## Biography

### **Background**

Kovu is the eldest of three children from Wen Anore. Her father died fighting Sotterans during an eladrin attack on Sotteran territory. Her mother's whereabouts are unknown. She spent time at the academy studying the art of dungeoneering and picked up some arcane knowledge through her younger brother. She and her youngest brother Cyrus heard that their brother Vijat was captured and Kovu went with the intent of freeing her brother.

### **Chapter 1**

Kovu appears at the banquet table of Felisia Keep alongside her brother Cyrus and a mercenary they hired named Hiszzu. The three met Viggo and stayed in the Felisia Guest Quarters. Kovu would be integral to solving the Keep's statue puzzle and would continue to fight the guardian griffons while she was picked up by their talons.

Kovu let her guard down and begged Viggo to buy her a trained moss panther from the Malisons who was named Buddy who was killed one day later by an enchanted Davec. Kovu would manage to bargain for the moss wolf instead on their way to the Rothra burial grounds.

After arriving back in Ru-Voga Kovu learns that Cyrus took Viggo to talk with an imprisoned Vijat instead of bringing her. Kovu begins distancing herself from the group and talking to Vijat on her own who reveals various secrets about their family to her, such as Cyrus having a Sotteran father (leading to Vijats resentment of his younger brother.) Ultimately Kovu agrees, and is successful, in breaking Vijat out of jail on the terms that he helps her find their mother. Kovu has a brief encounter with Mudds in the sewers in which the two agree will end in a stale-mate and sets fire in the temple district before fleeing town with Vijat.

Kovu is not seen in Chapter 2 but is responsible for Havisa meeting the Path of the Black Rainbow, as Kovu hired her to deliver a message to Cyrus.

## Relationships

She still cares for him as shown through the message she sent with Havisa though Kovu's sarcastic nature makes that up for debate.

### Vijat
