Lady **Jeanne-Dominique Vincenti** is a Stormwindian Noblewoman who rules over the Barony of Levalet. She is from the Baloric region of Alcestenne and serves as a vassal to House Laurent, having replaced the treacherous House Barbet as the feudal ruler of Levalet.

Having initially come from a mercantile background, Jeanne-Dominique now serves as the Spymaster of Alcestenne, earning a seat on the Ducal Privy Council and being entrusted with the many secrets of Balor.

## Personality & Beliefs

Outwardly, Jeanne-Dominique is well put together, an air of confidence, or perhaps arrogance, surrounding her. In spite of this clear self-assurance, she was talkative enough to perform well in the courts of nobility.

Of course, her views were controversial, with the belief that humanity, aristocracy and those faithful in the Light are supreme over all others. Though coming from less-than-noble birth, Jeanne-Dominique has long assured herself that the rich and powerful earn their place for a reason, and that they have found their rightful place *above* the common masses.

And it could hardly be in question that it was the Holy Light that ordained this place, high and mighty above all faiths, it selected those who would be high above all others.

Having come to the upper echelons of society from far below, Jeanne-Dominique is a motivated new addition to the courts of peerage in Stormwind, motivated by herself, motivated by her faith, and motivated by the endless chase for further status and wealth.

## Description

Standing at near five and a half feet, with ochre eyes and sable hair, her skin a dark olive tone, like most other Baloric people, Jeanne-Dominique is possessed of a sharp, angular visage, with a strong chin and aquiline nose, held in an expression that communicates as much confidence as intensity, furrowed brows and piercing glares, regarding the world and all those in it with the disdain typical of those from a rich upbringing.

The right side of her face is scorched, and her right eye is gone, the socket hidden behind a leather eyepatch, speaking to a past bout of conflict, with a lean and athletic physique to match, the build of a swimmer, Jeanne-Dominique doesn't look quite like the typical soldier, but she doesn't look quite like the average noblewoman either.

Her demeanor, regardless, would have one believe that she had spent her entire life as part of the aristocracy.

## Biography

Born the same year that the Alliance of Lordaeron was disbanded, Jeanne-Dominique was raised in the waxing new era of the Kingdom of Stormwind that followed the First and Second Wars. In these years, the Vincenti bloodline had already been established as one of the most affluent mercantile families on the northern shores of Balor, and they had connections far and wide, from Stormwind to Stromgarde.

Jeanne-Dominique was taught the enterprising ways of her family from a young age, privileged enough to possess great wealth but not enough to hold tracts of lands through feudal entitlement, the next step up from their position. She took well to the family legacy, and sought glories that were as of yet beyond their reach, for Jeanne-Dominique had one true interest even from youth; the acquisition of power and prestige.

Learning the ways of trade, and as a result, merchant espionage, Jeanne-Dominique and her family found further opportunity in the North Balor Harbor Company, which they held close ties to, and thusly close ties to the reigning House Laurent of Alcestenne.

When the year 633 K.Y. drew to a close, and Jeanne-Dominique was twenty-five, whisperings of unrest came from the fringes of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and slowly lines were drawn in the sand that would serve as battle-lines in the opening hours of the Stormwind Civil War. Balor was hardly spared from this unrest, as 634 K.Y. began with massacre, overthrow and coup d'état, and the Baron of Levalet, Verill Barbet, was swayed by the promises of the Lyonesse usurper.

If he would transfer control of Balor's northern shore to the rebels, he would become the new Duke of Alcestenne. At first, the Vincenti family, native to Levalet, went along with the plan of the Barbet family as they seized control of the city of Levalet. However, they had been in league with the loyalists of Balor all along, and during the night, snuck forces loyal to House Laurent into the port of Levalet in conjunction with a siege, killing Verill Barbet in the Battle of Levalet, at the cost of Jeanne-Dominique's father and namesake, Dominique Vincenti.

In the course of the vicious battle in Levalet, Jeanne-Dominique was scorched by an exploding shell from rebel artillery, shrapnel slicing her right eye beyond use, and the entire right side of her face was charred to blackness, leaving a swathe of scar tissue behind.

In the wake of their vital intervention in the treachery of Verill, the Vincenti family was ennobled to take over Levalet, and to have House Barbet, among others, as their vassals in the region.

This places Jeanne-Dominique at the head of the House, as the Baroness Levalet, a position to which she takes well, and for the roguish methods of the Vincenti family, she has been rewarded with the position of Spymaster of Alcestenne.
