Tamara Wierno
Tamara Wierno is the self proclaimed last remnant of the house of Wierno. She is a fierce warrior, brutal tactician, and leader of the Wierno Loyalists in the battle against the Sorcerer, Malakesh. Whether her father was truly a former lord of Katrach, Tamara does not know. Her mother told her so time and time again when she was young, but her mother was a mad and wild witch, so Tamara weighs her words lightly. Either way, Tamara has decided that whether true or not, she will be the ruler of her land, she has decided that she is done living in squalor, and letting life bully her and toss her around. She will become the master of her own life, and she will do anything she needs to do in order to accomplish her goals.
Early life
Tamara was born in the Strachow Forest to a crazed and wild woman whose name neither she nor Tamara knew. For years Tamara was pulled around the county, living of berries and roots, and always being told that her father would come and help them, and that he was a powerful lord in this land. Soon Tamara began to despise her mother, for she treated Tamara more as a servant then a daughter. There was one thing that kept Tamara going through these years, her love of her blade. Once when her mother assaulted and killed a traveler, in order to sacrifice the body to her supposed gods, Tamara managed to sneak the blade from the traveler. Since taking the blade, Tamare spends at least an hour every day training with it, honing her skill. Eventually, when she deemed herself good enough with the blade, she took off, ran away from her mother. As she did, her mother revealed that she was not just some crazy lady, but that she truly was a witch. As she ran Tamara saw the forest around her come to life, as it tried to stop her. Only because of her skill with her blade, was she able to escape, cutting throug branches as she imagined each one a limb on her mothers body. After she got out of the woods, she wandered for a while, since she was well aquainted with the land, she had no issue surviving, but she wanted more. With time she became aware of the situation, and it was then that she decided, whether true or not, that she was the Rightful ruler of this land, she was Tamara Wierno, Lady of Katrach. With this belief she saught out the loyalists and joined up.Leadership & Relations
As a leader of the loyalists, Tamara is by far the most brutal of them. To her, victory is the only goal. She cares naught for the people of the land beyond what they can give to her, but she is able to see things in a long term perspective, so she keeps the love of the people by defeating the oppressors and giving freedom where she goes. Because of this, most of the younger folk in the county see the Loyalists as the good guys, despite their brutal and dishonourable tactics. On the other hand those who are older, and still remember the days of house Wierno well, they see this leader, known as "The Blade of Wierno" as a dishonourable and untrustworthy criminal, not much better than Thurh and his men. Tamara has also proved to be a shrewd politican and negotiatior. She has had interactions with two important figures in the county, Pavlina Strachow the Mayor of Wysepka, and the Baron of Zaufalski Keep. Though Pavlina managed to outmaneuver Tamara, she did not come away from the situation without anything. It was agreed that Pavlina would make sure the hideout stayed hidden, just as Tamara would let certain targets pass if it would benefit Pavlina. With the baron of Zaufalski Keep things were different however, as it turns out the baron was more then willing to support a cause against the Sorcerer. Only, that during these talks Tamara was discovered by a Ming Xiao, and though she managed to escape, Ming Xiao has keept the baron under close surveilance since, and the men stationed in Zaufalski keep are on high alert.Location & Operations
Tamara can most often be found either out on a mission, or in the loyalist hideout in "The Hills". She's currently planning out an attack on a caravan carrying a large shipment of food up to Zaufalski keep, meant for primarily miners and slaves. She has kept the fact that it will affect the slaves from some of her men, along with the paladin Himek Saventhi, who would struggle to accept this.Social
Social Aptitude
Tamara is perhaps not flameboyant or such, but she is charismatic. She speaks in a simple direct way, but she chooses her words carefully. She is in many ways a traditional tactitian and commander. She speaks well, for she speaks reality, or at least those who listen to her see it as such. She might not use fancy words, or speak as a song, but her words carry weight.
Mannerisms
Tamara does her best to not show emotion, instead trying to keep up her image as a stone-faced general. She leads with logic, realism, and knowledge that her fight is justified.
