Scath wanted to become a priestess, and apprenticed herself to a church of the light. Fate, however, had other plans, and while out with her Mistress investigating some unusual phenomena, she was touched by the power of Shadow, such that no healing or curse removal could undo it. Her growth accelerated and her colouring deepened while her hair paled until it looked as thought it was bleached. Though it was no fault of her own, the hierarchy would not let her stay, more so once they learned that she had gained magic from the touch - magic they considered anathema.
He died. He doesn’t remember all the details. But based on what he does remember, Tod doesn’t think he was a very good person when he was alive. He was some sort of con artist. Always making deals, always ripping people off.Though the specifics are a bit fuzzy, but Tod likes to imagine that he only preyed on those that deserved it and had money to spare. More likely they were just the ones with something worth taking. He does remember that his death was pretty brutal, probably revenge for ripping off the wrong person.

She said that it was to keep him from worrying about the fine print and trying to weasel out on a loop-hole, but he knew a hustler when he met one and The Lady was clearly one of the best.

Her Mistress disagreed with them, and impressed upon Scath that this merely meant the Goddess had other plans for her. She left her Mistress at least on good terms, and has learned to master her abilities.

Character Backstory

He died. He doesn’t remember all the details. But based on what he does remember, Tod doesn’t think he was a very good person when he was alive. He was some sort of con artist. Always making deals, always ripping people off.Though the specifics are a bit fuzzy, but Tod likes to imagine that he only preyed on those that deserved it and had money to spare. More likely they were just the ones with something worth taking. He does remember that his death was pretty brutal, probably revenge for ripping off the wrong person. And then he met The Lady and he cut a deal. She had things she wanted done and he wanted to go back. Besides that the details are a little fuzzy. She said that it was to keep him from worrying about the fine print and trying to weasel out on a loop-hole, but he knew a hustler when he met one and The Lady was clearly one of the best. He was pretty sure even with his memories and a hundred years he wasn’t going to find a way out of their deal. So he suspected that even if he tried to work at cross purposes to The Lady, he would end up furthering her goal and end up worse out of the bargain. So when he finds himself being pulled to a location, like the festival, he knows better than to try to fight it. The job, whatever it was, did come with some perks. Magic powers, he hadn’t had those in life, and a mouthy little imp servant named which he calls Sycthe on loan from The Lady to help him out.
