Linda Trastàmara in season 2 Dirtharaan dlc

## Background

Linda Trastàmara was born in 9:24 Dragon to Queen Ximena Trastàmara and one of her royal lovers. He was raised to be a prince, he learned to play the lute and when he was 9 his mother gave him an enchanted, self playing one. He was always close to his mother until one day when their relationship suddenly changed.

When Linda was 10 his mother changed completely. Gone was that pleasant smile and jovial attitude. She started beating him and became quick to anger. To the rest of the people she was becoming a tyrant.

Linda was scared and confused, he would go out on his balcony and pray that his mother would return to how she had been. It was during one of these occations when he overheard his mother talking with a stranger about an "Organization" he resolved to find the one responsible for his mother's strange behaviour and kill them.

He left Dairsmuid and spent the better part of a year attempting to join the Organization to find and kill the leader. He was eventually permitted to join under Ms. Red in one of the Organizations outposts in Tevinter.

## Involvement

Linda get's stationed in Tevinter under Ms.Red and is ordered to poison kids and bring them to her. He disregards the "Children" part and poisons a random elf in a tavern instead. That elf happens to be Arasghilana and she takes Linda captive after she discovers what he's done. (He lies and says his age is 15 to get taken seriously). Emily steals his lute without him noticing. He takes the party to Ms.Red and she scolds him for not following her orders. She surrenders to the party after they outnumber her.

He later apologizes to Arasghilana and reveals his real identity and objective. He allows Emily to keep his lute and then leaves to journey back to Rivain.

A couple of days later, as the party are escaping after stopping the execution, Linda takes them in and hides them in his safehouse. In the morning he reveals what he knows about "The Organization" and what the organization knows about them. He tells them that he's been living unercover for the last 6 years and that he plans to take down the organization and save Rivain. The party agrees to help him in order to get their money back that the organization likely stole.

The party and Linda spend a week in Llomerryn together and help eachother with different tasks. Linda buys the party a boat with the last of his money as thanks and Emily names it "The Second Relation". As the party search a mysterious library they get a message from Linda, through their magic rings, telling them to hide. Linda enters along with the rest of the upper echelon of the Organization (with the exception of Mr White) and leaves with them for Dairsmuid as Mr Purple (or Melon) lights the library on fire.
