Drisinnil Ty'ainadr (also known as The Masked Traitor) is a renegade drowess who is a follower of the drow god Vhaeraun. Very strange in her choice of deity, as there are usually never any females in his service. She claims herself to be the fourth Masked Traitor, or female Vhaeraunite, but this is uncertain to be true or not. Her complexion isn't quite as charismatic as other drowesses, but this doesn't seem to bother her, as she sacrificed beauty for strength, giving her a toned look. She has the standard look of drow, long white hair, red eyes and black skin. She normally wears her hair up so that it won't fly in her face as she battles, utilizes a thick leather armor that isn't meant to be skin tight, but not loose either. Finally, she wears a black mask with a gold symbol on the lower left cheek across her face. The only weapons ever visible seem to be her short swords, one a shiny silver, the other as black as her flesh. Her personality can change drastically based on the situation, can go from loving and caring, to savage murderer, diplomat to interrogator. She is calculating, not one to jump off a bridge as apposed to walking across it, but can if necessary. She prefers to avoid fights that are guaranteed to be way over her head.

History

Few know her actual history, but she isn't the most silent with her companions. She was born in 1808 DR to Uilvirsta and Badpuppy in the surface city of Stormreach. She was a relatively happy child, and always curious and exploring her home, trusting her parents about being very cautious when going outside, if ever. When she was old enough to go to school, she met another dark-elf child like herself called Elizazy. They were fast friends, but when Drisinnil invited Elizazy to her house, something warded her out. They couldn't understand it but didn't seem to care as Uilvirsta lowered the wards to let them in.

It wasn't too long after that a discovery was made; Elizazy is the child of the malefic Nerltyrr (whom the wards were made for, therefore Elizazy was blocked by blood relations) and that Drisinnil is in fact Nerltyrr's niece as well. When Uilvirsta first knows of Elizazy's parent, she demands that she never go near their home again, the first of a line of bad choices Uilvirsta shall make. This severely enrages the young Drisinnil who leaves after Elizazy. Seeing her mistake, Uilvirsta asks forgiveness and takes back what she said.

When Nerltyrr invites Elizazy to join her down in Menzoberranzan, she gladly accepts and asks Drisinnil if she'd want to come. Wanting to be with her friend, she begs her mother for them to move down with Nerltyrr. Uilvirsta's second mistake: she says yes. The family moves down into House Ty'ainadr of Menzoberranzan and almost immediately, the two youngsters are sent to Arach-Tinilith.

When they return, they are full grown adults in service to the spider goddess Lolth. Elizazy is gladly accepted by her mother and the members of the House, though scornfully. Drisinnil is also accepted among them, but when she goes to see her mother, she finds Badpuppy dead and her mother rejects her because of her now much more savage mind. Drisinnil at first thinks hatefully to it, but the words burn into her, weighing her down more and more until she barely does anything other than try and out do Elizazy or get Uilvirsta's attention. This goes for roughly a month before she decides to visit her birthplace. But at the nearby lake, she is spotted by her mother and runs, Uilvirsta chasing after. This looks like the end of Drisinnil, but it's not. Uilvirsta catches her, and mournfully apologizes to her daughter for invoking this pain. With some doubt and reluctance, Drisinnil does accept, and they move back to their old home.

Drisinnil then is visited by The Masked Lord Vhaeraun and converted to his faith. She dons the title of Masked Traitor and the items she uses today. Upon becoming a Vhaeraunite, Elizazy appears and attacks Drisinnil. She narrowly escapes with her life from her former friend. After this, she spends her time on the surface, in the city Sshamath, and from time to time in Menzoberranzan, avoiding the Ty'ainadr house members. There she meets the vampire Caenlitan and the drow male Tuusan. She learns that their combined efforts and Tuusan's life were able to slay Nerltyrr once, but she again returned from death. None the less, she befriended the vampire and a human called Runeshot, who had killed Nerltyrr once as well. She never personally fought Nerltyrr herself.

The Present and Future

Presently, Drisinnil is on the quest with many others to the east end of the world to slay Deiztanith. When her mother mysteriously vanished one night in a small town, she found a little girl whom seemed to be in relentless amount of pain. She took the child back to her room and granted the young drowess some protection. Unknown to her, Nerltyrr had been "playing" and messed with Uilvirsta's age to this age so she can take advantage of her easier, and also changed Drisinnil's memory of her mother, not having the name Uilvirsta but Yveten. It was the day after that she learned the child's name was Uilvirsta and adopted the miserable child.

They then leave the town for Waterdeep, but when they get there, Drisinnil is attacked and snatched up by a Phaerimm and taken to a mysterious castle. Within, Drisinnil meets the lord of the castle, a vampire lord and his spawn. Despite her resistances, she is turned into another one of the lord's spawn, his personal favorite. Drisinnil is cut off from the Masked Lord as of this time. It is a few days before the party comes for her, but they aren't prepared for what Drisinnil is. She kidnaps her second aunt, Perenell's, child Eilmor and turns her into a creature of the night. She then does the same on Uilvirsta, but after a brief while, she finds out she has been fooled and is then struck by Uilvirsta's silver weapon, a gift from Xull'rya. She is then captured by Nerltyrr and Xull'rya and they demand Uilvirsta to destroy her vampiric mother. When she refuses, Nerltyrr takes Drisinnil away and turns her back to living in the most painful way possible. She then participates in the final battle against the vampires.

Once they leave the undead castle, Eilmor turns herself back to normal. They then reach the city of Ahmiran on the edge of the desert. There, Drisinnil recruits Akkuri and Donniya to the group and meets two Blades, Gavrie and Vladmire. She learns of Gavrie's wild thoughts in his journal of loving a drowess. She finds this amusing until later in she finds the person he loves in his fantasy is her. This disgusts her at first, Gavrie the half elf with a Masked Traitor? But then she chooses to investigate and learns of how fanatic he is about it. She hadn't seen someone act like this, it was very amusing. But when she does show herself and tell of everything she is, it's surprising to find that it is actual love for her. As she learns of him, she finds indeed she has feelings for him. But her deceptive nature might have some use of this.

She then finds that Perenell had tried to fight Nerltyrr and lost her life in the battle and that she had taken away Eilmor as well. She doesn't see Eilmor later until she appears again and threatens Drisinnil's life, saying that Eilmor is no more, now someone called Haeldriia. Eilmor and Haeldriia become split personalities in the same body, constantly warring with each other, trying a few times at Drisinnil's life again. It's not until they have left the city and when Haeldriia attacks Uilvirsta that it's over. Eilmor stabs herself in the heart to prevent Haeldriia from hurting her friends and family. Drisinnil personally performs the burial rights for both Perenell and Eilmor.

Equipment

Drisinnil rarely uses different weapons, despite her proficiency with them. She wields a black short-sword that seems to allow her to fight just a few moments faster than otherwise, as if the sword itself was hungry for blood. Her second sword is designed to be more coordinated and better at defense. She wears leather armor that is bound to her Vhaeraunite mask. The armor itself is meant to allow more dodging ability and even fully absorb some blows. Her mask allows her to see further distances and have some protection from light. The mask also seems to have small spell blocking powers.

Abilities

Another weapon at her disposal is her Vhaeraunite divine magic, but this isn't very strong. She has also come under the tutelage of Xull'rya in arcane magic, showing some proficiency in it. She has also very lightly dabbed into psionics, but the most she can do as of the present is read a troll's brain activity, as there is so little.
