Rue Carliss

Rue Carliss (Theta)
Rue Carliss was created solely for Theta universe. She was born in Esharra, to wealthy parents, and was well-educated and received military training as all Esharrans do. Aside frorm that, she was of little note until she became a renowned assassin and sellsword.

The peak of Rue's notoriety was when she kidnapped the queen of Esharra, Relena Astraea Paschal of House Azag. She hired the Vipers, a particularly vicious mercenary group from the Dry Lands, and had them raid the Queen's favorite charity, an orphanage. When the Queen went to observe the recovery efforts and offer her support, Rue and the Vipers attacked again, wiping out the members of Umbra guard assigned to her save for one that Relena ordered to go back and tell Matthens. Rue brought Relena to her home country, Durant, to remain as prisoner to King Markus Rothier. At some point, Relena gave Rue her crown jewel, the Star of Astraea, to keep it out of Markus' hands.

She then went to Obsidia to seek out work, often crossing paths with the knight Zahir. She took on an alias, a trader from Zahlen named Lien Zhuo, using her connections with the black market to seem credible. She attempted to seduce Zahir to get him out of her way, but she fell for him and figured out that he knew who she was, finally forcing him to admit it before they consummated their relationship.

King Matthens of House Azag put out a bounty for Rue Carliss after Relena was returned to Esharra. Mitsuo's unnamed ancestor conspired with Rue to kill a female criminal and present evidence of Rue's 'demise' to Matthens, who would accept it because of his friendship with Mitsuo's ancestor. Rue then continued her work and stayed with Zahir. In Theta, she and Zahir are the ancestors of Carmen and Fiona Reyes, which causes Azathoth and Joanna's daughter to be born with dark skin (a genetic throwback to Zahir).
