Gutterall Crowborn
Gutterall
Twin, though younger by a full quarter-hour, Gutterell was raised alongside and in direct contention with her sister, Gutterella. They were each dressed in the same uniform, as proscribed by the dour (and violence-prone) elders of the church; they were expected to challenge each other to learn more quickly. More deeply. Instead, each grew to a murderous hatred of the other. Forbidden to harm each other, they were forced to work as a team, trusting each with the other's life. With dread and barely contained rage, they carried out their Mistress' orders. Rob this bank in some obscure part of the world. Wipe out that family's line on another continent entirely. They had had to use money to corrupt nobles in a minor territory. They had used force to compel obedience from the people of a small town in the forest. They used terror to claim the hearts of a coven of hags. Everything they were ordered to do, they executed flawlessly. The alternative was...dire. The time came when Gutterall finally gave in to her base instincts, and stabbed Gutterella in the back. She did it whilst they were in the midst of escaping a theft, with Gutterall clutching a sling with an infant human in it. A child that the church needed for a specific ritual. Gutterella fell, rolling off of the roof that they had been running on, and into the cold waters of the river far below. Gutterall gripped the child more tightly, grinned a sparse little smile of vengeance, and redoubled her speed.
Relationships
History
Gutterall and Gutterella met as children in an orphanage in Craysilt. When the building burned to the ground, the shadowy, faceless individual that set it was only seen by the two of them, and they were shortly thereafter stolen by slavers and sold to the Cult of Shayna. Through no fault of their own, or perhaps with simply extreme amounts of luck (good or bad in this instance is to be debated), they soon found themselves rising stars among the acolytes. Fanatically loyal and sociopathalogically efficient, the 'Gutter Twins' were a team that was brought to the attention of Vekheteshaynaralax-Shayna herself. Worming their way into what they still think of as Shayna's inner circle, they became a crack team of asymmetric warfare experts.
An orphan 'rescued' from the streets by the Cabal, Gutterall is fanatically devoted to her religion and the Word of the Wyrm. She has stepped on every finger, scratched at every eye, and broken every heart between then and now. She is now the chief enforcer/hitter for the Cabal.
