The cruel duchess

History

Fight Against Darvik Vilgefortz

During her stay among the Yuan-ti, she came across a powerful wizard, Darvik Vilgefortz. Coming in the hostile calames jungle, and within the snake people's territory, he was not appreciated locally. But the Yuan-ti knew better not t fight an archmage, and asked for the vampire to help then.
Tanith agreed, and attacked the mage, scratching him under his blind eye, but the mage set her ablaze before running. Thankfully, Tanith as an immortal and powerful being quickly recovered, yet had time to run and hide.

Tanith Helicos

Tanith Helicos, heir of the Helicos family, was an invention of the vampire, her mind-influencing magic forcing the parents to believe she was their child. Enjoying the opulence of the noble life, Tanith was quickly known for her cruelty, numerous murders were related to her over the years, but as an important noble, nothing could be proven against the cruel woman.
Her comportment was the sparkle of numerous legends that to this day, still plague the Helicos family. Common folks thinking the Helicos had tie with dark forces, with the yuan-ti, and other similar folk legends. Thankfully for the disguised vampire, Manael Tana was not one to be bothered by so little either, and her actions were left unchanged for as long as she pretended to be Tanith Helicos.
But the vampire grows bored of this life, and with how short are humans lived, it was about time for Tanith to disappear anyway. But, due to the countless rumor on the cruel duchess, many believe, she is still alive. While this belief is true, it has nothing to do with the investigation skill of the common folk.
Additionally, the childs that are supposed to be hers, are bastards, as she manipulated the mind of her husband to believe she had been carrying them. Tho, this secret was discovered for at least one of the child and is now kept among the family members.

Friend of the Yuan-ti

Over the years, Tanith Helicos took many appearances, and many years, Often preferring the shape of a tall human, with long white hair and dark yellow eyes. But as the vampire love to blend among the humans under this same appearance, she often needs to wait for a few generations, for her name and face to be forgotten. When hiding from the civilization of humans, she comes to the yuan-ti. Friend of her since immemorable time, Tanith used to do this even during the Orrin era, and the secret of her vampiric nature is transmitted from high priestess to another among the serpent people generation.
In her most recent hideout, a group of adventurers came to the Yuan-ti, bargaining for a right of passage. The vampire took a liking to one of the adventurers, and in a sulfurous night, she graced her with vampirism.
