Kallista was born to a tiefling father and a powerful demon mother, who was known for her cruelty and destruction. As a child, Kallista showed signs of demonic power, and her mother was quick to take notice. She took her away from her father and raised her in her own realm, where she trained her to be a ruthless killer and leader.
Kallista’s mother had many enemies, and she used her daughter to carry out her most heinous acts of violence. Kallista became known as the “Demon’s Daughter,” feared and respected throughout the realm. But as she grew older, Kallista began to realize the extent of her mother’s cruelty, and she grew resentful of her controlling ways.
One day, Kallista turned against her mother and led a rebellion against her. She was successful, but the cost was high. Kallista was scarred both physically and emotionally, and she became obsessed with power and control in a bid to fill that void. Making her way to Aranthaes, she quickly established herself as the leader of a powerful crime syndicate.
