Porphyria is one of the most effective operatives of the Erisian Liberation Front in recent memory, as well as one of the most powerfully-gifted psychics of her generation. Her exploits are as much rumor as legend, since she typically remains unseen as she sows chaos through her clandestine operations and guerrilla warfare. Her formidable psychic and magical talents extend her influence and perceptions far beyond her physical presence, and many secrets whispered in dark places have come back to be used against their owners by Porphyria or her agents.
Once a committed member of the adventurer's guild, Porphyria's outlook was changed radically after she came in contact with an ancient artifact that housed a malevolent intelligence. This strange artifact massively increased Porphyria's psychic potential while twisting her towards the path of chaos at the same time. Some say that the strange artifact's sibilant whispers drove Porphyria far past the brink of madness, while others claim that the artifact showed Porphyria the beginnings and ends of the cosmos. Shortly thereafter, Porphyria joined the Erisian Liberation Front in her continual quest for increased power.
Complementing her work with the ELF, Porphyria has also joined the Wandslingers, and currently keeps watch over the drow city of Yathryn, responding to trouble in that dark settlement with deadly force. Porphyria also maintains ties with the Spearmaidens.
Recent activities
Although Porphyria does not share her goals with the rest of the world, there are faint musings that she is exploiting her wandslinger activities to ingratiate herself with the elites of Yathryn and play the two religious factions in the city against each other, although the benefit to be gained from this is unknown. There is also some speculation that she is behind some of the recent appearances of lloigor within Losthaven, as her ties to the lloigor through the Erisian Liberation Front would no doubt allow her to bring such entities into the city, albeit with little or no control over them once they arrived. Again, the ultimate motives behind these attacks remain pure speculation.
Adventuring company
Porphyria is the leader of a group known as the Erisian Mercantile Company, whose primary purpose is to provide a place for Porphyria and her associates to store some of their ill-gotten wealth without having to pay the usurious fees of the mainstream banking system.
