Raelyna

Name
Lady Raelyna Blackheath

Physical Traits
Raelyna is a healthy, fair skinned, ebon haired woman often found dressed in fine gowns and robes, crafted by skilled hands using the highest quality silks avaible. She is decorated further by the ornate peices of jewelry she wears, the most eye catching of items being the necklace that hangs around her neck. A silver chain from which hangs three silver pendants, at the heart of each small purple gems that shimmer with a dim glow.

She carries on her person a few personal effects stored within a black leather satchel that hangs at her right side, sealed with a pair of silver buckles. Embroided upon the satchel are various patterns, the satchel probably having cost Raelyna a fair amount of coin.

One last item hangs at her left side. It appears to be nothing more than some fancy 'rod' of a dark purple metal, untill closer inspection reveals it to be a sword hilt. There appears to be no blade however, as such the use of such a thing is unknown. Regardless, just like her satchel Raelyna is never without this bizarre hilt.

Background
Raelyna was born into the Blackheath family, which made her upbringing both easy and difficult. It was easy, because anything she wanted she could have, born afterall into a wealthy noble house. It was made difficult however, for during her childhood the Blackheath family's members were frequently suspected of being dabblers in dark, demonic arts. More often than not, during gatherings of the House of Noble's Lords and Ladies, the other house leaders would call out the current Lord Aldion and openly accuse him of consorting with demons.

Little Raelyna, had no idea such accusations were true. She grew up with a hatred for those whom would acuse her mother and father, and brother, of such crimes.

By eighteen, she learned the truth. On her birthday, before her party, her mother took her to the basement below Blackheath Manor. She revealed to her daughter a secret entrance that lead to a network of hidden chambers. Within them, runic markings drawn in blood, shards of glowing purple gems within which swirled and screamed the souls of the dead, grimoires of ancient pages seething with vile magic that filled the air with the stench of Fel.

Raelyna was shocked at first, but her mother Lucrecia showed her daughter the power of the Fel, summoning forth a demon from the Nether. Binding it to her will, forcing it to succumb to her dominance and then searing it from the inside out with the very same demonic fire that birthed it!

By 24, Raelyna's power surpassed her mother's and equaled that of her father. It was on her 24 birthday that her mother and father, were both accuced, trialed and found guilty of consorting with demons and the use of demonic magic. A great multitude of other crimes they thought well covered drowned them in guilt. The court found them guilty, and sentence them to execution.

The House of Nobles took pity on young Raelyna, stricken with grief due to the passing of her mother and father, her tears touched the hearts of the Lord's and Lady's who allowed Raelyna to take upon the mantle of the Blackheath family and inherit the wealth they left behind. A grave error of judgement..

Raelyna, now Lady Blackheath, vowed revenge against not just the House of Nobles, but Stormwind as a whole. She delved further into forbidden arts, tearing more and more demons from the Nether, not to do her bidding but to tear apart and consume! Whilst her power grew, her sanity withered. Her soul became darker and darker, untill all light was snuffed out. Her mind twisted, she began ten years of political manipulation...

Her first act was to woo, seduce and marry Lord Reddington Crowe, a wealthy noble of Stormwind who was an owner and investor in a number of smithies that crafted weapons for Stormwind and the Alliance. She played him untill he was wrapped around her little finger, feigned affection and when the good Lord proposed, she accepted. Three weeks passed untill she was recognised as Lady Blackheath-Crowe and a to-be inheritor of the family fortune and businesses. Or she would be, if it were not for Reddington's children, Alessa and Jeremiah.

She warped, so black her heart, she felt not a morsel of remorse nor guilt when she paid a masked man to kill Lord Crowed and his children, twins, six years of age..

She left Stormwind during the deed, visiting Lakeshire to the east to donate a hefty sum of coin to the fund for rebuilding the bridge there. What appeared as an act of benevolence was simply Raelyna's way of crafting an aliby for herself. One that was succesful, as when she returned to find the dark deed had been done exactly how she had hoped she simply let loose streams of well acted crocodile tears.

With no heirs, the wealth and businesses of the Crowe family were now part of House Blackheath.

From then on, to this very day, Lady Raelyna Blackheath has contributed vast amounts of money to the kingdom. Noteable donations to the orphanage, to the veterans of the war against the Scourge, to the construction of the harbour before the very same war began. All these acts of 'benevolence' merely a wall of coin to blind society and the kingdom from the truth.

Family Background
The Blackheath family is known for a number of things. During its early years, its members were often suspected and sometimes openly acused of being dabblers in Fel magic and summoners of demons from the Nether. During one point of the family's history, over a decade ago, the Lord and Lady of that time were both found guilty of using such magics, summoning demons and a multitude of other crimes they had saught to keep quiet. Both were excecuted.

Since then however the Blackheath family, in the eyes of society, has become a benevolent house reknown for its current Lady's limitless generosity and love for the kingdom and its people, aswell as patriotism towards the crown.

Criminal Record
None, Lady Blackheath has no criminal record at all. On the contrary, Lady Blackheath is known for her good will towards the people of Stormwind and her generosity them and the kingdom.

Current Status
Currently busy attending to Blackheath business, of which she keeps to herself.
