![[AngelNew.png]] # Angel Lock _Half-Elf Waterbaron | [[Hand of Yartar]] | [[Yartar]]_ ## Summary Former master thief who rose from leader of the infamous [[Black Vipers]] to [[Yartar]]'s Waterbaron. She named the heroes "the Cinderborn" after they defended the city from [[Zaltimar]]'s fire giant siege. Confronted [[Petra]] about her soulmonger nature, warning her to tell her parents before they discovered it themselves. Recently had [[Khaspere Drylund]] arrested after [[Lynne]] exposed his dragon connections. %% ## At a Glance Striking half-elf with fiery red hair streaked with silver framing sharp features. Practical yet elegant attire allows for swift movement—a reminder of her street-hardened past beneath the mantle of leadership. Constantly surveys rooms for exits and threats. Survived an assassination attempt during the [[Crimson Siege]]—shot from within the city by [[Gilded Gallows]] assassins. [[Durnik Darksteel]] and the [[Velvetshadow Twins]] targeted her, but the party intervened. She recognized something in [[Petra]] before falling. Allied with [[Davil Starsong]] (occasionally romantic). Her intelligence network, the [[Hand of Yartar]], provides excellent intel, though some members were turned by [[Beregond]]—a threat now eliminated. Increasingly isolated as council members defected, but [[Zaltimar]]'s defeat has strengthened her position. ## Personality Charismatic, bold, cunning, fiercely protective of [[Yartar]]. Aristocratic polish slips into street slang under pressure. Always carries concealed weapons. Possesses blackmail material on several nobles from her [[Black Vipers]] days. ## Quote _"Power isn't inherently corrupt—it's how you wield it that matters. I've stood on both sides now, and I choose to use mine for those who have none."_ ## Background Co-founded the [[Black Vipers]] in [[Waterdeep]], targeting corrupt nobles who abused their privilege. During the [[Oblivion War]], cooperated with [[Force Grey]] on specialized missions. Relocated to [[Yartar]] seeking distance from her past, established the [[Hand of Yartar]]—an intelligence network staffed primarily by women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Rose to Waterbaron through strategic alliances and occasional blackmail. ## Stats **Assassin** (MM 343) with Noble background features. %%
