## Bio

Nyira's mother died shortly after she was born. Her younger half-brother, Malachi, was born when she was around five years old, though she only vaguely remembers his mother being around. They were raised by their father, who dabbled in tinkering and may have been employed on merchant ships. Nyira was about 13 years old when her brother was lost on a trip he took with their father. Nyira wanted to help search for Malachi, though her father would not let her help. Eventually their father gave up looking, though Nyira believes he did so prematurely. She never wanted to believe Malachi was dead.

After her father's death when she was about 21, Nyira left her home and ended up joining the Archaeological Artificers Association. Nyira, along with her teammates Amelia and Ben, completed the new recruits' challenge in record time. Their time of 24 seconds was not beaten until Fin, Regin, and Malachi completed it in 18 seconds. Nyira continued working with Amelia and Ben during her career with the AAA. However, she became dissatisfied with the organization after a mission to one of Dr. Retval's labs went wrong, resulting in the amputation of her arm. Because of this event, Nyira left the AAA after three years. Some time after leaving AAA, Nyira became involved in piracy and purchased the ship *The Lost Crystal*. Using her skills in artificing, Nyira added several upgrades to the ship including more powerful ballistae and a metal hull.

## Description

Nyira is a woman with darker skin and dark curly hair. As captain of the *Lost Crystal*, she wears a pirate captain's hat and green jacket. One arm is amputated and has a metal prosthetic, which she has made herself. When they were children, Nyira was bigger than Malachi, but as adults, she is now smaller.

## Role In The Story

While on a job for the wizard Solaris, Nyira was supposed to apprehend a group of adventurers that had a magic cube in their possession. When this group was brought aboard *The Lost Crystal*, Nyira realized one of them was her long-lost brother, Malachi. Nyira worked with Malachi and the other members of his party, Regin and Fin, to trick Solaris so Nyira could get her payment before allowing the adventurers to bring the cube to AAA. Before parting ways with her brother, Nyira modified a cloth communicator from AAA so they could keep in touch.

In the weeks after the party left, Nyira made a deal with Dr. Retval to capture Fin and Regin, though Malachi would be allowed to go free. Dr. Retval had the backing of the Lithyos military, who could arrest and hang her for piracy, and offered a sizeable reward, which made it difficult for Nyira to turn him down. Nyira and her crew intercepted Fin, Regin, and Malachi as they departed Ferrien on the *Matte Black*. However, when they boarded *The Lost Crystal*, Dr. Retval changed the deal and captured Malachi as well. Nyira protested this and ordered her crew to attack, but they mutinied against her as the payment from Dr. Retval was too good to turn down. Nyira was brought to Dr. Retval's lab along with Malachi and Regin.

## Trivia

* Nyira had a music box as a child that she sold in Benswith, but it was later purchased by Malachi.
