Claudia

The Princess of the Vel'Karis, first mentioned by Factus Formis while in the Ruins of Starcrest, the apparent child of Praeteris and Stelli'Aris, the supposed Princess of the Vel'Karis was unknown to the great citizenry, and Factus had simply stumbled upon her long before the disappearance of his people.
Factus had apparently stumbled across her on his way to Irenes Outpost, where she introduced herself by name, and claimed to have met the strange Black Dogs that had previously been seen by other members of Group Alpha by complete coincidence, claiming it "Came to her". She stated that the title of Princess is one that she no longer holds, and that her son Daedalus could explain more about the fate of the Vel'Kari people.
Claudia claimed that she had been locked away by her parents, for some offense of which she cannot remember. She told Group Alpha she sought them, seeking to repent in some way. She also said that something had drawn her towards Northern Duloris, though she didn't know what.
Claudia seemed very defensive of the Vel'Kari people and Empire, as well as its ruler. She belittled Julius Von Parvel and Nathaniel Lightheart, saying that the defeat of Tiamat at the hands of The Four Mythic Heroes was them "Picking at the scraps" of the Vel'Kari, much to their dismay.
A supposed "Prince of the Vel'Karis" was seen in a letter within those same ruins, though Claudia claimed to not know who that was.
As seen portrayed on The Wall, Claudia once wielded Nemesis, The God Killer Blade in battle against her parents, during the Vel'Kari Civil War, which she began. She was unable to defeat her creators, and was cast out, along with her fellow rebels, with her being banished for a period of 100 years. During this time, her sword found its way into the hands of Khyber, and so, at the behest of Kasdri Valmorn, Claudia agreed to help destroy her in exchange for the blade.
=== Appearance ===
A tall, lean woman of Elven descent, Claudia has snow white hair which is longer on her right side, and vibrant light orange eyes. She was seen wearing a black, nearly purple cloak with an orange trim, and a white Vel'Kari military uniform, with dark grey underclothes and pants. She was also seen carrying a purple hilted sword at her hip.
While in Northern Duloris, Group Alpha encountered Claudia, discovering a drastically changed appearance. Gone was her uniform, replaced instead by a black silken shawl. Her hair has grown significantly, and her entire body has become thin and emaciated. She was also carrying a wooden staff which had white feathers attached.
