Letta Callistal
"Revenge, vengeance, retribution, retaliation... this story never ends. It only begins again."
Quaestor
A face set in what seems to be a permanent unpleasant countenance, such a display paints Letta unapproachable, but those that saw her worth past this facade learned quickly that she was a worthy ally and friend. It is her determination to do her family proud that Letta has applied herself as best as she could at the College, having worked past her impatience to attend by talking herself out from giving herself up to the Church of Jura to become a Penitent. Her magical abilities only set the bar for her to do better, to become something valuable in the service of Gild.Praetor
Receiving her Holy Accolade after four years of education, Letta did not hesitate to go into the service of the military. It had been her goal for almost a decade to become a Praetor of importance and provide for her family. In her first year as Praetor, Letta successfully asserted herself a reputation for hunting down magic, with an accuracy better than a Regulator's Censers.The Bloodhound of Gild
Her magical abilities came to fruition at the age of thirteen, and in those years waiting to attend the War College, Letta had learned to keep her abilities in check. It is as if she were born a creature made to detect, hunt, and dispel magic. In these years of wating, Letta tested her ability to detect magic and follow it's trace, lending to her tendency of being curious. By the time she graduated from the College, her skills were improved, and could follow a magical trace dating more than a month of being used/casted.There is a minor strain to her anti-magical abilities, the ability to absorb any magic used against her. This aspect is the least used of her abilities due to the fact it takes time for her magic to dispel all that energy stored, and can disturb her sleep, her focus and attention, and skew the hunt. In small doses, and on rare occassions at that, would Letta devour any magic that meant her harm.
Not always used to hunt down magical properties, her magic has helped keep track of Praetors or Penitents within Gild. The last thing she would want was to be surprised, to not be vigilant. If she were lost from her unit, she could always find her way back to them, and she could find her way back to Gild.
Biography & Lore
Her family have been in Gild for some generations now, even adopting the Gildan fashion of surnames to turn Callastian to Callistal. Heralding from Alliria, her great grandfather met a Praetor from Gild and ultimately followed her back to her home. So at peace in this new home, he was willing to adopt a great many GIldan practices, and observed their religion.But the family were never well off. Teetering on the edge of the Class of Silver, the Callistal's made ends meet with their profession of being skilled stone carvers. A lack of work has seen the family struggle, only surviving on cheaper meals and living in a smaller home, Letta could not wait to get out of the home housing three generations and vowed to see her younger siblings grow up with room to breathe.
