[@Utrax] I was thinking another ratfolk, perhaps a female, and one who was more of a paladin character. She would have actually found the party, and led them to Ampere's home town from somewhere else, and would have actually helped out the party in several random encounters, and maybe even a boss battle before finding her way to the rat city, getting caught using magic (divine magic, in her case, but they don't care.), and then set up for execution. Basically, if someone was going through the backstory of our characters as if it were a game, they'd think that my character was just a temporary replacement for her.
