## **Biography**

### Beginning

Marcy grew up in the city of Boulderay. She became dedicated to Dia at a young age and become an acolyte as an adult where she faithfully served in the Temple of Dia. At some point during this time, she married her husband Fred. After the Boulderay mining accident in which her husband died, she changed and stopped serving the temple.

On the day of the accident, Marcy left the Temple of Dia straightaway. Still wearing her rainbow robes, she burst into Mayor Prattle's office to inquire about the fate of Fred. She found Mayor Prattle with three survivors from the accident (Leonard Lank, Ostin Tashe, and Bo Bender), and Mayor Prattle told her that Fred had died. Mayor Prattle tasked Marcy and others to establishing a trade network with the surrounding settlements and gaining access to their powerful artifacts. The collapse in the mine meant a collapse in the town's resources and economy. Mayor Prattle opined that who better to represent the hardship of the city than those who had personally suffered it. Mayor Prattle introduced the group to Luce who would be their guide.

The group was unsuccessful in brokering a direct plan for aid, but it was revealed that Luce had stolen magic artifacts from the places they had visited. Luce proposed that they use these stolen items to bring peace not just to Boulderay but to all of Faeza. Marcy was given a wooden cup capable of great healing. When they formed the Infinights, she took on the name Alleve the Amender.

### Pyous Pass

When Luce took on the identity Paralyte and betrayed the Infinights, Alleve, among others, was kidnapped by Paralyte and her Everguards and was brainwashed to do Paralyte's bidding. Paralyte sent Alleve to the desert town of Pyous Pass influencing her to believe that if she collected enough souls, she could resurrect her deceased husband Fred. Alleve disguised herself as an elderly Pye priestess wearing milky-white robes and an ivory staff going by the name of Mother Abby. A few weeks after arriving in town, she cursed the water bucket at the town's well. Those who drank from it would be infected Crypt Curse, an aliment that began as tingling in the legs which progressed into full-body paralysis and concluded with death. Mother Abby gained renown with the people by providing care to the dying Pyes.

The Infinight Interns were tasked with retrieving a package for Dr. Ahem in Pyous Pass and investigating the plague concerned it might be linked to Paralyte. While visiting the Give and Take store, the party witnessed Sheriff Guv apprehend Mother Abby for the alleged murder of her daughter, Patt Urns. The party attempted to intervene, but the Sheriff disappeared with the use of a smoke grenade.

It's implied that Sheriff Guv forced Mother Abby to walk through the desert, and Sheriff Guv was found offering Mother Abby water drawn using the cursed water bucket. The adventuring party distracted Sheriff Guv long enough for Mother Abby to escape the stables and flee to the chapel.

Once she reached the chapel, Elleve was able to have a moment of lucidity. She kneeled atop the ivory alter, and clutching her ivory staff and goblet, she said "I never wanted this! She made me do it! I just wanted to see Fred again; hold him in my arms once more..." She then let out an agonizing shriek. Paralyte's conditioning resuming control of Elleve, her countenance changed to anger and she turned on the party. She raised several zombies to attack the party and collect their souls. In the ensuing battle, the adventuring party nearly defeated Mother Abby, but at the last second a portal opened. Paralyte stepped through the portal and quickly paralyzed Mother Abby. After revealing to a gathering crowd of Pyes that Mother Abby was actually Elleve, Paralyte told the crowd that Elleve had disguised herself as a Pye to infiltrate the town in order to poison it and steal the souls of the dead in order to resurrect her deceased husband, Fred. Paralyte told the crowd of Pyes that she and her Everguards had arrived to save them from Crypt-Curse and from corrupt imposters like the Infinights. Brink Tussler appeared and took Elleve's enchanted goblet.

Afterward, Elleve remained paralyzed and breathing shallowly. She was carried by Gum Gum to the Lil Pecker where she staying in Kyborg's bed for the night. The next day, the party took Elleve back to Boulderay to be examined by Dr. Ahem. Dr. Ahem sent the party to retrieve some healing plants from the Elderpine forest and Elleve inbreather (an L-shaped device about the size of a breadbox / between the size of Gum Gum and Kyborg's hands) from the Temple of Dia. Using the plant ingredients collected by Bart and Mudd with the inbreather retrieved by Gum Gum and Kyborg, Dr. Ahem administered medicine to Elleve to help her breathing. Elleve regained consciousness and told Dr. Ahem that Paralyte was on the move and was heading next to the city of Ürbloom.
