Esmeralda wasn’t supposed to survive. Her mother, a Nidalese servant to a minor noble house, had had the dalliance with the handsome elven adventurer at a reception held at the residence. The elven “gentleman” was gone the next morning, yet Esme’s mother knew there was something of him that remained.

Her mother attempted to keep the pregnancy a secret, as the Lord of the House (as he preferred to be known), frowned upon any of his staff having indication of having desires not slaked by the privilege of serving. Once the Lord of the House was made aware of Esme’s pending arrival, it was a fair estimation that Esme’s mother would be out of a job, and perhaps an eye or a thumb, depending upon the Lord’s mood.

And yet, that might have been a more desirable end-result. The Lord turned Esme’s mother over to his wife, a Qadiran of cruel mien, who decided that Esme’s mother would be a perfect addition to the group of women she was grooming to act as her husband’s harem - a birthday present she chose to reflect her cultural heritage and satisfy her husband’s depravity.

Esme’s mother was used lightly until she gave birth to the young half-elf. Once it was noted that a mongrel child was the product of the pregnancy, Esme’s mother’s use expanded exponentially, and the pain-lettings began.

A faithful of Zon-Kuthon, The Lord of the House, inflicted disgusting and taboo horrors on his harem (and sometimes his wife, who found another use for the harem to shield herself). When he was found assassinated for crossing a prominent member of the Midnight Council, their joy was short-lived, for despite being freed from a decade of everyday terror, their abrupt dump out of a dependable life of daily servitude meant they were helpless on the streets of Nisroch.

Esme’s mother and Esmeralda, in too-short order, became adept at selling their bodies for sustenance. Her treatment at the hands of The Lord of the House had sapped Esme’s mother of much of her fortitude, and she succumbed one cold winter to the Void, Esmeralda at her side.

Esmeralda made a vow on her mother’s deathbed to live, to strike back at her enemies and the subjugative weight she lived with, to turn the twisted carnal desires of the Nidalese back upon them as per the cruelest blade. And one night, she had a vision of Calistria.

A shining yellow-and-black woman with the lower half of a wasp came to her in a dream and told Esmeralda of her destiny to wreak vengeance on those who had wronged her chosen flock - the courtesans and prostitutes who knowingly and unknowingly dealt in Calistria’s life-blood: secrets.

Esmeralda awoke, a young half-elven woman infused with righteousness, and found the strength to talk her way out of Nisroch and onto a ship to the only place she knew of where she could be guaranteed of learning of Calistria: the city of Absalom.

In Absalom, Esmeralda further sacrificed, scraped, struggled, and slunk through shadows, both literal and figurative, to find those who could teach her. She hardened her heart to mercy for the unmerciful. She learned to be more devious than the most devious. She learned how to give of her body without giving anything else away. And she learned secrets, and secrets, and more secrets.

She learned the secret power of what it meant to do good, and offered herself to the Pathfinder Society as an unorthodox response to their needs. Calistria willing, there will be more results to preserve her work than reasons to dismiss her within a short time.
