Bio:
Brigantia was always an unhappy child. Looked down upon by her pure-blooded siblings, and scorned for her human taint by her grand parents and extended family. From a young age, she grew to wish that she had no real relation to the people who raised her as their own, often entertaining such romantic ideas as joining a travelling carnival or mummer's group, or some other such thing.
So when Labrae appeared to her, it was hardly a frightening event. The Mother of Crows was perhaps the first adult who'd appeared to show kindness to Brigantia, and having heard her pleas from afar, offered to take her away from the family that never wanted her. Overwhelmed with a sense of belonging, Brigantia quickly stowed away what things she wanted to keep into a travel pack, and left with Mother.
Far from the bitter cold of her homelands, Brigantia took to the warm lands of Yaralon with enthusiasm. She learned the craft of weaving from her new siblings, who treated her far more friendly than her half-siblings and cousins had. When it came time for her to leave Labrae's nest, she did so reluctantly. She was nonetheless braced by the love the Mother had granted her, and took it with her outside of Yaralon, to experience the world beyond.
Her travels took her all along the Eastern regions of Idalos. Along the way, she used the wiles Labrae and the other webspinners had taught her to seduce a mage into teaching her the ways of magic. She forged a relationship with this man, and even married him for a time. Theirs was a tumultuous relationship, which didn't end until a freak accident with a magical missile from Brigantia's hand ended his life.
Brigantia never loved another after that incident, but took on trists here or there as needed to advance her interests and those of the Webspinners.
She fled justice as the jaws of consequence began to fall above her leaving to relocate in Westguard, Etzos. She relied heavily on her magical abilities to see her through the dangers of the wilderness. Eventually she did arrive at that final destination. Since then, she’s had only token interaction with other webspinners, yet awaits the Divine One’s call to action, as well as that of the Mother of Crows.
She lived for decades in Etzos, developing her magical capabilities, especially those relating to Transmutation.
Brigantia helps Sintra and Labrae whenever they need her. Often taking webspinners under her wing when they need a place apart from Labrae, for some 'emotional adjustments'. As a master mage, she commands a good amount of power and influence within the Webspinners, but has yet to teach even one student.
As one living independently of the Webspinners at the moment, she is not in regular contact with Labrae or her brood, plying her weaving crafts as a front for her activities as a mage and webspinner, and promoting her old family whenever it is required.
Appearance: She's grown old, but still rather tall as a half-breed ellune. She stands at 6'4" with snow-white skin, and black, salt-pepper hair. She wears the finest of garments, and always carries a cane around with her while out and about in Westguard in Etzos. She's also a habitual smoker, carrying the trappings of that hobby: A pipe, and tobacco in a pouch. The ease of her lifestyle betrays her affluence.
Reasons for taking on students: She would only grant an initiation to a fellow Webspinner, and never any other. As such, when Woe appears at her doorstep, they get to negotiating the prices of clothing. Eventually it becomes clear to one another that they are in the presence of another Webspinner, and forge an accord of sorts.
Woe wishes to learn magic from her when he realizes she is a mage, in order that he might serve the Divine One better.

Name: Stoll Moritan
City Location: Ne'haer
DoB: 23rd of Vhalar 665
Race: Human
Organization: Stone Dungeon torturer.
Skills:
Hone (Umbral): 76
Attunement: 40
Abrogation: 26
Torture 76
Unarmed Combat 26
Bio: Stoll is a professional, who worked on behalf of the authorities in the Stone Dungeons. Here, he was almost made a warden, but thrown out for visiting cruel and unusual punishment on the wrong inmate. The inmate was well connected, and when he died it went out to the underworld who was responsible for it. As Stoll was nobody important, it was a simple matter to discredit him.
Since then, he's been disgraced and cast out of society, reviled by those above and forced to live out his life in the Underground. The family of the inmate he killed wished for him to be imprisoned, but his might in magic prevented them from apprehending him. As such, the administrators of the Stone Dungeon decided that the Underground would be his prison.
There he stalks the Underground halls, looking for heretics to bend, break, trap, and destroy. His Spark of Abrogation has grown accustomed to his need to enact justice upon the deserving (In his opinion), while the Hone Spark delights in the art of torment, and seeks to unleash new and innovative ways to break his quarry.
Since his disgrace and removal from his post, he's mostly a thing of rumor, stalking the Underground for victims that he deems menaces to society. He has very little influence anymore, and has never really been much of one to fight for his place in society. He's content to do as he does in the Underground.
Woe at first encounters Stoll when he tries to visit the Shrine of Sintra in the Underground. He takes Woe (rightfully) for a heretic, and attempts to trap him. He succeeds, and in a series of threads keeps him prisoner in his hideout. There, he proceeds to torment Woe, and they undergo a battle of wills, one between the other. Woe trying to persuade him to join the Webspinners of Ne'haer, and Stoll stoicly refusing, and trying to reprogram Woe and 'rehabilitate' him.
Eventually, Woe makes a persuasive enough argument that Stoll relents, and the ex-slave's will wins out. Further, he agrees to become Woe's master in the magic arts, and the arts of torture.
Appearance: A pale man with white hair, his face is scrunched in, part of a mutation from Abrogative influences. The scars on his face are almost caving in upon themselves, creating ridges and bulges here or there. All over his body, runic tattoos glow dark, standing out upon the vision as one sees them.

Relationship: Stoll will come to see Woe as a protege of sorts. While he'll never be as dedicated to Sintra's cause as Woe, he does see the pragmatism in having such a patron, in ensuring the apprehension and punishment of heretics and criminals. He will aid Woe so long as Sintra's directives are good for Ne'haer.
Stoll's sparks, on the other hand, revel in the idea of imparting one or more of their child sparks to the Mortalborn. They actively encourage Stoll toward this end, and end up being the deciding factor in prompting him toward the Webspinner's side.

He uses a staff as a walking stick and his weapon of choice when it comes to bagging his quarry.
Personality: Easy going and amiable, despite his ragged appearance, Mustelo is one of the up and coming rat catchers in the city, providing cheap meat to vendors around Ne'haer.

| Music Instrument: Mandolin | 30 | Competent |
| Etiquette | 30 | Competent |
| Logistics | 30 | Competent |
| Cooking | 20 | Novice |
| Caregiving | 10 | Novice |
Appearance/Biometrics: Standing at 5'10", she's rather tall, with delicate features and well-attended makeup. She favors conservative dresses that cover as much skin as possible. Her shoulder-length hair is often tied into a bun and cinched with a pin or a silk flower of some kind. Otherwise, her build is on the lithe side, with minimal muscle definition. Her skin is rather pale from lack of exposure.
Personality: Obedient to a fault toward her father, she doesn't have a rebellious bone in her body. Her father teases her for her conformity at times, but they have a good relationship despite their political and cultural disagreements. She nevertheless will not brook indecency toward herself or anyone near to her, and will fiercely oppose any attempts to thwart the upholding of modesty and propriety. It is this reason that prompts her to take issue with her mother's way of life, as a glamorous stage actress and adherent to the Lair's degeneracy.
Backstory: Rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of Madame Olga Dolizar and the late Duke of the Lair, Augusta is nonetheless extremely loyal toward the father who raised her, Filipe Dolizar. She scorns her mother for her promiscuous and flamboyant reputation, and even courts the idea of joining the Theocratum to put the screws to her wayward mother. She's yet to consider taking any commitments in that direction, as her father wishes to marry her off to a secure and safe prospect.

Relationship to PC: Filipe Dolizar is trying to get Woe to court Augusta, and Augusta is doing her best to facilitate her father's wishes. They will probably end up in a passionless courtship of convenience. They since broke off their engagement, and Woe is now employing her as a caregiver for his children.
