About Celafaer MorningfrostCelafaer Morningfrost, the Veiled Witch Background:
Celafaer doesn't share her history with just anyone, knowing that her enemies could use it to track down secrets about her past. Those close to her know she is from Velprintalar in Aglarond and that she left because of some self-perceived and no doubt one-sided rivalry with the Simbul, ruler of Aglarond, one of the Seven Sisters and Chosen of Mystra. Given her ambitious personality, it is likely Celafaer left because she saw opportunities for growth to be limited with such a powerful personality and overwhelmingly adept magician nearby. Chances are good that the Simbul doesn't even know who she is.
The Veiled Witch has been one of Arklem Greeth's most loyal supporters for decades and is a frequent representative of the Arcane Brotherhood in delicate matters. She is known to be as staunch a supporter of the Brotherhood's trade ambitions as she is a striver seeking personal opportunities to increase her own personal power. Appearance:
Celafaer is a beautiful, young moon elf woman. Pale skinned, dark haired, with dark eyes hidden behind an ever-present veil. She dresses modestly but in fine clothing and in layers of jewelry that draw the eye. Magical perception recognizes that much of her jewelry is enchanted. Rumor has it that her veil is a powerful artifact, which is why she is never seen without it.
She is often seen feeding or petting small animals, like birds or cats or dogs, and is frequently accompanied by one, though none stay around long enough to be considered a beloved pet. Personality:
Celafaer is an ambitious woman with a mercantile mind. Her focus is on two things- making money and spreading the Arcane Brotherhood's influence. The fact that this simultaneously improves her own personal power is not lost on anyone, least of all her. She is shrewd, calculating, and focused on the goal of making herself into a rich, powerful woman.
There are a few small cracks in this facade. One, she loves animals, even going so far as to sponsor a charity that takes care of lost or hurt domestic animals in Luskan. She can frequently be found hand-feeding small animals like squirrels or birds or cats or even mice, no doubt some quirk of her elven heritage. Some say, though, that this is cover for a secret ability to speak with animals or see through their eyes, and she uses street animals as spies. Stats:

In addition, elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Spellcraft skill checks made to identify the properties of magic items. Arcane Focus: Some elven families have such long traditions of producing wizards (and other arcane spellcasters) that they raise their children with the assumption each is destined to be a powerful magic-user, with little need for mundane concerns such as skill with weapons. Elves with this racial trait gain a +2 racial bonus on concentration checks made to cast arcane spells defensively. This racial trait replaces weapon familiarity. Low-Light Vision: Elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light. Arcanist FCB: Increase total number of points in the arcanist’s arcane reservoir by 1.
