Pia Nalaar

Pia Nalaar is the mother of Chandra Nalaar and was the wife of Kiran Nalaar. She is the leader of the renegades in Ghirapur, Kaladesh, the Renegade Prime.

History

Pia and Kiran Nalaar were inventors, who secretly trafficked a controlled substance, the mystical aether, to those who needed it. When they discovered that their daughter was a fire mage, they fled Ghirapur to escape the Consulate forces that would try to eliminate what they perceived to be a threat. After their hiding place — the village of Burarat — was burned down by the troops of Captain Baral, Kiran was killed, Chandra was taken away to be executed and Pia was jailed.

In her cell, Pia was often visited by Baral, who delighted in reminding her what she had lost. As a consequence, Pia went from optimistic young inventor to impassioned revolutionary, vowing to challenge the Consulate and steer it away from tyranny and oppression.

It is unknown how Pia escaped.

Renegade Prime

According to the Consulate, Pia has a troubling public record, including malicious modification of devices, embezzlement of Consulate resources, and over a dozen counts of aether siphoning. Her appearence at the Inventors' Fair coincided with reports of renegade demonstrations. She was held reponsible for organizing these dangerous displays.

Pia had to face a formidable opponent when Head Judge Tezzeret managed to locate her. At the same moment her daughter Chandra, who she had presumed to be dead, showed up with her friend Liliana. When head inspector Dovin Baan also arrived, sending gearhulks against her daughter to restrict her, Pia willingly turned herself into custody again.
