Duke Thalamra Vanthampur

Acid-tongued, shrewd, and aggressive, Duke Thalamra Vanthampur is the matriarch of the Vanthampur family. Born with nothing, she spent years wallowing in obscurity, repairing and renovating the city’s ancient sewer system. One promotion after another followed until she was named Master of Drains and Underways. By then, she had been married three times and given birth to three sons. Her lifelong goal has been to lift herself and her family out of the sewers and into high society.
Years of political dealing, blame shuffling, and bribery paid off when Thalamra was elected to the Council of Four. Although she has served on the council for the shortest amount of time, Duke Vanthampur is easily the most politically savvy council member. She speaks little during meetings of the council, preferring to further her political agenda through meetings in her private offices and at her family estate. When she does choose to debate, she speaks with a strength beyond what it seems like her age should allow, and is known for leveling insults that land unsettlingly close to (supposedly) hidden truths.
Thalamra was barrel-chested and had broad forearms thanks to the years she spent performing manual labor. Through her own efforts, she eventually rose through the city's bureaucracy to become the Master of Drains and Underways.
Over the course of her life, Thalarma married three different men, each of whom died during their marriage. She had a son with each of her husbands, Thurstwell, the eldest; Amrik; and Mortlock. She kept Thurstwell hidden away in seclusion at the family villa, but was quite protective of her favorite, Amrik, the family's heir-apparent. Thalamra merely tolerated the existence of her youngest son Mortlock.
