Ladira Chembryl

The cousin of Fzoul Chembryl and zealot of Bane, Ladira emerged as an adversary to the Circle of the Tome with her insane plot of resurrecting her fallen cousin and god.

Description
Ladira is a strikingly beautiful and powerful woman, but her eyes give away the unstable evil and insanity that has taken over since the fall of Bane. Her red hair is at times wild around her face. She is always dressed as elegantly as possible.

Personality
One single belief drives Ladira - her quest to bring back her cousin and god. There is no other purpose, no other thought on her mind.

History
Ladira Chembryl was a high ranking member of the Zhentarim. As a cousin to its leader Fzoul, she was put in a position of leadership in the northwestern corner of Faerun. When Sememnon, the leader of the Zhentarim stronghold of Darkhold, abandoned his post, Fzoul put his cousin in charge of the evil tower. Shortly thereafter, however, the Battle of the Citadel of the Raven took place. Not taking part in the battle, the news of the death of Fzoul and Bane was at first denied by Ladira. Rushing toward the battleground to see for herself, she left what was left of the Zhentarim and arrived at what was now the Blood Marshes. The sight of the carnage struck the final blow - something snapped in Ladira that day, and she was never the same.

Over the next year, her whereabouts were mostly unknown. But she emerged in 1375, with a purpose and a plan. Once a thoughful, logical and efficient leader, she started a chaotic chain of events to fulfill her insane vision of resurrecting her cousin and her god.

She had not reckoned upon Aluando's Prophecy, though, and was not equipped to handle the combined efforts of the Circle of the Tome. She was slain in the ruins of the Lich King's castle, in Vaasa, moments before her plan came to fruition.
