## History

### Killerjoy

Commandris was the Lord Adjunct to Lord Austra for quite some time. She gained a fierce reputation beneath him. But her time was coming to a close as she was to leave for the Parcel Exams soon and a new Lord Adjunct would need to be chosen. Thena was at the meeting where Austra announced to all the lords - Demaro Jun, Lovis, Blite, and Black Ox - that the next Lord Adjunct would be the lord who contributed the most to the investigation into the masques.

Thena went to Jun later on in his room to collect him for backup during an interrogation with the Joalishwoman Gema. Before they went to Center Stage, Thena revealed to Jun that the role of Lord Adjunct was his regardless of the little contest that Austra gave the lords. He was the best that Austra had, really.

During the investigation, Thena showed her ruthlessness in her callous speech towards Gema and how she broke her hand with little to no effort. Gema revealed to them that the revivalists were using the stolen proxie cell at the Crossway where the gargoyle attacked.

Arriving at the Crossway, Commandris and Jun found Silver One fighting to protect the civilians in the silo from the revivalists, and he was essentially near death. Jun and Commandris took out the remaining revivalists with little effort. They then had to deal with the device. The device was beyond unstable and dangerous, the only solution Commandris thought of was to fly it up into the air and blow it up using her parce strength so that it wouldn't hurt anyone or anything in the surrounding area.

She fell back to the earth only missing her arm and instructed Jun to kill Silver One. Before he got the chance, Silver One fell off the Crossway and disappeared.

Shortly thereafter, Commandris left for the Parcel Exams.

## Abilities

### Parce Mettle

Thena is able to use parce, a mettle that grants the user immense strength. However, it also often costs them their intelligence. Thena has parce, but based on her seemingly above average intelligence, she didn't use it too often.

### Tao Mettle

Tao is associated with balance. This allows many lords the ability of flight. Thena included, making her one of the only lords in Carver who can fly without a flit.
