Keyne the Quiet is a Reachwoman and former spy of the Forsworn.  In 4E 201, she was recruited into the Dark Brotherhood.  The Night Mother spoke to her, proclaiming her the Listener.  She is now a part of a plot to kill the Emperor of Cyrodiil, Titus Mede II.

## Previously...

A child born in Markarth during the peace of the Forsworn Occupation, she barely has memories of the turmoil that followed.  She is aware of her mother sacrificing her life to get them out of the city, but this was what her father told her.

Life was difficult, out in the wilderness, but they weren’t unused to living off of the land.  They settled in a Redoubt.  Keyne’s job would be to spy and to deliver messages.  It was for this reason that she learned to read and speak Tamrielic, and though her language is limited, she is quite fluent.  For years she ventured, watching the people of Markarth, Karthwasten, and even places outside.  It was there that she heard of the Aretino boy.  She made little of it and returned home…to find her people slaughtered.  Mercenaries being paid by Jarl Igmund had cleared out the Redoubt.

Keyne wanted vengeance, but instead, she fled.  She pursued this boy instead, eager to lose herself in…something.  Lest rage and battle-lust consume her.  Hearing how terribly children were being treated by this Grelod the Kind woman, Keyne was quick to go to Honorhall and strangle her.  Later on she received a letter from the Dark Brotherhood saying they knew, and after sleeping in the inn she awoke in a shack.  Payment was demanded.  Three, rather than one, fell, and Astrid was impressed.

Keyne followed up in the Falkreath sanctuary.  There, she met her new family.  The contracts were enjoyable, and she learned much from her adventures.  She was quite loyal to Astrid, and so when the Night Mother declared her the Listener, she had mixed feelings.  Astrid eventually gave and told her to go and see this Amaund Motierre in Volunruud.

## Description

* Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Keyne has a lot of hatred towards people and remains cynical of them unless proven otherwise. She doesn't fear killing or death.  Life is not permanent, and you take what you must. Her people deserve whatever they can take, for they have suffered much.  Even the lives of others, so that they might survive.  The nords made them like this; they were the Reachmen before they were the Forsworn.

She can appear distant, cold, and quiet. This is her way of hiding the anger within her.  She'd like no more than to tear your throat out, unless you prove to her that you're a loyal and trustworthy individual.  She'll follow someone she trusts to Coldharbour and back, if you get my drift.

While she doesn't cling, she does feel love.  She loves her people, whether they be the Dark Brotherhood or the Forsworn.  Or, in her case, both.

She is bisexual, and has an interest in the orcs.
