Zela

Zela is a half-elven "woman of independent means" who was in the ... "traveling party" of one Jorlo Treethrower, a party-loving dwarf who traveled the Sea of Fallen Stars.

Description
Zela is a half-elf of great beauty and personal strength. Her long brown hair usually hides her ears, obscuring her only obvious elven feature. Her human half appears to be Damaran. She stands a normal height and weight for a half-elf, and appears to be rather young.

Personality
At first, Zela appeared to be nothing more than an afterthought - someone who got by in life using "womanly talents." But slowly it is becoming clear she is more than meets the eye - she seems self-confident, intelligent, and more knowledgable than first imagined.

History
She tells her history to the Circle: "There is little to tell.  I was born in Arrabar, the capital of Chondath.  I was born into servitude, to put it lightly.  My family were servants of a Noble of the city, and I spent my youth there.  Seeing that this sort of life got my parents no where, I took it upon myself to escape.  At 14 I fled Arrabar in the night, leaving my family behind.

"I stowed away on a ship which eventually laid port in Mulmaster. There I spent many years learning many new skills that would help me survive - and I barely did.  It was not long before a Lady of the Queen, named Akrasia, met and befriended me.  She took me under her wing and taught me many things, and one day introduced me to a 'famous' dwarf that was passing through named Jorlo.  The rest, as they say is history.  I've spent the last two years with Jorlo, traveling to places from Waterdeep to Thay.  Any "mischief," I assure you, is long behind me."

Present Day
After meeting Kehlkagt in Suzail, Zela traveled to Starmantle with Jorlo on business. She fled Starmantle, following Jorlo's assassination, and came to Westgate to seek refuge in the mighty arms of Kehlkagt Stonevictor of the Circle of the Tome. She has sinced revealed herself to be a very "talented" woman.

Through many adventures, it was finally revealed to the Circle that Zela was a spy of Ladira Chembryl's by the wizard Sememnon. The wizard revealed her as a Fey'ri, a mix of elven and demon blood. Whether Zela was always this spy in disguise or the switch was made at some point under the Circle's nose is not known.

Zela eventually lost his life to the Circle, while battling them in Darmshall, Vaasa.
