Sister Imesand
The obviously canine features of the unofficial Communal leader, Sister Imesand, has been the subject of much speculation. She is believed to be the daughter of a human and a Moon Dog (using its change self ability), although others believe her to be half-lupinal. Others claim she is not an aasimar at all, but half-arcanoloth. Imesand herself has said nothing to verify or deny any of these rumours. When asked about her family, she smiles and says "The Communals sect is my family. All who share are my brothers and sisters."
What is known about Imesand is that she spent her youth in a monastery in Bytopia. When the Communals went head-to-head with the Lady of Pain, some of them fled to Bytopia. Imesand's monastery gave them sanctuary. Imesand became enamoured of the Comrades‚ generosity and community spirit, and joined the faction. A natural leader, she gained great respect and clout within the former faction, and helped them gain a foothold in Perfection Through Work. She persuaded the former rulers of what is now the Palace of All to give away all they owned to their new "family" in the Communals.
She has been a never ending source of inspiration for the battered sect, and many now believe a re-entry into Sigil under Imesand's leadership is within their sight. Imesand insists that all Comrades share everything, including leadership, and is therefore not officially the factol of the Communals. However, by her fellow Comrades, she is regarded as a saint.
If Imesand could be said to have a flaw, it is her naiveté. Disciplined self-sacrifice and unconditional generosity come easy to her, and she sees no reason why it cannot be so for all creatures. She simply does not understand the concepts of greed and self-interest, nor how good individuals can (and do) often possess these characteristics. A few assassination attempts (all unsuccessful) on Imesand's life seem to indicate that not all Comrades agree with her leadership, either. One notable suspect is Prince Naltos.
