Biography

Born in the great elven city of Myth Drannor, Liriel is the offspring of her sun elf father and moon elf mother. As a result, she shares some of her mother's wanderlust and her rather pale complexion while inheriting her father's golden
hair and eyes. Quickly bored with life in the elven city, Liriel is fascinated by the shorter-lived races, humanity in particular. So in the elven equivalent of her teens, she escapes her home with basically only what she can carry. Making her way to the city of Baldur's Gate, she puts her talents to work and discovers that the savage thrill of criminal life suits her. Dextrous and smart, she quickly learns the tricks of the trade and becomes a respected burglar and throat cutter. Removal of valuables, evidence or even life, in short order, “Liri” is the elf to hire.

One day, Liriel is working on a seeming cakewalk assassination and heist with her partner Ken who is at that point also her lover. On the verge of successfully escaping, Liriel is distracted by her boyfriend and fails to notice an in hindsight
comically obvious tripwire. Stumbling over it, Ken is instantly killed by the spike trap that was tensioned off the tripwire. It also cuts Liriel off from her escape route and with the guards alarmed by the released trap, she has no chance but to
surrender herself. Surprisingly, she is neither killed nor prosecuted for her misdeeds that day but instead made to work undercover for the Lords' Alliance. Some dupe is accused of the crimes instead and sent to prison.

While keeping up her front as a criminal for hire, Liriel now mostly works as an agent for the Lords' Alliance, infiltrating rival organisations and the like. She has become for all intents and purposes a spy.
