Verity is a mildly attractive woman, more interesting than pretty, but very sexy. An objective observer might notice the hardness around her eyes or the inner stillness that hint at her calculating iciness, but most victims trapped by her charms never see it coming. She is currently very pregnant, with a large round belly she displays proudly.
|
|
|
Some people are just flawed on the inside.
Driven even as a young girl by an inner unquenchable thirst for power and influence, Verity quickly became a queen bee and ruled the social scene of her grade level from elementary school to senior graduation. Accepted to Harvard, she moved to Boston and continued in the same vein. She came to the attention of a professor at the school, who also secretly happened to be Master Wizard Jeremiah Stone of the Bostonian Rite of the Hermetic Order of Wyrms. Master Stone could sense the extreme force of will and proclivity for magic in Verity, and her physical charms blinded him to her propensity for extreme selfishness.
In a replay of a story as old as Merlin and Nimue, Verity became Jeremiah's apprentice and lover, and hungrily learned what she could from him. At first pleased by the powers she was developing, Verity's inner thrist for power eventually reawoke when she began to hit a wall in her Hermetic studies and her progress slowed. Secretly she turned to more dangerous avenues of power she found refereneced in some of Jeremiah's books. Conducting her own research on the side, visiting occult bookstores and asking a few questions got her noticed by the Cult of the Red Hand. Soon Albert Armos arrived in Boston and became involved. He easily seduced Verity with promises of power and began instructing her in Invocation and how to win the favor of the Infernal powers he invokes. He tutored her in various rituals and urged her to take the first necessary steps down that particular left handed path.
Soon Jeremiah Stone was found murdered in his sanctum, slain gruesomely in what appeared to be a diabolic ritual. The police were stymied by a lack of conventional evidence, but eventual mystical scrying by Jeremiah's Order brethren revealed a horrific scene wherein Verity ambushed Jeremiah in his sleep and with careful precision drew a pentagram, staked Jeremiah out upon it, and waited until he awoke to begin a grisly ritual of human sacrifice to invoke Infernal powers.
Verity, of course, had made herself scarce by then, and the Order hunted for her to no avail. Verity was Sanctioned by Section M at the Order's urging with a modest Bounty of $25,000. Verity's involvement with the Cult of the Red Hand and Albert Armos remains unknown, and Verity is basically under the radar as she hasn't been implicated in anything significant aside from her slaying of her former Master. She is sometimes listed as being possibly involved in various things based upon physical description alone, but nothing substantiated.
Verity flourished under Albert's tutelage and was passed on to his master, Tudor Brezak, as an interesting potentiality. Finding her suitable, Tudor sold Verity on the idea of serving as the vessel for the birth of a Daemonchilde, a Cambion. Detailed promises of the increased favor and power she would gain for doing this were all it really took, and soon Verity was impregnated. Verity finds pregnancy to be inconvenient but oddly rewarding, and she eargly awaits the day she reaps the rewards of giving birth to an Infernal childe.

"You wouldn't hit a pregnant woman, would you?"

Verity is a Witch, combining Hermetic magic with the Invocation of Infernal powers. She prefers subtle effects rather than overtly obvious and harmful magic, and can be quite dangerous to more physical opponents due to her unconventional nature. She has a powerful Hermetic focus in the form of a Dagger which is very deadly, and can ensorcel victims with a sort of mental paralysis, and the two abilities used together is extremely deadly. She is also blessed with mystical protection from physical damage by the entities she is in league with, making her practically invulnerable to conventional harm such as knives, small arms, and blunt trauma. She can prepare a variety of Hermetic spells, but favors a mystical Seduction spell that complements her native skills in that area, paired with whatever else seems useful.
