Based in Sharn, she funds her operation through the trafficing of drugs (many of which she created herself) and the smuggling of rare items. She rules her organization with a combination of benevolence for those that abide by her orders and iron-fisted cruelty for those who do not. As a means of protection from assassins, she has had several grafts. These include Incendiary Skin and permenant Acid Resistance. In addition, she has added Regeneration and several vine tentacles that she can call upon when neccessary. |
For a drug smuggler and crime lord, she is actually not that bad a person so long as you don't cross her. She has a strong sense of honor and will defend those she holds dear to the death if she must. Though the cost of failure during her mindgames with the Redshirts is often rather lethal, she does not revel in needless slaughter and hopes her 'lessons' help the survivors become stronger. | For a drug smuggler and crime lord, she is actually not that bad a person so long as you don't cross her.

She initially came aboard for new ideas for her trade. She obtained permission of [[Forgotten_Freedom:Jarlot|Captain Jarlot]] to use the crew as guinea pigs to test her creations in exchange for supplying the crew with said products at far below market price. She also works with the Cooky, [[Forgotten_Freedom:Norbaz|Norbaz]], in testing the effects of her creations in less subjective conditions (i.e. she spikes the food). There was a contract involved, but most of the crew didn't read it and signed it because they were told to. | She initially came aboard for new ideas for her trade.

Complimenting this is the intelligence gathered by her operatives in the field. It has only recently become clear that she can also hear the Material Plane itself and gathers much this way as well. |

During a trip to Dal Quor, she fused with an imprisoned spirit from her companion abberation, [[Forgotten_Freedom:"Not-Walter"|"Not-Walter"]], gaining his powers, abilities, and memories. Her original personality remains dominant and little change is apparent. The two of them were so close that they had already taken on many of each others personality traits. |

She had inherited that power, and was to be used as a vessel for the Demon Lord as part of a ritual intended to drain the sealed Daemon Lords and Rajahs of their power. With the help of the crew, she defeated the Demon Lord, gaining near free reign in the Plane of Shadow. However, she does not consider herself god-like in any respect, despite her power there. After discovering the details of the ritual she was intended for, she modified the basic concept and can now drain Outsiders of their power, if only temporarily. |
− | A member of the Wardens of the Woods in the Eldeen Reaches, Terra is a bit of a black sheep among their ranks. Due to her semi-demonic nature (no true demonic blood, but has many of the effects of it), she is facinated by "unnatural" things. The twisted forms left over from the Daelkyr invasion thousands of years ago found in the deep woods intrigue her rather than repulse her.

During the battle against the Lords of Dust, it was revealed that they had been subtly manipulating Terra into furthering their plans. Their leader, Ariajni, was ultimately responsible for the whole mess involving her and her family with the Demon Lord. To add insult to injury, he was also directly responsible for her adoptive mother's death. In the course of the battle against him, she discovered she had access to angelic power as well, a gift from her adoptive mother (revealed to have been an Astral Deva). | During the battle against the Lords of Dust, it was revealed that they had been subtly manipulating Terra into furthering their plans.

While she is now both, she insists at just being called Terra, since her's is the dominant portion of the new personality due to being the original inhabitant of their shared body. The fusion was not without cost, with both of them having to sacrifice several levels in order to do so, but the combined result is far more powerful than either of them alone. Not-Walter's old body remains, only now it is really *just* a Half-Farspawn Broodling Kython. It still follows Terra, but the difference is obvious. |

+ | It seems that, about a thousand years ago, 'Not-Walter' used to be the best Quori Mindhunter of his day. Eventually, the Quori managed to capture him and his companions. After stripping him of the Quori spirit he kept trapped, they sealed his spirit in the body of an abberation and murdered his friends before his eyes as punishment. The binding stripped him of all his Mindhunter abilities, and he was largely unable to access the rest. Because of these events, the most obvious difference in her new personality is a near-unbridled hatred of the Quori. | ||
