Background:
Ceinwynn was born in the Alabaster district. Not as an aristocrat mind you, but instead the bastard daughter of a house servant. Her mother had been "employed" as a maid in the house of Telvis Vandervale, first cousin of Mivonis Vandervale, for over fifteen years before her untimely death. Ceinwynn was only nine years old. With no known family outside of her mother, Ceinwynn continued living with the Vandervale family. She was responsible for many of the tasks her mother had been assigned. She worked hard for the family and earned the favor of the man of the house. He made sure his children's Halfling tutor would spend time in the evenings educating young Ceinwynn.
Born with graceful beauty, she attracted the jealousy of the women of the house, especially Vandervale's wife and two daughters. They treated her poorly, often mocking her as she cleaned. The daughters would parade around her when they received new ballroom gowns and discuss their social activities keeping Ceinwynn in ear shot. As time progressed, the jealousy increased. To make matters worse, Lord Vandervale's favor became more obvious as the half elf continued to grown into adulthood. On Ceinwynn's nineteenth birthday, Telvis' wife had seen enough. She demanded that her husband throw Ceinwynn out on the street. Knowing the girl had no where to go except Underbridge to eake out a meager existence and possibly have to turn to prostitution, the Lord secretly sent Ceinwynn to work for one of the local politicians who supported the Merchant's Guild. At this point, he offered the help only if Ceinwynn would meet have a romantic relationship with him. Though she despised the ultimatum, she did care for the only father she had ever known and wanted to please him and protect herself.
As the next two years progressed, she worked her way up in the the Merchant's guild and political scene of Magnimar. She found favor with several powerful men. She was trained in the art of deception and disguise. Her natural good looks and charming charisma aided in the success of her new career. As she progressed in power, she started refusing to meet with her former master though. This infuriated him, but she had gotten to a point where she could dodge him. Things were going well. She had always desired to be one of Magnimar's social elite, like the family she grew up with, and now she was attending important social events. She would work the room and report her findings to her boss.
During this time, she had also met a man who began teaching her the art of war. He also introduced her to Achaekek. Unknown to her, he is a red mantis assassin. After a year in a relationship, he disappeared about two weeks ago without warning. To make matters worse, everything suddenly changed when she returned from a political dinner one night to report to her boss and found him dead. She immediately went into hiding. Over the next few weeks, she contacted the very few she could trust. She is now in disguise in Dockway renting a room at the Old Fang. She awaits word from one of her contacts on her next course of action.
