==Personality==
Shabella was greedy, and tyrannical in her control over the guild and the city of Bezantur.
==Activities==
Under her leadership, the thieves' guild operating out of the Temple of Mask was one of the most powerful institutions in Bezantur, with leverage over the merchants and the guards. She took a personal cut of all temple donations and all guild activities.
==Relationships==
She always made sure to keep Tharchion Aznar Thrul well bribed, and always sent him a nice fruit basket each year on the day of Bezantur's founding.

As the head of Bezantur's mighty thieves' guild, Shabella was one of the most powerful people in the city by the late 1360s DR, with even Aznar Thrul effectively in her pocket. However, as of the , the Shadowmaster of Telflamm had begun operating in the city, and were undermining her and her guild's influence.
