[b]Character Name:[/b] Sitara Kalyani (Alias)

[b]Species:[/b] Human

[b]Species description:[/b] N/A

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Noteworthy Abilities / Limitations:[/b]
[*][i]Stealth Expertise:[/i] Sitara was trained from a young age to blend into the shadow, and though her abilities are best employed at night she is equally effective during the day. She specializes in tailing targets.[/*]

[*][i]Elite Training:[/i] Sitara excels at close-quarters combat. She uses a combination of knives, short swords, and martial arts to eliminate threats to her charge. However, she also keeps a small hand crossbow with toxic bolts.[/*]

[*][i]Spell Claw:[/i] Sitara is equipped with an artifact known as a Spell Claw. It is capable of destabilizing arcane energies on contact, causing mana burn in enemy mages. It can also be used to break minor buffs and enchantments, but structured energies are much more volatile and this can be particularly dangerous.[/*]

[*][i]Levitation:[/i] All Assassins of her order are trained in minor levitation magic, to descend and ascend from rooftops quickly and quietly. Some of them learn more stealth magic progressively, but Sitara is not fond of spells.[/*]

[b]Background:[/b]
When she was born, Sitara's parents were poor and could not afford to feed her. Rather than smother their child or see her die of hunger, however, they chose to sell her to [i]Ebli's Talon[/i] for a good sum of money. Ebli's Talon, abbreviated as Talon, was founded by an unknown and paranoid descendant of Ebli Khan to serve as a secret order of counter assassins. These assassins were recruited at birth, and trained to be fanatically loyal to their assigned charge. Many times upon having failed, they follow their charge to the grave during some attempt at vengeance. It is driven into their head that they serve no purpose beyond protecting whoever they are assigned to.

When the Ebli dynasty ended and the Sadek Caliphate began, the entire Talon was nearly eliminated. However, some members of the Caliphate saw the need for their protection and, though they no longer protected the descendants of Ebli Khan, they continued on in service to the Sadek Dynasty. At the completion of her basic training, six years ago at the age of eighteen, Sitara was assigned to protect the Prince Mundhir Sadek from all worldly threats. Given his chivalrous nature he has yet to call upon her services as an assassin, and that only increases her respect and loyalty to the Prince, however, she has in several cases operated discreetly and without his knowledge in eliminating threats to Mundhir. 

It was during such an excursion in which she had received information about a potential spy that the Prince was attacked, and she has been ashamed of herself for being led away so easily ever since. Now she has traveled to Eblistan to infiltrate the dungeons and free her charge.
