Zana was born to nobodies in the underbelly of the city. Her mother was a maid to a lesser noble and her father toiled on the docks. Despite their poor standing the family were a happy one until Zara's powers became to come to the fore. Her first vision was about the death of her father. At first she thought it was a bad dream and one she told her mother in tears the next morning, who assured her no such thing would happen. A week later there was a knock at the door and some of her fathers colleagues reported the accident word for word how Zana had told her. Her mother glanced at her daughter who had heard the whole thing and went to console her when her TK kicked in. With an ear splitting scream of grief and an explosion of power the small child sent every object in their small dwelling rocketing to the ceiling and then shooting away from her in every direction.

The Dreadlords arrived for her soon after.

As she underwent her training the visions began to grow more painful and more frequent but she kept it tight lipped. It helped that each of her visions was accompanied by another TK outburst usually triggered by the pain of the vision. Unsurprising that when it came to her "specialised" training it started with testing her to the limits of these gifts. During one such experiment a vision, which had previously only come to her at night or in the early hours of the morning, seized her body. It happened in front of one of the Luana aligned tutors.

In fact, all of her tutors seemed to be primarily advocates of Luana. The house with spies in every avenue of life were the only ones to overhear Zana's hysterical mother tell a friend in confidence about her daughter predicted her husbands death. The next day the other woman was dead and so was Zana's mother: nobody else would know this child's gift. Zana was relieved that someone finally knew of her gift and could help her gain some resemblance of control over it. What proceeded in the following years was agony, but she still stands by the fact it was needed to this day. They would induce her visions over and over until they became clearer, more pristine and accurate. She would spend weeks locked in squalid and torturous conditions to pinpoint what exactly triggered her powers and when.

Alongside this training came that of her TK, also done under gruelling circumstances to keep up appearances that that was in fact her main and sole gift. In a way she went through the trails twice side by side.

Based on her TK and other gifts Zana was made a Third Level Dreadlord. Considering all her tutors were House Luana and her poor background it seemed unsurprising that she swore her allegiance to them and most others lost interest in her after that: after all she was only a TK and they're as common as the muck she came from.

As the years marched on Zana's magic grew and then exploded when she was given the dark gift of another dreadlords soul. This dark endeavor lead to her meeting her now husband, Talus. Talus was a unique man already making waves by swearing to the Guards instead of a House and with dreams of a brighter future. As their love grew, Zana came to agree with his world view and pledged her own support to the Revolution.

During the Revolution fighting Zana was responsible for the death of one Archon and several high ranking Dreadlords from her own House. Her mother figure, Sloan, slayed another but in doing so lost her life. In her grief Zana rose to Archon levels of magic and performed a forbidden form of magic that summoned the Herald himself. Afterwards, filled with a deep grief and anger, Zana personally executed all Dreadlords who refused to swear to the new order earning herself the nickname; the Butcher of Vel Anir.

Taking voluntary retirement far away from Aniria, Talus and Zana welcomed their twins into the world. They would have been content to live a life away from their home but the echoes of the Revolution can still be felt, and so they help in the best way they can. Leading a Taskforce to capture or kill the remaining rogue Archon exiles.
