Contact: tesarikone - If you need information about the developing storyline surrounding Magdelana and her child, and Dunsany.
Name: Lady Magdelana Moretti (Hexenthal)
Nickname: Magda
Title: Queen of Dunsany
Alignment: CN
Age: Appears 20's
Height: 5'10"
Hair: Jet Black
Eyes: Darkest Blue
"Son": Hampton Moretti (Toddler)
Aaron ripped Hampton out of his mother's womb, killing her, and gave the child to Magda to raise as their child. The child had an unholy baptism - what that did to him we do not know quite yet. When Aaron died, and the control was gone, they could not find any relative of the child so Magda has decided to raise him. He is a beautiful child, with curly blond hair, and green eyes with a tendency to get into lots of trouble. Magda has her hands full, and is fully convinced she will be able to raise him up in a way that he will not follow that unholy path formed into his soul by Aaron Hexenthal's unholy baptism.
Description: Lady Moretti is regal and beautiful, a noble of the ancient kingdom of Dunsany. Her hair is long and straight, jet black in hue and her eyes are a deep dark blue. Her skin is ivory, as was the fashion of her time. Tanned skin was for the peasants, who worked out in the sun all day.
Personality: She is intelligent, well-read, and soft-spoken. She has deep regret for things that happened while she was under the control of Aaron Hexenthal, though she herself did nothing evil during that time but she stood aside while Aaron did much evil, and torment. She has a noble bearing about her, and has a great curiosity for this "new world" she has been brought back into. She still feels "dirty" due to the Hexenthal situation.
Background: Lady Moretti died young back in Dunsany, some say the target of a spurned suitor. Aaron Hexenthal, Prince of Dunsany, was so taken with her that he intended on making her his wife and queen, but she died before that could happen. Using a True Rezz spell, Aaron raised her from the dead and put her under his vampiric command. She speaks the Ancient tongue, as well as a few others that a woman of that time would learn in noble courts. She has been learning the current common tongue as well.

When your foes look at you, they can't help but think that they might be able to get some money for you…if they keep you alive. For whatever reason, intelligent creatures that value wealth that see you get the feeling that you might be worth something to someone. It could be because you're a known member of a wealthy and prestigious family, or it could be that you're known to be a favored agent of a powerful noble, or it could just be that you wear expensive clothing. Whatever the reason is, it makes people think twice before killing you. Upon being attacked, you may roll a Diplomacy check against the attacker's Strike roll, if you win, the attacker will think twice about killing you and instead subdue you in some way. Once per combat.
