Keris Aquilla

Keris Aquilla, known as the Commandant, is the is the cruel, merciless, and malevolent leader at Blackcliff Academy.
==Character Background==
Keris is slim and small in stature with a deceptively willowy form. She has jet black hair that she always wears in a stiff knot at her neck. Her eyes are slate grey and her features are cut-glass. Her skin is chalk-white and she bears a rippling scar down the side of her face.
Not much is known of Keris's history. She attended Blackcliff herself, where she graduated at the top of her class, as good a warrior as any man. Her graduation caught the attention of many as she was the first woman to do so in nearly twenty years; no woman has graduated since. After that, the records end and the rumors abound. She did not join the Nightstalker Regiment like most graduates; it is theorized that she served directly under Luitpold I as his personal agent, or as an outrider in the lands beyond the Empire. Regardless of the case, when her records next arise around 2460 IC, she had already amassed an incredible amount of political power. She leveraged her influence to acquire a large swathe of land for her father before being appointed the next Commandant of Blackcliff following the former Commandant's untimely death.
As Commandant, Keris is singularly cruel. She takes great satisfaction in mercilessly punishing students for breaking any of Blackcliff's numerous rules. Her favorite way of hurting others is by hurting someone close to her victim. The treatment of her slaves, all Rosellan, is no better. She deliberately forces them to be called by their position, such as "Cook" and "Kitchen-Girl", punishing them if they use their names. To mark her slaves as her property, she disfigures them such that no other will ever want them.
