HISTORY

Mithralline Cort has had enough, and she’s not going to take it anymore!

In her youth, she was a cautious and curious sprite, who decided to attach herself to a human wizard, Benoin, someone to help show her the world and keep her safe in the process. It didn’t quite work out, however. Mithralline found herself often having to play the voice of reason, trying to keep Benoin out of danger. She urged against the trip into Ustalav; sure, she’d never been there before, but she heard stories. She cautioned that an expedition into the Gravelands could mean they’d never emerge; there were almost certainly places with more flowers and less dead things they could see. And when Benoin and his friends decided to head into Geb to steal a Grim Scepter, she warned them — most strenuously! — that they wouldn’t survive. Unfortunately, she was right. Her wizard and his friends had a little success, but soon enough found themselves overwhelmed with dead and all slaughtered, except for Mithralline herself, who ended up in the clutches of the vampire lord Malavarius Cort.

Caged for what seemed like an eternity, Mithralline couldn’t help but see her captor as he worked on blueprints at his nearby desk, and eventually old habits kicked in—she began giving her advice, and realized she had a knack for dealing with such things (if she were completely honest, Benoin was as much a thief as a wizard, and had often importuned Mithralline to put herself into danger and scout out ways into locked manors, banks, temples and other such places). Malavarius seemed to recognize her insight and soon began asking for her opinion, though he never allowed her out of her cave. Finally, one night, he approached and unlocked the door. Finally, Mithralline thought, she was to be freed in gratitude for her hard work and insights! She wasn’t sure if she was to be allowed to leave, or just not be caged anymore, but either way, it was something. She was wrong. Malavarius had no intention of freeing her; he’d simply needed a midnight snack and she was the only thing in his office. When he was done, Malavarius tossed her drained body back in the cage and disposed of it all with the compost (even the dead fruit and vegetables in Geb are expected to contribute to the country).

Malavarius had no intention of raising her as a spawn, but whether he’d made a mistake or the dead sprite’s rage was enough to animate her even beyond her life, she rose three days later, transformed both body and soul. Now a vampire, she also decided she would never again let herself be treated so cavalierly. Her advice ignored? Treated as a disposable snack? Never again! From the moment of her unbirth on, Mithralline Cort has decided to be a power.
