[u][i][b]Countess Adelaide Seraess
The Toxic Mistress, Drinker of Poison
Human Female
28 Years of age[/b][/i][/u]

Adelaide is by far not a tall woman her standing height barely reaches 5'4, her frame borders between curvy and petite. Letting the natural radiance fill once eyes to behold soft pale skin an obvious result of lacking the suns brilliance, those that have the pleasure of formally meeting the woman can attested to the silk like touch but forgot the touch by peering into emerald eyes. Gleaming in light as if they were truly gems waiting to be plucked, displaying in them both beauty hinted with a dash of malevolence. All is not in beauty, upon her left cheek is the faint appearance of a scar. Hid with copious amounts of powder along with luscious puffed crimson lips, however as much as Adelaide might try its a trace reminder of a past well hidden from the world. Countering the physical deformity on her face with clothes in which revealing would be an understatement, scantily clad is more of the appropriate choice of wording, doing so to enhance her bosoms and overall appeal. Favoring clothing in the deeper colors of red, blue and purple to help accent the dark ash hair trailing down to the bending of the knee.

Garmin is a giant among men in every sense and possible description of the word. Towering over other men as if they were puppets at a staggering 7'10, abnormally tall though his height is the only thing impressive about the man. Inhibited by the naked eye reveals a sculpted figure devoid of hair, the muscle though are another sight entirely as in its brilliance is stacked as granite. Unbreakable and unrelenting, though scars also protrude from the giant among men. Garmin's entire upper torso is littered with marks of past battles. Devoid of any facial hair, both his scalp and rugged face are clean shaven daily. Many claim he is a soulless creature as protruding gray eyes send chills down the most stout of people, if they can raise their heads to meet him in a gaze. Formal in Garmin mind is simple leathers with overlapping chain mail as guarding the countess seems to be his only priority.

[u][i][b]Skillset[/b][/i][/u]
Adelaide while being a noble woman is without some skill in combat though widely detests in getting her own hands dirty. In her youth to the current circumstances remains a notable archer, unable to compare to that of the rangers but claims to be just as good if not better. It might be a blowing of smoke but nothing is taken lightly coming from this woman. This is of course if the time calls for it. If what they say about poison being a woman's weapon is true then, she considers herself a master in its use. Masking odors, delivery of the toxin and creation of possible new varieties. Seduction another one of her weapons, marketing herself to wills of men. Antagonizing, luring, coaxing them into her wants needs by simple kisses and promise of desires of the skin to thoughts of a more beastly carnal desires or simple wants of the coin.  Speaking of the coins it seems to flow from her, able to squeeze two coins hard enough to birth out a third. How she does it simple, Adelaide cannot suckle the coin threw her own whiles if that doesn't work Garmin is sent. Most prefer the former. In the darkest recesses of her soul lay the worst part, a torturer. By hot brands, the rack, slow imprisonment in an iron maiden or other the vast host of other tools at her disposal no secret is safe from her. She has some skill with weapons, enough to protect herself but relies on Garmin.

Garmmin is the apex warrior or as most would lay claim to. While taking a disliking to ranged weaponry, preferring to meet them up close and personal. Wielding a variety of melee weapons, but disdaining the use of pole-arms and spears but will use them if necessary. Favoring the combination of a bastard sword with a tower shield combination, having the strength to use the two handed blade with one hand giving him an increased reach of his swing. While unnatural and freakishly strong the extent of this titan's strength is undefined and hasn't put to a true test. Some claim he can pull apart a portcullis and have seen it, while others claim he can cleave a bear thick with fat in a single stroke. Again its rumors of the folk but regardless of Garmin's strength no one wants to be in the receiving end of any blow. For a man of stature he's surprisingly maneuverable. While not entirely a skill set but while clad in his heavy armor Garmin has the look of bloodied steel demon, one mention by Adelaide that a man to duel him once soiled himself before being cleaved in two.

[u][i][b]History[/b][/i][/u]
Adelaide in her youth was the daughter of a minor retainer from across the northern seas, in fact the only child since her birth was the death of her mother. A notion her father wouldn't relent on that she killed the only love in his life, making sure to demean her about the incident without relent. Being feed dosages of a hate and false hopes, along with the occasional beatings to remind the girl she was only a means to an end to elevate his status. "A near useless piece of meat", as could be seen in Adelaide's memoirs in regards to her father. Silently suffering the maliciousness of her father, though would take to the bow at night. Filling the straw dummies heads with arrows, imagining that they were her fathers face, nothing was more satisfying than being able to see the man die. The vow made, she was going to kill him and when it would happen she prolong the pain to the point where inhumane would be child's play

Blossoming into a young woman, shining with regal beauty much as her mother did before her but something her father hated. Reminding him even more of his lost wife. In a sporadic fit of rage Adelaide was forced onto the great hall's table by the guards of her father while the man proceeded to cut her cheek. Down threw the flesh as it cut her nearly to the bone of her teeth and if she wasn't to been wedded soon he'd let the guards rape her to death. Making the latter part very obvious but he needed her unspoiled as he'd struck a deal with the son of a count, in exchange for wealth and more holdings he'd supply the man with a wife. The rest of night was nothing but pain and retching her stomach contents with vile thoughts of being sold like goat to a man used as his personal play thing. Though patience prevailed over action. After this wedding she'd exact vengeance for the years of sadistic hate and torture, but as of that moment she must play the dutiful daughter and charming wife to an upcoming counts son. 

Her eye couldn't of played tricks on her upon meeting her match, the young man was beyond gallant, the epitomy of male masculinity and sex appeal. The fact he was docile in his affections towards her didn't matter, he was perfect or so she had thought. One thing made her question the man though, is she saw the very look in her match's eyes that Adelaide knew that she had. It was trading evil for evil, being young and naive she accepted not knowing how much worse it was going to get or sickeningly better pending on your point of view. The scarring over cheek though was questioned, the count arranging the marriage demanded to know how in was inflected. A lie. Smiling to the man she simply side while on a ride her horse had spooked a rock slicing threw her cheek, thankful it had down that instead of her head hitting. Playing it for a false and had gotten away with rouse without getting to much suspicion drawn, also Managing to persuade the the father and son to hasten the marriage to the fortnight to get out of her own fathers grasps. 

All seemed well or at least on the outside as the people beloved the freshly married couple. The mans son couldn't rise to consummate the deed, wether it was him being too docile or couldn't get it rise because of her scaring. Adelaide wanted to believe it was the later. 

Though as a years passed it she still remained pure but her husbands father had passed under strange circumstances, the small folk knew it and Adelaide knew it also. She knew that her father in law was killed by poison though what type remained a mystery. The look in her husbands eye grew eerie and as he did so did his company along with screams from dungeons. Curiosity drove the woman as a familiar voice was heard in the screams. Trailing down looking at the backside of her husband and gargantuan of a man, when they turned to see her, Adelaide seen that her father was on the table. Anger coursed seeing her father being tortured and she wasn't the one doing it. Screaming trying to get to her bastard father. Being hold back with the giants one man, but her husband looking down at the table. Waving the titan and handing her the knife. Making good on her promise that she make her father suffer. The feeling and sensations she had gotten from the moment was... erotic as odd as it sounded and in that moment their marriage was actually cemented. Also in that night she was introduced the titan known as Garmin the Titan, Reaper of Men. 

Over the next several years under their rule the peasantry grew fearful to fall either under the counts knife, the countess cup or the titans blade. Testing the concoction of poisons and their antidotes, even testing the antidotes on herself at times. Garmin grew fond of Adelaide, why exactly known only between the two of them but the most widely spread rumor is that she remind him of a sister lost to death. Regardless of what it was, the two bonded more than what silver and gold could buy.

Buying silks in the market one fateful day she overheard the planning of a rebellion, in seeing her the mob drove to frenzy. Garmin cleaving three men in two as Adelaide would tell it giving them time to escape to the estate. Knowing that they'd be driven and killed from there home she had a handful of servants gather her belongings escaping threw an underground route. Escaping threw the exit seeing a mob storming her former home and quartering of her husband. All was gone, fleeing to the docks and across the sea to the lands held by King Harold.

Landing in on the Kings shore a month before this rebellion sparked, talking her way into the kings court as a guest. If it was Harold being a king or his chivalry seeing a noble loosing her holdings or whatever the circumstance it didn't matter she managed to maneuver her way to a state of relative safety within his walls. She did try to charm the king to no avail, though liking the woman for unique knowledge into poisons some of which he had never heard of.

Seeing the rebellion spark, in return for his hospitality Adelaide offered the services of her protector Garmin. Garmin a likes most of the people of the content hadn't seen. Serving in Harold's vanguard, though despite his defeats Garmin made the barons pay. Extinguishing several barons bloodlines root and stem. Spreading his terror in Harold's name and when the king had to make concessions was among the guards at the negotiations. Garmin's blade was one of the tools Harold used to spread his tyranny. According to the peasants he was among Brands executioners or at least foresaw the mans death.

Garmin's return marked a new rise for the countess, negotiating with Harold. As with Garmin being the kings right hand, Adelaide insisted that she be his left to cull the rest of the infidels in Brand's and William's circles. An intriguing offer from a devious woman, see a it as a double edge sword but one that would fall on her if something proved fatal. Allowing her and the titan to take William's estate and lands. Hiring a mercenary a company the Lost Sons from her homeland as protectors and new house guard. With their fearsome reputation in a land torn by war it would help deter any insolence. Putting the old guard of Williams to the torch for their part against Harold. 
   
[u][i][b]Psychological Profile[/b][/i][/u]
Adelaide grew into utter cruelty early in life but wasn't feed until her late husband's initiation in to torture. A sadistic narcissistic woman who's sole purposes are few and feed into her own delight. While vain she isn't without a sense of loyalty to her protector, the only one person she had shown any sort of remorse or innocence to. Anything else is up to the whims of the moment. Having no problem sacrificing almost anyone as a means to an end. Seeing the world as her personal plaything and nothing more, enjoying the comforts that it has to the fullest effect as if it were to be her last. Religion play's no part in sort of standing in her life, believing if there are any gods that they're vicious cunts and have no worth in her life or prayers but does allow them under her dominion. Being cruel is one thing but does allow a sort of hope to those she intends to inflict dire pain. Survival is top priority, willing to do anything to keep going. Though if its hard to swallow she will make sure those to put her in despair to return the favor ten time over.

Garmin is a stoic man. One could render the flesh from his bones and not hear so much as moan of pain of suffering. Normally a quiet man despite is size, usually keeping his mind focused at the task at hand. Obedient as a loyal dog to no question, even if it were to put an entire village to the torch and kill its inhabitants. Its in combat that any visible emotion is split. Revealing in war and carnage. On occasion he goes into a blood lust that rivals a orc berserker, many claim its madness that have seen it but it makes Garmin more fearsome that just his armor and impressive size. Largely an insomniac but when he does sleep, everyone hears the pain and tortures from his past that he even hasn't spilt to Adelaide. When duty doesn't call, the drink does. While he is an alcoholic it takes entire barrels to get him drunk, drinking far more than what any normal man could safely drink.
