Raised in an environment that blended ritual piety with pragmatic manipulation, Lydia believes that divine will favors only the adept and the cunning. Her calm, calculated demeanor conceals a surprisingly sharp tongue and an ability to argue theological points as forcefully as she casts protective spells.
Motivations
Lydia’s role is twofold: bolster the Syndicate’s members with healing and buffs, and sow discord among those who are spiritually or morally weak. She’s also known to perform “miracles” that lend an air of inevitability to Cassius’s long-term plans. When required, she can be a formidable presence on the field, wielding divine retribution against those who oppose her.
Background
Once a devoted acolyte, Lydia now combines divine magic with a strategic mind honed by the political intrigues of the academy. Her calm, almost eerie, composure under pressure makes her both a compassionate aid to her allies and a terrifying opponent to those who defy her divine mandate. She is the sole heiress of the chief of Medicine in the Institute of Magic in Durdahal, in the only rich neighborhood of the city. She is a redhead with a braid along her back decorated in white pins and flowers. She wears her family's sigil, which is a viper entangled in an oak stick.
