Andulasia hails from the slums of Bargarsport. An urchin, she worked the streets to earn a living, enduring unspeakable evils of men to survive. In her darkest hour, she turned to Asmodeus to plead vengeance upon mankind for her cruel and dark existence. Andulasia is a dark beauty, but scars (physical and emotional) of her past life are present upon closer inspection.

Devarsi graduated from the esteemed Shield Basilica of Muir, where she excelled in combat and warfare. Ten years ago, Devarsi discovered her platoon of recruits in the midst of murdering and ravaging an entire village. She unleashed a brutal rage upon them, slaughtering the men and women, even as they begged for her mercy. Her rage blinded her. For stopping the slaughter, she was awarded Muir’s blessing; however, for her uncontrolled rage, she was exiled from the Shield Basilica. Devarsi roamed the countryside in search of acceptance, her bitterness eating at her soul. It was not until she encountered Andulasia that she found comfort. She adores Andulasia and practically worships her like a deity. Devarsi is a tall, vigorous woman of obvious barbaric lineage. Her pale skin and thick blonde hair stand in stark contrast to her black raiment and armor. Devarsi has a companion named Marcrinus, a fiendish winter wolf that commonly harasses and thrashes Abhor Brazier’s hellhounds. Marcrinus is large enough for a Medium-sized creature to ride.
She despises Dealyn Rhó and wishes nothing more than to replace the high priestess with her beloved Andulasia. She hired Thurid Hrolf (Area B41-A) to assassinate the high priestess. With the foiled attempt and Thurid’s imprisonment, she is constantly on her guard, expecting retaliation at any moment.

This immense spotted lion stands as tall as a man at the shoulder, its fur matted with the blood of its victims.
