Leena
"Leena’s the kind of woman who walks into a room and makes you wonder what she already knows about you—and how she plans to use it. She’s all silk smiles and steel confidence, the type who never seems rattled, and that’s the problem. People like that? They’re playing a game you can’t see, and odds are, you’re already on the board. I wouldn’t call her untrustworthy—just the kind of person you trust at your own peril."
– Sorek Redmarch
Leena, Spymaster of Theron Sylvanranth
Leena is a mysterious, ever-present member of Theron Sylvanranth's entourage. A long-time resident of Bard's Gate, she is known to disappear for short periods but always returns, often with news or subtle shifts in her demeanor that hint at the significance of her absences. At first glance, Leena presents herself as a well-connected servant at The Conclave, always polite and deferential. However, for those observant enough or close to Sylvanranth’s inner circle, it soon becomes clear that she wields real power and influence, operating as his spymaster. Every action she takes is deliberate and purposeful, reflecting her calculated and perceptive nature.Appearance
Leena is a strikingly beautiful woman in her early 30s. She is tall and well-built, carrying herself with grace and an air of quiet authority. Despite her ability to blend into her surroundings, her presence can command attention when she desires.Personality and Traits
Leena is sneaky, perceptive, and fiercely protective of her children. She has no patience for threats directed at her family, though she remains composed under most circumstances. She seems largely unconcerned with the wealth, power, or prestige of those she interacts with, instead focusing on the value of their actions or information. Around The Conclave, she often adopts the role of a humble serving girl, though her poise betrays her true nature to those who know what to look for. Despite her calculated demeanor, Leena has been known to exhibit rare moments of emotion:- She was seen flustered only once, when she abruptly ended one of her walkabouts to the Great Forest and rushed to The Conclave to warn of Kursk’s imminent attack on Bard's Gate.
- Ouro caught her and Theron Sylvanranth in a compromising position, though both were clothed. While Leena seemed amused, Sylvanranth appeared uncharacteristically anxious, even nervous.

Leena's manor in Bard's Gate is surprisingly well-appointed for someone who presents herself as a mere servant.

She had a very brief fling with Orin Kharne, whether it was purely physical attraction or part of some scheme, no one can tell.Role as Spymaster
