Personality
Hard working, Kind, and Caring would be how people describe her now, However as The Red Wolf of The Wolves she had been the cold, calculated steel to her sister fiery blood lust.
She had never been heard raising her voice in anger, or seen having her temper flare though some would call it more unnerving and frightening than her younger sister swinging moods and hair trigger temper. At least when someone had a temper you could react. No one ever knew who was or wasnt on Kyla's good side. Ever.
She just seemed to always follow the most logical route to her objective regardless of how morally wrong, underhanded, brutal, or down right evil her methods were. The old Kyla rests now. Like a monster resting beneath the waves of a calm, beautiful lake. Ready to wake and resurface should she ever be prodded.
Biography & Lore
The oldest daughter to a clan leader in The Spine. Kyla was born to lead.
After a long conflict she the orc tribes they constantly warred with for territory finally won out. Taking his daughters captive they beheaded Kyla's father in front of her and her sisters at the tender age of 16. From then on she was a slave.
She grew up being beaten, raped, and worked to death watching her sisters being served the same dish as well. Soon the middle sister was dragged away from the slave pit and was never seen again. Worried she would lose her last sister and being fed up with the abuse they toiled through everyday.. Kyla hatched a plan to free them. After they escaped the sisters now 19 and 16 made their way to Elbion.
Having no real skills or trades but black smithing, and finding no one willing to take a girl and her younger sister in to apprentice Kyla found they soon fell to more crooked methods. After mugging a noble after killing his guard they were finally caught.
Cooling their heels in an Elbion prison awaiting execution a mysterious woman came to them dismissing the guards.
Each was given a choice. Life or death. Looking back on it Kyla would have far preferred death had she known what tortures they had in store for her and her sister....
They were working to create a magically enhanced solder, They felt no pain, showed no fear, no mercy, and held no regret for their actions. The process itself was quite trial by error, thus they needed meat to replace every failure, and there were many of those.
Finally her and her sister caught a lucky break. After a particularly nasty round of experiments they were both though to be dead. They woke up in different parts of a covered wagon as it rolled form the college. They made their escape when the man stopped to dump the bodies slipping from the back of the wagon.
After this it seemed at least some of the goals of the experiments had left them with various talents they had not previously possessed, and while not an invincible fighting force the college had imagined they were still quite formidable. Using this to their advantage they soon had quite the reputation as bandits, and mercenaries.
Kyla bearing an exact match of her own tattoo except in red soon came to be known as The Red Wolf and Ferelith known as The Blue Wolf. Together they carved out a life together. Always looking for ways to make ends meet and scrape by by any means necessary. They soon had a network for smuggling stolen wares to shops in other cities and using that moeny set up a forge. They then began supplying, and smuggling arms to rebellions with the quality of weapon, and the cheap price complemented the often meager finical situations many rebellions were in. They undercut the competion by playing ball with the rebels rather than preying on thier desperation to unload low quality weapons for exorbitant prices. Soon they began recruiting more smugglers, guards to ride with them and even a caravan network to help keep her fences in various cities satified. Any gangs trying to cut in on her buissness, disrupt her carvans or kill her people were dealt with swiftly, and any guards to noble to get on the take soon found themselves deathly ill with a case of the "Arrowthroughtheneck-Itis" Or a raging case of "Skinnedalivewithmyskinpinnedtothewallofmyguardshed-Itis." Both sicknesses many rarely came back from.
The Elbion Wolves were born.
Due to such cut throat tactics and well calculated aggression by the time Kyla turned 21 her and her sister had finally made enough to buy a manor house along with the land surrounding it and expanded the forge.
Soon at Kyla's request they started toning down operations. Leaving many of they gang to move on to other things and began utilizing the large amount of space the manor offered and began taking in orphans and teaching them to smith, farm, and raise animals. Every smiling face confirming that none would be sent down the wrong path at the mercy of circumstance. Soon it became where Kyla lived more and more in her forge constantly working with a loving zeal for her work.
Soon her sister Ferelith began to grow restless as the need to rob and cheat became less and less needed or even accepted as Kyla began worrying about what influence her sister may have on the children that passed through.
After an earth shattering fight Ferelith strapped on her claymore and left to carve out a life for herself how she saw fit. Kyla still works for surrounding people as well as the occasional under the table arms deal, but as the days pass she seems more and more content with her life even as the guilt of the blood money used for everything she has now haunts her like a never wavering specter.
