Coming from a long line of Hellknights, who have served in Westcrown under the Order of the Rack for generations, Nalia surprised everyone, not least herself, when on her eighteenth birthday she resigned from the Order in order to pursue her own path. Given the highly paranoid nature of Cheliaxian life, she didn't mention to many, except close friends, that this change in her life was inspired by her conversion to the service of Iomadae, which itself was inspired by her illegal explorations of the ruins of the local ruined Pathfinder lodge.
Of course, these explorations happened to be discovered by others within the Cheliaxian authorities, and in fear for her life, Nalia fled Cheliax, and used the skills she had to set herself up as a guard, man at arms, caravan escort, bodyguard and anything inbetween. She recently found herself in Riddleport, looking for work and coin, hopefully just a quick job to tide her over till something better comes along, or she dies.
