Lydia the Untarnished – Golden Griffin Sergeant

Raised in Belfrie’s capital of Jochenia, Lydia was the only child of one of King Silus’ generals. Her father groomed her for command and battle despite the protests of his peers, and relentless teaching forged her into a soldier of resilience and stoicism.

She longed to prove herself in battle, but at fourteen she was kept from the Duskweave Campaign. When the last fleets returned without her father, Lydia fled to Velandria and gave her name and life to the mercenary company called the Golden Griffins.

The Griffins expected a street urchin to perish on her first mission. Instead, a demonic spirit or other power possessed Lydia, granting her the strength of a Colossal and the speed and grace of a leopard. Four years of bloody missions carried her to the rank of Sergeant, where she now commands a Special Operations squad.

A notice in Tradver promises adventurers a fortune beyond their wildest dreams. Lydia suspects a trap, but writes her name down anyway, ready to discover what challenge waits within the Bastion of the Wandering Mage.
