Lorraine Septh

Lorraine Septh is a human headhunter who works as a freelance mercenary in Vansreik. She is described as determined, honourable and loyal.¹

Early life

Lorraine grew up in the household of the infamous bandit captain Albus Sept. He mistreated her mother and paid no heed to Lorraine's existence, and her hatred of him grew. When she was fifteen he became a wanted man, hunted by the Legions and by many noble houses. Tired of his abuse and of the violent life around her, Lorraine reached a breaking point after a bitter argument.²

Lorraine is Albus Sept's daughter. On the night of that argument she killed her father with a kitchen knife, took his well-known blade and belt as trophies, and set out for a nearby town.²

Apprenticeship

In a nearby town Lorraine met the headhunter Clement Threecrows, who offered her shelter and work as his apprentice, and she accepted without hesitation. Over ten years at his side she sharpened her skills and gathered experience. When she set out on her own, she parted from her mentor and close friend with a promise to meet him again every summer in Whiterun.²

In Vansreik

Knowing that the richest headhunting work lay in the Westreach, Lorraine went to Vansreik, where she patiently waits for jobs that will build her name and legacy. She prefers head hunts and specialises in fighting bandits, and she will not kill innocents or enemies who yield.²

In battle

Lorraine is a highly skilled swordswoman who fights with a rapier, and she also carries a hand crossbow. She likes to lure enemies out of their positions and excels at fighting them in the open, wearing them down with hit-and-run tactics and taking advantage of their mistakes. Against several foes she goes for the backline first, moving swiftly on spellcasters to cut them down before the battlefield is engulfed in magic.²
