Ten-Penny is a down-on-her luck burglar from Demgazi. After a heist went bad, she fled into the Border Wood. There, she encountered Rohkar Cindren, who gave her shelter and eventually convinced her to stay on as part of . Ten-Penny was not particularly fond of Rohkar or his Raiders, but as she had nowhere else to go, she reluctantly agreed. She became the Raiders' cook, and mostly stayed out of their other business, particularly the kidnapping of Lady Argentea Malassene.
 
When adventurers seeking to rescue Lady Agentea came to the Raiders' headquarters and began easily dispatching them, Ten-Penny saw an opportunity and promply switched sides. When the adventurers successfully subdued Rohkar, Ten-Penny saw another opportunity, and slit the necromancer's throat.
