UNGUILDED THIEF 62-A-01 RYBRYN OF DARA (AKA SHADOW) Unguilded Thief Rybryn’s father was a petty nobleman who supported her and her mother from his position as a minor member of the royal government. He died when she was fourteen, leaving them with almost nothing except the house they lived in. To make ends meet, her mother first let the servants go and then began to sell off the family belongings. In desperation, Rybryn committed her first theft at age sixteen, taking jewels from another noblewoman’s home. For two years crime provided a decent income for her and her mother. She always had some tale for where the coin was coming from, which her mother rarely believed. Afraid her daughter was prostituting herself, but in desperate need of the money, her mother did not press the issue. During one burglary, she was almost caught by the Lia Kavair and had to take an extended break. After that, she purchased a good quality short sword and paid a mercenary to teach her how to use it. She has never had to use the weapon, but carries it with her on the job. A year ago, Shadow entered the home of a nobleman, only to discover it was a trap. Rather than turn her over to the authorities, the mysterious owner revealed he knew her real identity and made her an offer she could not refuse. She would become his personal thief. In return he would protect her identity and pay her a monthly wage. She accepted. He also arranged for additional training that has made her more useful to him. Since then, a purse is delivered to Rybryn at the first of each month. Sometimes it contains only money; sometimes a small black stone is added to the contents. When the stone appears, Shadow goes to a prearranged location and receives instructions. Her missions have ranged from following someone to theft of documents, spying on meetings, and delivery of packages. She has tried to find out the identity of her mysterious master, but without success.
