Background :

-  Now you see it.  Now you don't.

Daughter of a Zingaran buccaneer and a Shemite woman that he enslaved, Shevata has inherited from her two bloodlines a striking beauty that she makes one of her many weapons.  Her father, little prone to tenderness, took to the girl, and taught her how to fight, how to cheat and how to steal.  It is an unusual legacy, but a useful one.

Zingaran law is perverse in that the child of a Zingaran freeman and a slave is freeborn, but once he or she has reached the age of 14, is owed no subsistance from her family.  Basically such children are cast out.  Her father was too much of a Zingaran to go against this tradition, but he had at least prepared his daughter for it, for the only choice is survive or die.

Shevata is one of the survivors.  Her sleight of hand kept her fed, and during the early days when she needed a protector, her skills always made her worth something to someone.  Her natural charm, coupled with the ability to pierce peoples' minds, helped her weave her own relations within the Pit, and today she has plenty of clients ready to use her abilities to acquire that which they desire.

A few years ago, Shevata was finally able to pay the almost royal ransom required to buy her mother's freedom and a spacious home to dwell in, in the countryside far from Kordava.  Her estate takes in and cares for freeborn children who share Shevata's old situation.  In Zingara, this is revolutionary activity which requires remaining as discreet as possible, and requires a lot of resources. Luckily, Shevata knows how to relieve the wealthy of unnecessary burden, in the service of a greater cause.

 

 

Campaign History :

 

Learning of a great assembly of many peoples in the Eastern Desert, in the name of a religious fanatic named Natohk, the Veiled One, Shevata decided it was the perfect occasion to exploit chaos and come away richer.  Having infiltrated the camp, she was disgusted by the barbaric treatment of the camp's children, basically enslaved in the service of some sort of jackal-headed demons.

The arrival of some strangers, who were obviously trying to avoid any attention, intrigued Shevata until she saw them set upon the enemy.  This suddenly seemed like the moment to act.

Shevata's timely intervention gained her a place with the Shemite High Priest Zarese of the Silver Moon, and with the ensuing expedition to the dread city of Kuthcheme.
