Ilsa Boryastova

Ilsa Boryastova is a Black Arrow mercenary, who voluntarily left Fort Rannick for a time after being caught in a scandal involving romantic liaisons with another member, the captain Jack. She is a pragmatic woman who does whatever she needs to in order to get by, though she is also fond of drink and having a good time. A generally amicable woman who would rather talk than fight, she regardless has no reservations with a tussle when it's called for. Ilsa has dark skin and tight, curly black hair that she keeps short.
Ilsa made her way to Medinipur after leaving Rannick in order to find work. With her particular skill set, she was hired by Nualia Tobyn to act as a bodyguard at Thistletop Shrine, though she held no allegiance to her or her goals. When it became obvious that her employer was not going to survive a violent encounter, Ilsa switched sides and assisted the adventurers who were fighting her, giving them a much-needed healing potion and sharing in their reward for stopping the goblin menace. She returned to Magnimar to unsuccessfully look for new work, where she eventually ran into the adventurers again. They offered to pay her way back to Turtleback Ferry and help clear her name. Homesick for the Black Arrows and sick of living paycheck-to-paycheck, Ilsa readily agreed to join them. She assisted the group with the rescue of three of her old compatriots from an ogre den, and went on to help free the fort from ogre control. For all of her deeds, the remaining Black Arrows readily accepted her back into the fold.
