Nyx is a skilled half-elf rogue who serves as Orilia Thorne’s personal assistant, scout, and infiltrator. Her nimble fingers and sharp mind make her an expert at picking locks and disarming traps, and her shadowy abilities allow her to move unseen and unheard through even the most dangerous environments.

Raised far from Aranthaes in the distant eastern lands, Nyx carries herself with a reserved elegance that sets her apart. She dresses simply, but her eyes miss nothing, and her calm demeanor hides a ruthless efficiency. Utterly loyal to Orilia, she has become indispensable — the quiet whisper in her employer’s ear, the unseen blade that strikes before a threat is even known.
