Riggilla the Dark

Shadowlord Riggilla was a Half-Drow, leading member of the Shadowmasters of Telflamm.

Description
Riggilla was lithe and athletic, standing 5 feet and 2 inches tall while only weighing a scant 120 pounds. She had dusky skin due to her elven heritage but claimed it to be due to her mastery of shadow magic, her slightly pointed ears however gave away the truth. Another mark of her drow heritage was her naturally silver hair which she kept cut short and dyed black.

Riggilla's facial features were harsh and somewhat masculine, a fact she used to pass for being male most of the time.

Personality
Due to her troubled upbringing, Riggilla neither felt emotions of kindness or pity and was therefore ruthless in her role as Shadowlord.

Riggilla rarely ever spoke of herself, and especially not about her early life.

Early life
Riggilla was born within an unknown drow fortification in the Underdark near the nation of Thesk, but was left to die at the jaws of the monsters within the region. A group of duergar spies however soon found her and judged her to be a good eventual slave and potentially valuable spy against the drow, and as such chose to raise her.

As Riggilla grew older, she was told by the gray dwarves that they had bought her as a slave from her parents. As planned, this caused Riggilla to grow resentful towards her drow-kin, and the dwarves began training her in the quiet arts of thievery and assassination, as well as granting her further comforts. However, in spite of their efforts, Riggilla never gave up her hatred towards the duergar either, and as such, they chose to slay their failed experiment.

Once again left for dead within the Underdark, Riggilla somehow managed to survive and escape to the surface of Faerûn.
