**Consort Thelissa**, known in anouther life as Vindicator Thelissa, or a host of other holy titles. Once upon a time, she was a promising vindicator seemingly destined for high and exalted status, the great return of the Burning Legion against Azeroth broke something in her, causing her to fall from the Light. Converted to the  Faith of the Shal'dari, Thelissa had made her ambitions clear and rose through the ranks with brutal ferocity and strong patronage from the would-be Greatmother. Known to her enemies as the High Marshal or 'The Faithful', Thelissa eagerly accepted the Fel touch, further enhancing her combat prowess and her potency such that she may fulfill her great and beloved duties to the Mother of All Things.

## Former Life

Formerly a mighty Paladin of the Draenei Vindicator Orders, Thelissa served with distinction from the time of her becoming aboard the Genedar and each world she landed on. With each world she was forced to flee with her people her faith eroded by inches. Draenor was the last straw for her, and the shattering genocide of her people nearly broke her from her faith. With recuperation and rededication, on Azeroth she nearly regained her might, until the Legion arrived once more, and she lost hope entirely, abandoning her post and wandering in the forests, fighting off demons until she came across the swollen woman struggling through the forest. Seeing somebody to protect and enamored with the prospect that something pure could come from something corrupt.

The warrior was taken by the prospect that life grew within a demon hunter; that belly of The Greatmother which had provided so. Growing more encumbered by the day as she approached her eventual fate, she travelled with the warrior, who offered her her aid, and found them to be a former vindicator who had lost faith, and as they travelled, a spark of interest grew in the warrior, and that interest turned to attraction when Thelissa, endowed properly, lay with The Greatmother, and left her with the seed of the Man'ari within her. They would lie together again and again, and as The Greatmother continued to swell, the Draenei would become obsessed with the notion of new life and purpose. They travelled no more, hidden in fel tainted wilds until the burgeoning goddess grew too heavy, her stomach swollen with new life; the first Man'ari who would serve the cause, but with great difficulty made to eventually return to the temple to birth, and Thelissa returned with her, and was baptized into the Shadow Cult.

## Place in the Cult

Thelissa is the foremost of the Black Judges of the Templar Brethren, an order of disciplinary officers scattered throughout the Shal'dari, serving as a form of secret police. While nominally, all within the Shal'dari are under the control and observation of The Presence, The Greatmother cannot cast her eye everywhere at once and must be alerted to things of need of her attention. As the Shal'dari formed into a more coherent society, Thelissa took it upon herself to ensure ideological purity and zeal among all she could find. With her partner High Magistrate Shall'essa, her bind-sister, Thelissa carries out her duties well.

Above it all, she is consort to the Greatmother, and serves as the primary source of Firstborne Eredar born into the Cult as one of the primary breeding partners of the Mother.
