Erianthe Leonora d'Ackerley

Member of the Assassins Guild

Full Title: Mistress of Black Widow House

Occupation: House Mistress at the Conlegium Sicariorum

Nationality: Sto Helit

Citizenship: Ankh-Morpork

Gender: Female

Description

She is a young, yet distinguished, member of the faculty of the Conlegium Sicariorum. Standing at just over five feet tall, she is rather petite, with a slim frame and soft, feminine curves. She has porcelain skin, with a slight pink flush to her cheeks and pretty greyish blue eyes. Her hair is dark auburn and falls to her shoulders in rich, glossy waves.
Her clothing reflects her profession, sumptuous fabrics in the delicious shades that black can only begin to describe and she holds herself with grace and poise.
She has the kind of style and elegance expected of someone of her profession, though she often deviates from uniform black and probably wears more jewellery than would be suitable out on a contract.

Personal Story

Erianthe was sent by her wealthy Sto Helit parents to study at the Assassins Guild a few years ago and placed under the care of her cousin, Sir Andrew d'Ackerley. As a member of Black Widow House, she showed aptitude for the profession and quickly graduated. She eventually rose to the rank of House Mistress after Alwin's departure.

Once considered somewhat of a scandal among polite Ankhian society for some of her lifestyle choices, she never let social pressures dictate her behaviour - finding that not many people were really willing to argue with a woman who usually had the means to kill a small town about her person.

Recently she has taken up residence in Ohulan-Cutash having inherited a family home there, dividing her time between there and the College.

Family Story

A member of the notoriously snobbish d'Ackerley family, Erianthe is the youngest of three siblings, having an older brother and sister. Her parents, wealthy Sto Helit nobles, felt it was best to offload her on her cousin Andrew, with whom she resided through her tuition at the Assassins Guild, in hope that she'd find a rich husband.

Comments

She believes not that the punishment should fit the crime but the perpetrator.
