Victoria Maestro

=== Early life ===
Barely anything is known about Victoria Maestro's early life and childhood. As the younger sister of Harv Maestro, and the daughter of Zeno Maestro, she was sent as a teenager to the sunken lands of Jagdas to find artifacts of her great house. Sometime along her travels, she became quite the Soleviel zealot. Recently, however, she returned to the civilized lands, but not those she expected. On her way back to Saulot, her ships were blown northeast, into lands not known to her. Quickly however, she met people, and weirdly enough; they were Krobuni and called themselves Simulami. It was not long before she made herself known, and soon thereafter, she met with her father in Morgöd. She spoke to him at length, and the following day, Gr'en, the regentess of the colonies were summoned to a meeting with Zeno. Though many are unsure what happened, she dissapeared on the day of her meeting. It is unknown if she ever made it to the meeting, as there were reports of a scream being heard from her chambers shortly before the scheduled meeting.
=== High Inquisitor of Soleviel, and regentess of Eldham ===
No matter what happened to Gr'en, Victoria was immediatly instated as the regentess of Eldham by her father. She took little time to establish new and incredibly harsh religious policies, earning her the nickname "The Iron Lady". During a session of the Ulvian senate, she started a rivalry with the prince-regent of Stormgova county, Seal. She insulted his god, the Stormgovan guardian, calling it "an aspect of Caligo" (Caligo being the Soleviel god of the underworld and evil). Arguments broke out, which ended with a heated accusation from Seal about the dissapearence of Gr'en at the same time as Victoria's arrival to Eldham.
It is a well-known fact that Victoria despises all other religions than Soleviel, and has since she was appointed tried to make it high treason to be non-Soleviel, even if said person believes in an accepted religion in Simulami. It is only a matter of time before she makes even religions such as Forulian illegal...
Lately, she has made a decree forcing every Simulami Eldhamite citizen to gather materials for a dark tower. Nobody knows of its intentions, but many hedge their bets that it will be used as a device to spy on the inhabitants of the lands, in Victoria's endless need for purification.
=== A tale of a Serpent ===
Victoria's father, Zeno Maestro, wished to create a semi-religious spy and bandit group that would do his will. This spy network, known as the Krobuni Serpents, had no leader, but was, and still is, rumored to contain many influental people among its ranks. Victoria was sceptical at first about the Serpernt's, but was convinced by her father that she would be doing Solaris work, and she would kill heretics. Her way of banditry is quite special; she only kills those she percieves as heretics, and rarely keeps loot from those she kills. Instead, she will prefer to take the loot, and promise to return it if the person she kills follows her. Then, she ties the person up on top of a fire, and makes them confess their sins. After this, she lets them go, but first they must promise to convert to the Soleviel faith. This tactic is very heavily criticized by many Soleviel bishops, but, with Victoria's new rise to the Patriarchate, there are less and less who dare oppose her rule.
