Red Knight
(a.k.a. Lady of Strategy, Grandmaster of the Dragon board)
Calm and logical in demeanor, the Red Knight displays a great wealth of compassion, though she is unafraid to send her worshipers to their deaths when necessary to secure the object of a plan. She rarely raises her voice and is said to love a good joke and have a throaty laugh. She dislikes flighty behavior, and looks unfavorably upon those who switch alliances often or capriciously.
The Red Knight looked to Tempus as a father figure and spent a great amount of time with him. Most often they were busy visiting ongoing battles in Thalia or reviewing those of the past, but they were also known to simply hunt together or share stories in his feasting hall. On Tempus's part, his relationship with her was much like that of a father to his daughter, a fond and protective one whose brilliant child worked hard and well in the family business, that being war. It was he who had sponsored her ascension to a demigod after her death and encouraged her worship, and only him who knew her true name.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
The Red Knight always appeared in blood-red plate mail, her presence commanding attention and respect. Her long braids of dark hair streamed out behind her while her eyes gleamed like ruby stars.
Social
Contacts & Relations
The Red Knight saw Valkur, the god of sailors, as her best ally in the disposition of naval conflicts.
The Red Knight reserved her greatest animosity for Cyric; even if she didn't despise him as the utmost of traitors and deceivers, the Lady of Strategy would still deem him a poor planner. Though she disliked Garagos, the Red Knight had not personally come to blows with him. The Bloodreaver harbored deep resentment to both her and her superior, though unless his destructiveness could some day compensate for his tactical ineptitude, he would suffer if they ever did battle. Her distaste for Garagos was based in what Tempus had told her of him, and some speculated that Tempus granted the Red Knight her divinity so that she could serve as his natural counterbalance.
