Hale was born as the 32nd child of royalty; daughter to one of many harem wives. Being only the 32nd child, and a girl at that, meant she had little impact on the progression of rulership - and as such she had little responsibility. But as a princess she was afforded every lavish luxury and pleasure that can be bought with money or blood; and in Katapesh everything has a price. It comes as no surprise that Hale is a self-centered and spoilt girl.
A powerful presence and astonishing beauty, Hale's fascination with lust is as much due to nurture as it is to nature. But the excessive indulgences she's enjoyed in two decades of life have already twisted her from simple carnal pleasure to more deviant demands. She's become particularly enamored with the pleasing principles of pain, thinking of more traditional intimacy with men with disdain.
Over time Hale's excesses and expectations have become extravagant to the extreme. She has become quite driven, seeking out danger avidly and embracing a wild life that she anticipates will drive her ever closer to her ultimate goals: she dreams of ascension and bearing the child of a god.
Right now, however, she drifts towards Kelmarane her eyes set to explore the monstrous infestation of the region. Specifically she suspects that the one called the Carrion King may be her first stepping stone to the greatness that will see her ascend the heavens.
