Lydia grew up among her people in the southeast corner of Ellendar; however she found far more happiness among the other races in their cities of stone and wood. Because her tribe dealt with the human cities of the Three Kingdoms and Dakar so often, many of the other tribes that had goods to trade would often seek out her family's elders to set up and do any bargining. Her great beauty and near perfect command of the various human tongues often made her the one to negoitiate any difficult trades.

As a moth is drawn to the flame, she was drawn to the undersides of the human cities. They were drenched in filth and filled with places that dealt in anything someone with money could want. It was curiousity that a people who built so many wonderful things could also be the founders of such vile depravity. It was on one of her expeditions into the back alleys that she was assaulted by three orcs. When she finally escaped five days later her mind had retreated from the abuse of her body — what she did to the orcs on her way out is best not mentioned.

The abuse was so great that Lydia's personality fractured and her darkest hatreds bubbled up from within. It was this hatred that fueled her escape from her captors and it still has control over her life. While the personality of Lydia will occasionally surface — it is Lyrdin that now runs her life. Lyrdin is cruel, punishing, and live in the places that even most humans fear. She is one of the most feared bounty hunters as few are ever returned alive for the bounty as she takes almost delight in torturing her prisoners before turning them in for the money.

Most humans would consider the average elf to be beautiful and near perfect in form — Lydia is considered considered very beautiful even by the elves and near perfect by most humans. Her golden hair cascades gentle down her back ending just above her slender waist. Her facial features and high boned and eyes a striking blue. An elf's natural grace seems to be increase four fold in Lydia as she moves with a dancer's sway just walking down the street. That was before the incident.

Now when she has descended into her darker personality she swears like a sailor and becomes as crude as any orc. She throws out her sheer silks for rough leathers and wickedly curved knives. Anyone that even mentions that she is an elf would find their liver on the table before them just and their life's blood drains from their body. Just as Lydia is beautiful — Lyrdin is cruel and sadistic.

Any PC better hope that they only encounter Lyrdin while she is looking for someone else or those rare moments when Lydia is in control. Otherwise there will be bloodshed and it won't be hers. She is a skilled master of many weapons, having a lifetime to perfect her skill to the point of a cat playing with a blind mouse. She is a loner and will not accept aid from anyone, nor stop to offer aid to anyone in trouble; although he might stop long enough to watch whatever trouble consumes them.
