A thought-portrait of the Scoundrel Lady
Iodini Svarthein
Better known in most quarters as the Scoundrel Lady, Iodini Svarthein claims to have grown up in the Southern Wastes of Orric. However, everything she says must be assumed to be a deception. What is known as fact is that Iodini Svarthein arrived in Caste as a young woman. She proceeded to inveigle her way into polite society where she proceeded to seduce and rob a number of wealthy and influential gentlemen. By the time she fled Caste, with lawdogs and mercenaries at her back, Svarthein had amassed a huge fortune. She fled to Gwar, where she fell in with legendary adventurer, Anathon Desperey. They had a whirlwind love affair that culminated with them robbing the Baron Marshstep of a fortune in esoteric gemstones. Afterwards, the Scoundrel Lady betrayed Desperey to the lawdogs to cover her tracks, and fled to Astropolis. She lived there for several decades, enjoying a prolonged youth thanks to her fortune. Eventually, she returned to the World and resumed her wicked ways, stealing from the mega-rich and vanishing into the night. The Scoundrel Lady vanished during the early days of the Clock Wars. Her current whereabouts and activities are unknown.
