Cassandra is a deadly creature bent on manipulating others to her will. Youngest and most beautiful daughter of the noble Du Couteau family.
History
The youngest child of General Du Couteau, Cassandra was born to a life of possibility and privilege among
Tana's Empire noble houses. From an early age, she displayed a keen mind and sharp wit, and it was her mother Soreana in whose footsteps Cassandra would follow.
General Du Couteau eventually sent for his family, installing them close to the governor of the coastal city of
Megima. Surrounded by strangers in an unfamiliar land, Cassandra remained close to her mother, learning much of politics, diplomacy, and subtle influence. As she grew, Cassandra could not help but glimpse other, hidden concerns within Soreana, beyond those of the empire…
Soreana confided in her daughter that she was a
Yuan-ti, espion in the empire, and that, as her daughter, she was one too. Now free of her husband’s watchful eye as he was called for duty in the capital
Holypertuis, Soreana’s real work could begin.
In time, and under her mother’s tutelage, Cassandra blossomed into a young woman of tremendous beauty, cunning and intelligence, if somewhat lacking in empathy. She saw those around her as tools to be used to achieve her goals, and then cast aside just as quickly.
Though she had barely reached the cusp of womanhood, she was initiated into Yuan-ti's spy. She surprised even Soreana with her speed and efficiency, and left no trace of her activities—or her proxies—behind.
