Personal history
Alias grew up in Dahlsev, capital of the country of Bandru, her parents inattentive as they concentrated on their work and their ambition to make it to the higher levels of society. The girl took to roaming the streets frequently, her quick mind and good memory helping her to create a near-perfect mental map of the city. She took great care to be as inconspicuous as possible, preferring to keep from getting too much attention. This was, in part, because of the violent and rash natures of the city guard, but also so that she could put herself into positions that would make her privy to things she might not otherwise see or hear.
She managed to make friends of a number of the children that roamed the streets, who took her into their confidence frequently and helped to sate her thirst for information. She often worked with them to help steal food or other necessities, including money. She was appalled to see how many children were left without parents, either due to abandonment or death, and made a vow to herself to get herself into a position to help them.
When she was 15, Alias left her family home for good. Her parents had been discussing the possibility of arranging a profitable marriage for her, and she refused to be a part of their ambition to claw their way to the top of society. Using her contacts and knowledge of the city, she succeeded in staying hidden from her parents and others who might want to return her to them, and by the time she was 20, she had started on her own way toward becoming a force to be reckoned with.
Over time, she faded even further into the background, apparently disappearing to even her friends on the streets. She left a note informing them that she was forced to leave the city due to unpleasant circumstances, and then took on a new persona, dropping her given name completely to become Alias. She took to using masks to keep her true identity a secret, and by the age of 30, she had her hand in most of the seedier goings-on in the city. Her power grew more over the years, and now she stands as the key figure in the underworld of not justDahlsev, but of the whole of Bandru, her influence continuing to reach out to other countries as well.
No one knows her true identity. Even her closest associates know her only as Alias, and have only seen her in disguise.
