Personal history
Zess grew up in a family of mercenaries allied with the Black Falcon mercenary company. Her clan is the origin of the company's iconography. Her parents died when she was young, so she and her siblings were raised by her two older brothers.
Zess's clan and the Black Falcons found themselves in Argerus after being chased off their world of origin (which was destroyed behind them), and they eventually allied with Leithien on Renedge and became defunct. After the mercenary company disbanded, Zess settled down in Castle Fallingstar, though she also had a fort.
An unfortunate draw from a deck of many things but the kibosh on all of that: The draw made her lose all of her reputation, which manifested as employees and followers becoming disgruntled even though she'd done nothing wrong. It went so far as to make her family members refuse to talk to her.
Her homes and contacts lost, Zess was subsequently taken in by House Avanthus of Leithien.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Zess saved the little interdimensional spider-girl who became known to the world as Nicce. Zess's party came across Nicce's egg during one of their adventures, and where everyone else in the party wanted to leave it or crush it, Zess saved and protected it.
