=== Tazqipy Miraj === | |||
An older [[kettek]] [[witch]] with ragdoll feline features, a pink nose, and piercing blue eyes, Tazqipy’s tall stature matches her strong, somewhat intimidating personality. She collects familiars in much the fashion that a cat might collect small birds or mice, although of course Tazqipy treats her familiars as cherished companions rather than prey. Her first familiar and the one with whom she shares the closest bond is a crawling familiar that takes the form of an albino weasel. | |||

Tazqipy sees it as her personal mission in life to find people who have the potential to become great leaders or important figures. She will observe these people for some time, quietly testing them by introducing a series of convoluted challenges to her subject’s life. These challenges become more and more difficult and have completely altered the lives of some folk, including [[Cyrus Drake]], whose parents died as a result of Tazqipy’s meddling. | Tazqipy sees it as her personal mission in life to find people who have the potential to become great leaders or important figures.

Tazqipy would argue that while events spiraled out of control in that case, she believed that she saw great potential in Cyrus. Now, some twenty years later, Cyrus is a major national figure in Nalatheshi politics, and Tazqipy believes that he is causing a positive difference in Nalatheshi culture. Unsurprisingly, Tazqipy has a neutral or nonexistent stance on what is good and what is evil, as she is willing to commit traditionally evil acts if she thinks that the results will lead to good in the world. | Tazqipy would argue that while events spiraled out of control in that case, she believed that she saw great potential in Cyrus.

Besides seeking out subjects to improve in her own twisted way, Tazqipy’s other driving motivation is to regain the trust of her mentor, a much older witch named Grunhilda who abandoned her shortly into her training as a witch. Having viewed Grunhilda as a surrogate mother, Tazqipy was deeply hurt by this abandonment and feels that it must be some kind of trial that she must overcome in [[order]] to be accepted again. Tazqipy hopes that by creating similarly contentious dilemmas for prominent individuals, she will catch the attention of Grunhilda again and be able to complete her formal training - and more importantly, repair their relationship. This makes her something of a wildcard, and she may work with or against the heroes in different situations. | |||
==== '''New Target''' ==== | |||
Tazqipy recently set her sights on a new target who she believes is destined for great things: [[Zaiden Destev]], the leader of the Sandsnakes. While the Sandsnakes are a relatively new organization that have thus far managed to escape the Godking’s watchful eye, Tazqipy has gathered enough information about them to be thoroughly impressed by the work of Zaiden. She believes that they have the power to shake things up in Nalathesh, despite their [[criminal]] background, or perhaps even because of it. | |||
