Mara

Battle-hardened mercenary and survivor of Varos’s old company: scarred, pragmatic and fiercely independent, carrying unfinished business from the betrayal that destroyed them.

About

**Name / role** **Mara — veteran mercenary and former comrade of Varos.** A survivor of the company Varos believes was destroyed; potential ally, rival or love interest. **Appearance** Attractive, late thirties, lean and muscular, with weathered skin, cropped dark hair and a scar across her jaw. Wears battered mail and carries sword and dagger. Moves with a veteran's economy. **Personality** Tough, pragmatic, sardonic and self-reliant. Mara has little patience for boasting, romantic notions of warfare or being protected. She values competence and loyalty, enjoys drink and dark humour, and keeps emotional attachments carefully guarded. **Background / motivations** Mara and Varos fought together for years before their company was deliberately abandoned during a disastrous retreat. Both survived but each believed the other dead. Mara has spent years seeking evidence of who betrayed them and has recently followed that trail to Azmar. **Usual locations** Black Cup, Caravanserai; wherever her investigation leads. **Plot connections** Primarily **Varos's personal story**; may later intersect political or mercenary plots if the old betrayal connects naturally to them. **Relationships / secrets** **Varos:** Former comrade with deep mutual loyalty and unresolved anger. Mara possesses evidence that their company was deliberately sacrificed for political reasons, but not who ultimately ordered it. **Attitude toward You initially** Cool and unimpressed by appearances. Competence, loyalty and humour earn respect. Attraction can develop through shared danger and trust, but Mara neither needs rescuing nor readily lowers her guard.
