favourite work is assassination and blackmail.2
