Nyssara Vel’thelis - The Succubus
She made you feel seen… didn’t she? That’s how it starts. That’s how all of them start.
Role in Its Society:
Nyssara Vel’thelis is not a demon of passion. She is a tactician of vulnerability—a succubus who forgoes simple seduction in favor of orchestrated emotional collapse. Where others tempt with lust, Nyssara builds entire relationships—only to twist them into obsession, dependence, and betrayal.
She serves no single demon lord, choosing instead to operate as a free agent for nobles, cults, and corrupt powers across Veridya and Eldervast. Her services are expensive—and paid in memories, secrets, or lovers' names.
She is infamous but untraceable, leaving behind broken alliances, cursed heirs, and suicides disguised as romantic tragedy.
Appearance Description:
Nyssara wears a mortal guise most often—tall, alluring, and disarmingly graceful, with obsidian hair, crimson lips, and eyes that mirror the viewer’s desire. Her infernal form is seldom seen, but when revealed, she sprouts leathery wings veined with silver fire, and her skin darkens to an iridescent amaranth hue. Her tail ends in a quill-like barb, capable of both caress and curse.
She wears a corseted gown of stitched shadows and perfume that smells like nostalgia.
Backstory:
Once a muse to a fallen archdevil in the infernal court of Duskwrought, Nyssara escaped her bindings when she seduced and unmade her captor’s mortal tiefling vessel. Her freedom came not by force—but by knowing what he needed more than he did.
Now she walks the material plane on her own accord, infiltrating courts, bardic colleges, and adventuring parties. She doesn’t hunger for souls—she hungers for scars. Her kisses don’t kill. They undo.
