Nisa Redfern

Nisa Redfern is a formerly-human woman who prefers to appear with long black hair, tanned skin and an almost enchanting beauty about her. In actuality, she is a lich, and those who approach her experience a deep, unsettling feeling despite her illusions. A wizard who seems to boast at least some level of power, she was first met in the Underdark, reading comfortably in a lawn chair from a personal library and wearing a blue travelling dress, seemingly oblivious to the inherent dangers of the untamed caves. She wears sunglasses regardless of the level of ambient light, and has a cadre of dumpy servant skeletons, the Skeleton Crew, who follow her around loyally; one in particular is dressed in robes, seems to possess some intelligence, and is called Mr. Bones. Though polite and reasonable, she has an arrogant and somewhat patronizing demeanor, as well as an interest in knowledge and rare artifacts: as a member of the lost civilization of Valparaiso, she is intrigued by anything she can find of her long-dead kinsmen.
Shinobi and Koshik met Nisa in the Underdark when they fell into the small, barren fortress she was currently occupying. They both quickly and unquestioningly agreed to work for her in the task of locating and delivering ancient or magical rarities discovered in the Underdark after she agreed to pay slightly more than Prof. Yianni, presumably saving her the effort of finding them herself. Her purpose for occupying the fortress was to locate a lost tomb beneath it, so that she might collect the enchanted crown worn by the entombed king. When she nearly had it in her hand, Shinobi stole it, abandoning Koshik to her wrath in his haste to escape.
While she mourned its lost, Ryuji, Caitlyn and Cress stumbled into her campsite, offering her their Valparasian ship in exchange for the moon pearl held in the king's staff she had recently recovered. Learning of Mirilarin from them, particularly of the still-living descendants of the famous elven experiment, she agreed to travel with them, helping them to banish the All from their homeland in exchange for more knowledge of Valparaiso. When the task was complete, she continued about her unlife, the magnitude of the event she had been involved in not phasing her in the slightest.
Nisa is friends with the gorgon Magdha.
