What/who they are: Eira is a spy and assassin for the South Atlantic Crown.
History: Eira was born to two young slaves in the King of Fyrkatâs household; it was a harsh life that saw her receive many beatings and lashings for her insubordination and many attempts to escape.
After many years of service Eira began to give up on her dreams of escape until a young man took pity on the slave-girl. The young warrior helped her escape and the fled into the night intending to leave Fyrkat forever. This turned out to be nothing more than a clever ruse concocted by a bored vampire.
Eira was left for dead in the frozen mountains but her transition had already begun, her body beginning to change. It took many nights for her to adjust, first living in a cave and denying herself the blood she required. Eventually she could bare the hunger no more and took her fill from a passing traveller.
Letting go of her inhibitions, Eira pulled herself together and decided to make the best of a bad thing, stealing a weapon from the travellerâs corpse she readied to return to the great hall and free her parents.
On her arrival she was greeted by the horrifying sight of her parents executed bodies, they had been hung for their reluctance to turn in their daughter. Driven mad with rage Eira swore revenge on the man responsible. Being a slave she had never killed anyone except the traveller but it didnât bother her, she crept into the slave-masters quarters at night and slit his throat drinking the spillage.
Eira, relishing the joy of the moment turned herself into an assassin, using her heightened senses and abilities to carry out the wishes of a paying customer against their enemies. After many years, Eira gained renown for her incredible skill and was hired by the South Atlantic Crown as the royal spy and the foreign advisor.
Skills:A skilled assassin, Eira is but a shadow in the night to her prey.
Eira is skilled with a sword and a dagger.
Due to her vampiric nature, Eira has heightened senses and abilities.
Other:Eira is a vampire and as such as heightened senses of smell, hearing and sight, she is also much stronger than an average woman of her size and stature. These blessings however bare a massive curse as Eira, like all vampires, is deathly allergic to sunlight and will turn to dust if staked through the heart.
