Xansippe
Scion Lady Xansippe Tevineg
Canny and confident, Lady Xansippe, “Beloved of Asmodeus,” has remained a solid advocate for Chelaxian interests in Absalom for more than four decades as the leading high priestess of Asmodeus in the city. Her long-absent husband, Lord Gulv, only recently returned to Absalom after a quarter-century living abroad, on a series of high-profile diplomatic missions on behalf of House Thrune. Lord Gulv currently serves as Cheliax’s Grand Ambassador to Absalom, and while he wields considerable political influence and the favor of the empire’s young queen, Lady Xansippe’s long association with Absalom’s levers of power means she has the greater influence in the city. The marriage resulted in several children, with Lady Seichya, Warden of the Brine prison, being Xansippe’s favorite and most trusted confidante. Xansippe appreciates what Gulv’s return to Absalom has done to bulwark her already significant political power, but whatever romantic spark might once have existed between the two is long gone now. They maintain their marriage out of convenience and because it gives each greater political clout, but it’s an open secret that both keep a bevy of additional lovers on the side. The most prominent of Lady Xansippe’s paramours is Lady Darchana, whom she courts both out of genuine romantic interest and because she knows the noblewoman might soon rule all of Absalom as rightful primarch. For years now the two have engaged in an on-again, off-again affair that seems to have picked up steam since the mysterious disappearance of their mutual annoyance, Goodman Hugen of House Candren, causing unsavory rumors to fly about the pair. Xansippe’s faith in Asmodeus is absolute, and her grasp on the district’s politics via the Chamber of Ecclestials is nearly without equal among her peers.
