## Biography

### Running Away

Nearly eight months before coming of age, Laurie survived an assassination attempt in her own room. Sir Frednor Luris, head of Laurie's personal guard, was killed in this attempt on her life. He died right outside of Laurelei's chamber. With the assassination attempt (which was later found to have been orchestrated by Cysgod), Laurelei disappeared for six months, going on the run and not knowing who to trust.

Going on the run, Laurelei decided to start her coming of age trails a little early and started exploring the world, the Dragon Empire, and see how it all worked and how people lived. She was poor, and had no support from home. Going by the name Zachriel and continuously changing her appearance.

Eventually, she resurfaced, and first contact with anyone from home was at the Golden Citadel, when it was still the base of the Golden Order. This was when the party was formed and she joined up with them at the beginning. While at the Golden Citadel, she ran into her old martial mentor and friend, Sir Bren Crestfire, who gifted her a magical cloak in hopes it would help protect her, even if he couldn't.

### Red Waste

She ventured into the Red Waste, and explored places such as Harasi, where she met a bronze dragon by the name of Sudroi. They did not get along very well, and Laurie actually ended up fleeing Harasi.

In the Red Waste, Laurie along with her friends also discovered an ancient elven structure, where they managed to reactivate a dormant astral communication network. It was here she finally made contact with Axis, with Alina by her side, speaking to Firedaughter who scolded Laurie for running away.

### Getting Cloned

Returning to Santa Cora after the Red Waste, Laurie headed to Cedarbrook with her new friends. There they found a small town in the Wild Wood, cloaked by a powerful illusion, to hide them from attacks from the druids. Following a party, Laurie and friends were captured an taken prisoner by Theralar Silvercrest and he experimented on them all. It was later revealed, when the party was escaping, that his experiment on Laurie (who had been turned into goo and slowly reformed later), had in fact been cloned.

Escaping, the Laurie clone abandoned the party and ran away.

### Home Coming

After getting back to Cedarbrook, and returning to Santa Cora once again. Laurie decided it was time to return to Axis, and face her father. It was there in a tavern, the night before they were set to return via airship to Axis, she met Dalsa for the first time. They gambled, but neither getting the hand up, over one another. Laurie brought Dalsa along, believing some skills she possessed, would be immensely valuable.

Upon returning to Axis, as soon as they landed, Palace Guards were looking for Laurie and she panicked and bolted, sending her friends in different directions, organising a meet up later on at a tavern. After meeting up at the tavern, Laurie sometime later, returned to the Palace to see her father. She had a meeting with him, and was scolded for running away and for the mess she left behind. Her father demanded to meet with her friends, and they had a meeting, the meeting went poorly but Laurie didn't know that for some time.

Laurie and her friends were tested in the arena to see if they were indeed "worthy", three rounds went forth, eventually making it to the last round when they faced off against a bronze golem, piloted by Engilbert Noakes. Defeating the golem, the party went out for drinks to celebrate with the halfling pilot.

### Glitterhaegen

Heading to Glitterhaegen, after hearing news of necromancy on the rise, Laurie and friends head to Glitterhaegen, to see if they can find the necromancers and put a stop to them. Some complications later but the party attracted the attention of the crime gangs, wizard gangs, the party robbed a bank, and a party member appeared to die.

### Return to the Red Waste

With news reaching the party that Tarian, the guardian of the mouth of the abyss health was failing. They decided to head out to the Golden Citadel to set off to try and see if they could help Tarian. ***It was a battle, to reach the mouth of the abyss, in a race against time and other parties seeking to abuse the situation for their own ends.***

### Coming of Age

When she founded the Drakevakt on her 18th birthday, Tarian sent a vision to the members of the Golden Order and all of his followers, for any who didn't wish to serve Lord Frommler, or wander without an organisation to support, they could join Laurelei and the Drakevakt. With that, Laurelei's complicated history with the Crusader began.

## Duties

On behalf of the Dragon Empire, Laurelei's duties involve furthering the position of the Dragon Empire, representing it diplomatically, and safeguarding it against enemies. She is also involved in the military, and overseeing plans to defend against the devils, with whom the Dragon Empire is currently at war.

## Powers & Abilities

Laurie has shown herself to be a capable spy master, able to assess a situation and plan her moves accordingly. At court she has proven herself to be a strong political operator, able to outwit Lord Frommler at court when he opposed the formation of the Drakevakt.

In combat, she uses hit and run tactics to manoeuvre opponents where she wants them to go, and slipping away before hitting them again, to keep them off balance.

Laurie is also shown remarkable coordination, able to balance well, sneak around and avoid detection and getting caught.

As a member of the royal family of the Dragon Empire, she is able to call upon the power of the Imperial Throne to channel magic, and as the heir she is able to call upon a bit more power in times of need. However she has only dabbled in the power of magic granted by the Imperial Throne, rather than focus on it exclusively.

Among Laurie's defensive abilities, is her ability to avoid information being gathered about her magically and to avoid being tracked via spells such as scrying.

Perhaps one of Laurie's most impressive talents is being able to be in multiple places at once. She has proven to be able to be in two, three or maybe more places at once.
