Kay

**Alignment** | Lawful Good

**Kay** formerly also known by *Beatrice*, is known as a Holy Spirit that has assisted mortals in many affairs, especially in regards to The Light.

Kay was formerly two spirits, Kay and Beatrice, with the former Kay being a spirit of darkness and void, and Beatrice being a spirit of light. At some stage the two spirits merged into one being.

Kay has been shown to be compassionate and sympethetic to the plights of mortals, willing to risk her own existance and power if neccisary for their wellbeing.

The Angels by their nature are very secretive and not much is known about Kay.

## Biography

### Origin

It is possible Kay would have origionated in a similar way to the Loa, Demons, Titans, Elements and Naaru. That being an entity created from a pure type of magic, that being the spirit magics of the Shadowlands themselves.

### The Light

The oldest known reference of Kay originates in the book 'The Wise King'. The Book includes a passage detailing an Advisor of Light that in ancient humanity, was called upon to cure illness and plague.

The Bishops of Tyr have also described Beatrice (Kay) as an entity that they became familiar with, and perhaps helped shape the early foundations of the Church of the Holy Light.

### Tirisfal

Beatrice emerged to the members of the Argent Dawn during the events of the *Tirisfal Campaign* against Thule Ravenclaw. Beatrice was purely there out of interest for Virgil's activities and only offered very limited advise and support to the mortals at the time. During the campaign, Thule Ravenclaw managed to make an alliance with Kay, at the time a dark and sinister version of Beatrice. During the final events of Thule's downfall, Kay is defeated by Beatrice and Virgil. Sometime after this, Kay and Beatrice merged into one being, a Holy united and empowered Kay returning to the Shadowlands.

### Assistance to the Argent Dawn

Following the events of the campaign against Thule Ravenclaw, Kay became convinced that Virgil's plans were capable of causing great suffering and destruction and took it upon herself to try and minimise this as much as possible. Kay infiltrated Light's Hope disguised as the priestess Aelina and used her immense powers in the Light to heal the wounded and to nurture and guide those that required it.

### The Amulet

At some point, the holy paladin Michael Whitehall was struck with the weapon Archstrike which wounded his very soul. The Light was unable to heal this wound and so, Aelina (Kay) agreed to help. Aelina managed to draw upon the Archstrike itself to heal Whitehall, but this drew the attention of Virgil.

In a physical form, Kay was significantly weaker then her natural spiritual form, and was overpowered easily by Virgil who placed her spirit inside an Amulet. This Amulet would cause the wearer to become intoxicated with the Light, as the power was too strong for mortals to possess, eventually causing them to go mad. Maxwell Tyrosus suffered from the Amulets effects until he was arrested by Michael Whitehall who took temporary command of the Argent Dawn.

The Amulet was passed onto the Church of the Holy Light in Stormwind, who then, through some corrupt dealings, gave the Amulet to Lord Cato, Lord Cato planned to place the Amulet in a Scepter in order to use the Scepter to will-bend the living, essentially allowing him total political control over his enemies. This plan was thwarted by the Argent Dawn, Squad 6, working with 'George'.

'George' was one of the Guardians of Ancient Kings, spiritual Knights who served Kay in the Shadowlands. George took a physical form in order to reclaim Kay's spirit and free it from the Amulet.

Araxamas and Sholanar managed to take the Amulet to Virgil's shrine where the Archstrike was used to shatter it, freeing Kay, who promptly struck down Virgil's spirit. Kay thanked the men for freeing her, and assured them that Virgil was gone for the time being.

### Further Help

Kay would later assist the Argent Dawn at the 4th Battle of Light's Hope, appearing to Sholanar in a vision and allowing Savinia to be ressurected from the dead.

Kay would also appear as Aelina to the Argent Dawn once again on a few occasions, as well as assisting Dasmond with the wound on his soul incurred by the Lich King.

During the second Tirisfal campaign against the Old God Ryun'eh, Kay would prove to be a valueable ally to Squad 6, granting them a flower from her Garden of Light that was capable of ressurecting any soul. She would also grant them advice through her adoptive daughter, Ali, who appears to the Squad frequently to warn them of the dangers ahead.

During the climax of the second campaign, Kay opened a rift to the Shadowlands and allowed Dawn Terimidias access to a Holy Spear capable of destroying Ryun'eh. She then used her powers to safely transport Squad 6 among others to the lake's surface.
