Halifax Novascotia

Grand-Mistress Halifax Novascotia was the Grandmaster of the Knights of Adarnum during the mid-400s A.U.
== History ==
Halifax was the scion of a noble lineage, the daughter of a major Shantine Lord and the niece of both the Empress Theoboda Kataph and the Patriarch Balmor Wenceslas of Korinth. Rather than becoming Grandmaster of the KoA on her merits, Halifax was instead selected as the future Grandmaster at birth and raised specifically for the title. As such, by the time she became Grandmaster she was younger than many other leaders of Shantine institutions, and was often disliked by older members even of her own KoA.
Halifax was responsible for many extreme actions during her tenure, including the infiltration of the Fialta Imperial Navy (through the her Skinchanger agent Ascalabus) and orchestrating the Fialt Null Bomb Disaster. Her efforts to arm Kirvans and provoke sectarian violence on Zanevuela in the Confederate Crisis played a large and bloody role in the Second Coalition War.
At the signing of the Treaty of Tar'Thalran in , Grand-Mistress Novascotia killed herself and Serene Doge Bareth Aefendt (along with two Thalranese Lords) in a suicide bombing, out of the mistaken conviction that Doge Bareth was in fact the shadowy Aeldman politician Mimir. The assassination was originally believed to have been carried out by the Fialta Nationalist terrorist group "Fialta Unbowed".
Halifax was succeeded as KoA Grandmaster by Arren Kane, the second son of the wealthy Kane dynasty of Brumaire and a highly commended senior commander of KoA operations on Zanevuela.
== Personality ==
Halifax was rather unhinged. She fully believed that the ends would justify the means, and used her blanket approval from the Shantine government to do whatever she believed would be most helpful to Kirvanism and the Shantine Empire, no matter the optics or how bloody the consequences.
Halifax held several strong and often very irrational convictions. In addition to her belief that Bareth was secretly Mimir, she was also highly prejudiced against the secular Alusian state and the entire Fialta Race, and fully believed herself to be completely impervious to fire (a conviction held so strongly that she did not even feel the need to ever test it).
