Claret Ashkiller is the assassin of the Blazing Guard, the evil army of Duke Firebrand Fyreclaw. It's here in her bio that we learn, that she was the one he hired to kill the former king and queen in his failed coup attempt, as she has the ability to kill any living being, including those who are functionally "immortal," like those of their kind. I also get more into the theme of the "Blazing Guard" all being made up of "tragic villains, in that each of them, including the Duke himself, are all corrupted and/or controlled by the imbalance in their hearts and the dark flames that have overtaken them. Being that she is an assassin for hire, she likes to keep much of her past a secret. Therefore, her exact place of origin is unknown, and will probably always remain a mystery, as will many other details about her, such as how she became to be such a vicious person to begin with.
