Name: Selas
Age: Somewhere in her late thirties
Gender: Female
Appearance: I don't often wear a hat in public.
Personality: She rolls through life with a quiet confidence born from experience, a woman in black with more power and influence than you could ever fathom.
Or is that merely the impression she wants you to receive?
A deceiver, never showing her true colors, as warm or as cold as she ever needs to be. A professional, patient and pragmatic, consummate in her fulfillment of the role assigned. A spy, who knows things she really shouldn't, and who hides things you really wouldn't want to know. Who this woman is as a person is not something you'll ever find out; when she's on the job, she is the job. And once her work with you is done, chances are you'll never see her again.
In case you hadn't guessed by now, Selas is not her real name.
Abilities: Her Affinity is Secrets. The size and quality of her mana supply are unknown. The primary function of her magic is hiding information, and this includes hiding the actual extent of her abilities. Most forms of scrying, mind-reading, and supernatural perception simply don't work on her, turning up only a blank.
What is known is that her spells mostly work on recorded information. She can erase herself, or other people and objects, from photographs, video recordings, written descriptions, digital files, and even short-term memory. She can wipe key details from long-term memory, so long as she knows how the target first learned said details. From moment to moment she's as visible as anyone else, but after she's gone it's as if she wasn't ever there.
She has one familiar, the raven Oscurus. If someone has a secret, if someone is hiding something, it knows. It can track down hidden objects or people with unnerving ease, sniff out lies in an instant, and see through almost any form of magical illusion or concealment. However, this immensely powerful perception is purely instinctive: Oscurus cannot speak or understand any form of human language. It knows all secrets, but can only communicate them through weird bird noises or vague bird gestures, which somewhat limits its usefulness.
Skills: Selas is an excellent actress, a skilled liar, and has a nigh-unbeatable poker face. She's also quite stealthy when she wants to be, has a surprisingly deep knowledge of biology and chemistry, and is fluent in several languages.
Assets: At any given moment, she has concealed on her person several knives, a small handgun, up to three meters of razor wire, and two stun grenades.
She carries a locked satchel with her at all times.
Brief Backstory: Selas's family doesn't have a name. Their origins, numbers, goals, and allegiances are unknown. Most mages are aware to some degree of their existence, and that they perform work on behalf of certain families and Circles, but beyond that everything is a closely guarded secret, with only the most notable and influential figures in magical society being privy to the full story. On account of their affinities, members of the nameless family are often employed for covert or forbidden operations, which are required to be hidden for one reason or another.
It is unknown how or when the Ar-Rynesartes formed a contract with this family. Only that they did, and that the agreement had yet to expire. And that when called upon to serve, a woman nobody had ever seen or met before appeared out of nowhere...
