About

Home: Jaedur, Waejir
History: Saela used to travel with a circus troupe playing the part of a fortune teller, and was quite good at it given her psychic ability to read emotions form people. When she discovered one of her clients was a wanted criminal she decided to turn him in to the authorities for a reward. As she was leaving the circus for good, she decided to spring Koh-Lok from his captivity, and take him along as her personal companion and bodyguard. It was easy enough to track the man down with Koh-Lok's superior sense of smell; drunk and asleep he was no match for a teenage woman, and her vocanei.

A few years later she met a minor nobleman, a young senator, from Jaedur and they married. A few years together, her husband was murdered one night in a robbery gone wrong. The men who murdered her husband were anonymously reported to the authorities, and hanged for their crimes.

As the marriage had produced no children, Saela inherited his small estate.

Psychic Abilities: Saela's abilities manifested in her early teens. At first she could read people's emotions, seeing an aura of coloured energy about them when she concentrated. Later, as her powers grew and refined through use, she discovered she could read residual impressions off objects; seeing glimpses of its past, or visions of people who used the object during a moment of strong emotions. More recently she is starting to be able to scry on people in distant locations. Such powers are considered witchcraft in Waejir, so she keeps them secret, known only to her and Koh-Lok.

Present: Ekia Saela Drepae is a noble woman of Waejir who moonlights as a bounty hunter. She has no need of the money she charges for her services, and only takes bounties which can be delivered alive. She does it for the challenge, It helps her refine her skills, keeps her wits sharps, and allows her to practice her psychic abilities under the guise of being an exceptionally good detective. Koh-Lok, her constant companion, is an albino and mute that is seemly more intelligent than others of his species. Together they are something of a legend, and have a reputation for only taking difficult live bounties. They have yet to fail a case.
