**Thalia** also known as the empress **Dark Horse** is a character in the former project of the same name and the current project Titan Burning.

## Thaila Dudras

* Dark Horse
* Titan Burning

## Personality

### Dark Horse

Thalia is curious and inventive, but can also be annoying or get under the skin of others and pry into things she shouldn't. Thalia also has issues with people telling her what do to, as she has only lived with Dark Horse, who seems very fond of her.

### Titan Burning

Thalia is the sole empress of Haggard and plans to keep it that way. She is said to have formerly been a very caring and curious person, but after watching the massacring of her people, the Lomah Surri , and taking on the power of the Light she had become rather cold (although she often reminisces the old times when she was more innocent).

Although she begins to worry that Sofie is a true threat, Thalia is still very intent on making the rebellion her game. She is often cruel, although she is very experimentative with her "tests" and violence.

## Appearances

### Dark Horse

Thaila appears in Dark Horse where she summons for Kelsey Mood, Sofia Ewell and Ahri. She curiously watches them as they prepare for the first challenge, but admits to never having anyone else her age around before. She also makes an enemy out of Sofie, although it's unknown if that was purposeful or not.

Thaila appears again at Dark Horse's side when Keefe Carlsey and Ahri return from the challenge as the winners, where she attempts to get his attention. Thalia is told to leave by Dark Horse, her reaction seems to give the idea that she's not often told what to do and she dosen't like the idea of following orders.

### Titan Burning

Thalia spends many of her appearances in Titan Burning contemplating how to defeat Sofie, although there are many times where she is exercising the power the Light had given her (such as the murder of George DeBroch, or when she speaks to Sofie and Will at the tavern). She also has many flashbacks to her old friends Carthel and Doloan.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Esmeralda

Although they have a very workplace-based relationship, both Esmeralda and Thalia are quite fond of each other. As Thalia's figurehead, Esmeralda is constantly reporting business from Haggard's officials and usually figures out what is going on inside Thalia's head.

#### Tholoan Agrippa

Tholoan is by far Thalia's favorite Regent, particularly since they share the same cold nature when it comes to trying out new things. After Kelsey begins the process of returning Alister by Dark Elementalism, Tholoan keeps her up to date on all the effects and happenings.

### Enemies

#### Sofie Ewell

Thalia and Sofie never quite hit it off, and as Sofie becomes more and more of a threat the two begin to hate each other. Thalia kills many of Sofie's friends, tortures her brother, and threatens to end it all, placing great stress on Sofie's shoulders. Nevertheless, no matter what Thalia offers, Sofie refuses to give up.

### Romantic Interests

#### Carthel of Ophalia

Hundreds of years before Thalia became Dark Horse she was simply one of the many Lomah Surri forced into hiding in the Outlands. When their friend Doloan is chosen as the bearer of the Light they both lean on each other for comfort as they escort him to the Light's resting place, knowing that they will lose him forever. Even after Thalia steals the Light before Doloan can take it to end the Period of Chaos Carthel remains a loyal friend, setting aside his doubts.

The two grow closer and later admit to romantic feelings after Thalia begins to take Haggard for herself. While it is shown in Titan Burning that she still cares for him deeply hundreds of years later, it is known that Carthel died in an attempt to stop her from becoming fully corrupted.
