Mina Taliesin, The Lady of Masks

First minister of the Raevo Republic, Lady Taliesin is an enigma even to her own people. An archmage of immense power, she controls by proxy every industry and social organization in Raevo. She also serves as the primary liaison between Raevo and the Ravencourt Sanctuary. Taliesin gained her moniker from the metal face mask she wears at all times since the assassination attempt (suspected to be by the Soma nobility) that took her husband's life and left her partially blind and disfigured.
A grand strategist, Taliesin has ruled for decades,successfully defending her rule against challengers from within and without the province. Her expansive spy network keeps her abreast of all dangers to the government. Rumors have it that she hasa highly-plcaed contact within Soma itself, allowing her to sabotage the vampire's endeavors.
Lady Taliesin seeks to destroy the vampire aristocracy and control all of Soma. In her mind, this is the only way to be truly free of their corruption and the influence of The City Below. Only the common threat of The Burach Empire stays her hand.
