Marchesa d'Amati

Marchesa a.k.a. The Black Rose is a scheming woman of high lineage at the High City of Paliano on the plane of Fiora. She is one of the main players vying for control of Paliano. Marchesa's mansion towers over the palatial homes of her neighbors, each extra story a mark of her success.

Trained in the king’s court at Paliano from an early age, Marchesa found herself edged aside for the throne of Fiora by her less competent brothers. She resentfully left the court to gain influence over revolutionaries and assassins who appreciated her genius. Her network of spies and rogues now controls much of the High City.

Marchesa has raven-black hair, pinned up with ornate pins, and usually wears the fashion of the older women in Paliano. On each finger she has a ring, each expensive and ornate and each housing a different poison. She employs zombies to guard her safety.
