![[Delara.png]] # Delara Blackrose _Human Merchant | [[Gilded Gallows]] | [[Neverwinter]]_ ## Summary Rising noble in [[Neverwinter]] who's become one of [[Dagult Neverember]]'s most trusted allies and rumored lover. Climbed the social ladder through charm and knowing who to befriend—but her position is built on blackmail. [[Ravenna]] uncovered her past crimes and forced her to betray the [[Black Network]], providing intelligence that let the [[Gilded Gallows]] seize [[Neverwinter]]'s criminal underworld. %% ## At a Glance Statuesque woman with raven-black hair and piercing blue eyes, adorned in luxurious silks of deep crimson and gold. Captivating smile that doesn't quite reach her wary gaze. Frequently glances over her shoulder, scans rooms for danger. Born on [[Neverwinter]]'s streets, clawed her way up through the [[Black Network]] using wit and charm to create a false noble identity. Now walks a dangerous tightrope—climbing [[Neverwinter]]'s social and political ladder while desperately seeking enough power to break free from the [[Gilded Gallows]]' control. Secretly gathering evidence on their operations, hoping to turn the tables. ## Personality Ambitious and paranoid. The smooth, cultured voice slips into street accent when stressed. Collects exotic perfumes to mask the scent of fear. Driven by desire for freedom more than wealth or power—she's been a puppet long enough. ## Quote _"In Neverwinter, darling, true power lies in knowing everyone's secrets—especially those they think are still hidden."_ ## Stats **Noble** (MM 348) with **Spy** abilities %%
