Sybylle Cartess's History:
You can never know how a child might turn out. Sybylle was born in the Old Kingdom near the border of the Western Empire. Both of her parents were priests of a healing order but from the beginning she was not like them. As a child, she did not like living in the poverty of the church and wanted to live the way the wealthy in the Western Empire do. As well, she had no patience or discipline and as a result could not proceed far in the religion. She also was extremely sexually active starting at fourteen and had sex with everything she could. As she grew older, she became more jaded and began openly hating her parents although she got more patient and started coming up with involved plots to get what she wanted.

All of these plots would likely have not gone anywhere and she would have run away to become a courtesan and make her way on her back if she had not discovered about witches. She became obsessed with witches and instead of running away, she made a pact with the Demon Lord Mephisto and offered herself as one of his concubines. To prove her loyalty to her master, she sacrificed her own parents without his orders. This impressed him quite a bit and as a result he gave her a more respected position that she otherwise would have gotten.

Over the next several years, she traveled and did her masters bidding with exuberance. She murdered people her master considered foes and established several new underground temples to him. She learned to greatly enjoy giving torture. She would often seduce a man or women and kill them after she had her pleasure. Many of her victims were wealthy and she quickly became rich from plunder. About every couple of months, she would be summoned to Hades to serve for several weeks as one of his concubines.

One of her few failures was the attempt to kill an important family in the Timero Kingdom. While she managed to kill most of the family, she missed the youngest daughter and the girl tracked he for several years. It was not until she faked her own death that she was able to lose her pursuit.

It was after this that she decided she needed full time allies and recruited allies. She rescued a knight that was about to be put to death for murdering his family to game rulership of the lands. Like might be expected, she keeps a careful eye on him and will kill him if he decided to attempt to take over her position. Slightly later, a Dark Priestess joined the group and they have worked together ever since. Several counties, including the Western Empire, have bounties for their capture but there are no good descriptions available due to them killing most witnesses and it is unlikely that they will be easily caught.
