Lithe Woman

The nameless **Lithe Woman** is a prominent field agent of the Silver Hand, tasked with the acquisition of Bingham's bomb alongside her partner, the Well-Built But Ugly Man.

## Biography

### Early Life

So far no details of the Lithe Woman's early life are known, other that she became rather proficient in the magical arts and at some point joined the Silver Hand.

### Chasing Bingham's Bomb

Along with her partner, the Lithe Woman was tasked with personally acquiring the bomb created by Edward Bingham and sought out Le Blaireau in Notus for information. Unbeknownst to them, a team of ICA agents had already acquired the same information from Le Blaireau and managed to break Bingham out of the Iron Citadel before the two could meet with him.

However, the agents failed in their attempt to stop the duo from acquiring the information and thanks to the added aid of Emmett Buck, the two were now a step ahead of them. The duo preempted the agents' discovery of their base in Notus at 883 Bartholomew Court and set a trap in the form of an explosive, along with the message 'Let The Games Begin'.

Realising they had left Bingham unattended, the agents hurried back to the Wandering Eye inn, only to find Bingham where they left him. Anticipating an attack from the Lithe Woman and her partner, the agents travelled to Suuk in search of an entrance to the Underdark, where Bingham claimed the bomb was hidden.

### The Underdark

However, to the agents' surprise, the Lithe Woman and the Well-Built But Ugly Man had already learnt that they were going to the Underdark via the Alvari Mountains and had made their way through the King's Mine entrance and past the cave monster to an abandoned drow city where they lay in wait. As soon as the ICA agents arrived, they attacked, utilising their respective skills to battle all of the agents at once as they attempted to acquire Bingham.

### Death

The Lithe Woman was last encountered by Bluebird's Team within Monarch's ship. After initial contact with a Monarch robot, the Lithe Woman and her accomplice were set upon the team for a final time. Although she manages to use illusions to dodge some attacks, the team eventually overcame her, and her corporeal body was completely vaporised by the Dominion summoned by Freth. All that remained was her belongings, including a locket which implied that she had a child with her erstwhile companion.

## Personality

Little is known of the Lithe Woman's personality, though she seems to be rather intelligent. Her membership with the Silver Hand may suggest nefarious intentions.

She seems to be very focussed and dedicated to her mission, evidenced by the lengths she went to get and stay one step ahead of the ICA and by prioritising going after her target rather than facing the ICA during their battle.

## Abilities

The Lithe Woman appears to be very adept at several magical arts. It is likely she planted the bomb at 883 Bartholomew Court, including the magical message with it, and displayed both a hearing ability beyond that of a normal human (able to sense Lacey Stain spying on her) and the ability to instantly teleport herself and her associate several hundred feet just by touching him. She also seemed to make use of incendiary spells during the conflict.

However, she does not seem to be very physically capable, as suggested by her lithe frame. She additionally utilised evasive rather than combative tactics during the battle with the ICA, choosing to put distance between the factions with her teleporting ability, even when given the chance to attack Stain.

## Equipment

None of the Lithe Woman's equipment is known, though she very likely has some magical artefacts at her disposal.
