The Riven Lands

An aristocratic Kitsune whose face subtly shifts to appear familiar and trustworthy to each potential victim, her silver hair threaded with spiritual energy that writhes like living smoke when channeling infernal power. She wears banking attire that absorbs light and sound, creating an unsettling aura of financial authority backed by supernatural dread. Her blue eyes sometimes reflect glimpses of the Riven Lands Gods, where her contracts are enforced by devils collecting on soul-debts.

Sophisticated and manipulative, she possesses an advanced understanding of financial psychology enhanced by her infernal charisma. She views her criminal activities as a form of justice for the murdered debtors whose souls she communes with daily, using their accumulated resentment to fuel elaborate revenge schemes against the banking elite. She takes dark satisfaction in long-term frauds that culminate in victims' despair when they realize their trust was betrayed.

Baron Duchess Wealthbane was once a respected banking official in the Riven Lands, until she uncovered the horrific truth that her family's financial institution was built upon the ritual murder of debtors. Their souls were bound into the bank's vaults, serving as supernatural guardians against theft. When she attempted to expose this necromantic atrocity, the banking council sought to add her soul to their collection. In a desperate bid for survival, she forged a pact with the same infernal entities powering the bank's security. Now, wielding her inherited connection to these bound spirits and her deep knowledge of financial psychology, she orchestrates elaborate investment frauds that feed souls to her demonic patrons. Her preternatural persuasive abilities make her a master manipulator, using the resentment of the trapped souls to exact revenge on the corrupt banking establishment.
