Karla

**Karla** is a mysterious entity that has appeared throughout the history of Lodoss, manipulating events from behind the scenes to fulfil her agenda. Karla was once a sorceress form the Enchantment School of Magic, in the Ancient Kingdom of Kastuul. The ancient kingdom came to over rely on magic which led to its downfall. As the savage barbarian tribes conquered the kingdom, Karla was killed. However, she did not die. She had imbued a circlet with the essence of her soul. Those that killed her would be compelled to place the circlet on their head, which would allow Karla to posses their body, effectively granting her a type of immortality. Karla vowed to never let the tragedy that occurred in the ancient kingdom to repeat itself. To achieve this, she made it her mission to prevent any power to be concentrated in one place by balancing the power between all the nations of Lodoss.

For over five hundred years, Karla has manipulated the history of Lodoss from the shadows, earning her the title "The Grey Witch". Karla was one of the "Six Heroes" hailed for defeating the Demon King. At that time Karla possessed the body of a mysterious Mage Knight, whose gender couldn’t even be guessed. She revealed nothing about herself, other than that she was "A person who worries about Lodoss" and could wield powerful Ancient Magic. Before she help descend the Deepest Labyrinth, Karla prevented Nasier from becoming the Unification King of Lodoss. This act led directly to Nasier’s death, therefore, Karla become one of the "Hundred Heroes" herself and challenged the Demon King.

During the War of Heroes, Karla who had possessed another of the Six Heroes, Arch Priestess of Marfa, Neese’s daughter Leylia’s body, also kidnapped Princess Fianna, King Fahn of Valis’ daughter. She manipulated the confrontation between the White King Fahn and the Dark Emperor Beld by assisting the Marmo in their invasion of Kanon and ordered the assignation of the King of Alania. In the Kingdom of Flaim, Karla manipulated the Fire Tribe to revolt and in the Moss region, she instigated the rebellion of "Dragon Scale" Venon. As a result, the Kingdom of Alania, the Confederations of Moss, and a large portion of the army of Flaim had to withdraw from the battle. With the war concluding with both Fahn and Beld’s deaths, Karla ensured that all countries had exhausted their forces, resulting in maintaining the balance of power, as Karla had planned. Karla was confronted in her mansion on Lake Runoana by the knight Parn and his companions. In a fierce battle, Leylia was released from Karla’s possession. However, the thief Woodchuck stole Karla’s circlet and placing it on his head, disappeared somewhere unknown.
