Sylra Vanthelle
Elegant and elusive, Sylra Vanthelle pulls the strings behind masked balls, backroom deals, and whispered blackmail—half the city’s nobility owes her a favor, a secret, or a debt.
Name: Sylra Vanthelle
Race: Half-Elf
Class/Role: Matron of the Nightshade Veil (Rogue – Mastermind)
Age: 42
Appearance: Sylra is the embodiment of high-society grace cloaked in underworld power. She moves with effortless poise, her tailored violet gowns woven with subtle thieves’ cant embroidery. Her eyes—one emerald, one sapphire—seem to catalog every person in the room with a glance. A silver-threaded shawl drapes over her shoulders, and she always carries her lacquered cane, which hides a razor-edged blade within. Despite her presence at many noble events, her true loyalty lies with the shadows.
Backstory
No one is quite certain where Sylra began—some say she was once the cast-off daughter of a noble house, others claim she clawed her way up from the gutters. What is known is that she now leads the Nightshade Veil, a syndicate that blends thieves’ guild cunning with the poise of high society. Sylra’s power lies not in brute strength, but in knowledge: secrets traded, scandals suppressed, and favors owed. Her operatives attend masquerades as easily as they slip through windows, and her network spans from street urchins to aristocrats.
