![[EsveleRosznarPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Esvele Rosznar _Human Noble | [[House Rosznar]] | [[Waterdeep]]_ ## Summary Noble of the infamous [[House Rosznar]] and wife of the hero [[Reg]]. A former [[Black Vipers]] thief, she worked to redeem her family's dark legacy of slavery, poison-dealing, and political murder. When [[Reg]] became [[Open Lord]] during the [[Oblivion War]] crisis, he named her his successor. Thirty years later she remains a powerful political force in [[Waterdeep]]. Mother to [[Petra]]. %% ## Now _placeholder_ ## Appearance Elegant woman with sharp features, calculating eyes, and long black hair. Dresses in fine noble attire but moves with a thief's grace. ## Personality A revolutionary aristocrat, pragmatic, and prefers action to bureaucracy. Speaks with aristocratic polish that occasionally slips into street vernacular, and grows defensive when family history is mentioned. She has passed her skills — reading people, moving unnoticed — on to her children. ## Quote _"The Rosznar name once meant slavery and poison. I'll spend my life making it mean something better."_ ## Connections **[[Reg]]** — husband; she works behind the scenes with him. **[[Petra]]** — daughter. **[[Kressando Rosznar]]** — compromised brother who attempted to assassinate her. **[[Angel Lock]]** — fellow [[Black Vipers]] thief. **[[Avini Belebranta]]** — fellow [[Black Vipers]] thief. ## Background **The Tarnished House:** [[House Rosznar]] was banished for slavery in the 14th century and returned only recently with a tarnished reputation. As a [[Black Vipers]] thief she opposed [[Waterdeep]]'s corrupt nobility, particularly [[House Cassalanter]]. **The Proof:** She remained conscious during a [[Mind Flayer]] psychic attack at her father's funeral and survived an assassination attempt by her compromised brother [[Kressando Rosznar]]. When named [[Reg]]'s successor as [[Open Lord]], she found formal governance ill-suited to her direct-action nature. ## Stats **Base:** Noble with Rogue abilities and high-level political influence. %%
