Description
Appearance
Althea is 5'6". Her hair is black and her eyes are green.
Personality
"She is an arrogant, cold, controlled woman, who treats her juniors with an air of menace and condescension. When she is angered, she reacts with a cold, Icy [sic] calm, her words full of menace and threat. She may be chaotic, but she is a disciplined priestess, not prone to making foolhardy or over-hasty decisions."[1]
Religion
Althea is a High Priestess of Iuz, one of two to hold this position, the other being Halga.
Abilities
Home
Althea is the Iuz-appointed ruler of Molag, replacing the Horned Society following Iuz's conquest. However, like her fellow Boneheart members, her time is divided between here and Dorakaa, with Lesser Boneheart Marynnek ruling in her absence.
Equipment and possessions
Befitting a top spellcaster in service to Iuz, Althea possesses many magic items complimenting her existing spellcasting abilities. These include a blackstaff, bonewand, ebon skull, rings of free action and spell storing, a phylactery of faithfulness, a special figurine of wondrous power that animates into a goat-headed nalfeshnee and two candles of invocation.
Relationships
While competing with Halga to be the superior High Priestess, Althea simultaneously keeps a tenuous alliance with her, forming a faction opposing the others in the Greater Boneheart, such as Kermin Mind-Bender and another faction formed between Jumper and Null.
Enemies
Althea holds a particular enmity for Eclavdra, likely fearing her growing presence in Iuz's court.
Allies and minions
Althea keeps numerous fiends in her service, ad bodyguards and handmaidens in her quarters in the Boneheart Citadel.
