Alina Kinnarria Avronos
Sister of the Order of Salya Alina Kinnarria Avronos
Alina is the daughter of a prominent merchant family, but has long ago broken from her parents' life plan of her becoming a successful merchant and marrying into another influential merchant family. In her teens, Alina began to travel throughout the lands surrounding the Windy Sea and trading along the Great North Road which brought her as far south as the great trading city of Goutara. Rather than fueling her interest in trade, these travels fed her growing wanderlust. During one of her trips to Goutara she was approached by a high ranking member of the Cult of Salya. Her contact initially recruited her to carry messages and small items for the Cult. After completing several journeys on the Cult's behalf her contact approached her with a new offer. She was invited to join the cult with the promises of training in magic, the stealthy arts and possibility of immortality. Alina accepted the offer fully knowing that assassination, kidnapping and other nefarious undertakings were central to the cult's activities. Over the next few years Alina was both able to indulge her desire to travel and build a reputation with the cult as an effective agent. At the age of 28, the Cult fulfilled it's promise of immortality by ritually transforming her into a living vampire. Since then, Alina has travelled extensively through the lands both north and south of the Spine leaving a trail of mayhem in her wake.
