About Maya "The Edge" Palersin

Maya earned the name of "The Edge" some years ago while working for the Sczarni in Ustlav. She joined the organization at a young age, rising in the ranks and going to the jobs no-one would take. That is at least until some years ago.

The Sczarni wanted Maya to steal an eccentric item from a house. However, the client was not a patient fellow, and had hired multiple guilds to steal the artifact at the same time. When she arrived at the scene, three thieves had already entered the house and were all attempting to retrieve their mark viciously. Maya was able to sneak past the commotion, and found the artifact before the rest of the infiltrators. Sadly, the escape was not as easy.

The last surviving thieves, noticing Maya's entry into the vaults, had teamed up together to kill her in order to stop "that woman" from leaving with the relic. Maya knew that there was no way around a fight, but she came prepared. With her short sword and dagger, she was able to cut through these thieves with relative ease. They didn't call her "the edge" for no reason...

Blood splattered the floors outside the vaults. Maya took them both out, but not without suffering pretty heavy wounds herself. Cleaning her face up, she noticed a note in one of the thief's hands. Not a note... but a contract. A contract for Maya's head, and it was commissioned by her own guild! One of the Sczarni higher-ups was trying to get her out of the way...

Before she could make more sense about what she just discovered, a door flung open revealing an older gentleman. He had a surprise look on his face, as he realized what had transpired in his house. Maya had no will left to dispose of this man, and was not paid to do so. She is no senseless assassin. The man stepped into the room, stood pensive for a moment and simply said: "My, looks like you need some help. May I provide you with some?" Maya knew that in these parts, help usually came with a price. He introduced himself as Professor Lorrimor, and he offered Maya not just assistance, but the offer of hiring her for her services in the future.

Over the years, the professor paid handsomely for these "private contracts," and Maya was able to use her free time to discover more information on why the Sczarni wanted to off her. Nothing would stop Maya from learning the truth behind her betrayal. But she recently got a message from her old patron. Or at least, his estate. She was to present herself to his house for the reading of his will, where her name was mentioned...
