Vixia Emberclaw

Description

Vixia Emberclaw is a red kobold candlemaker whose candles light the Redbane Tavern and Inn, and whose explosive oils have lit considerably more than that. Behind the shopfront she moves between circles that are never supposed to touch: she supplies the Gloaming Guild with sabotage candles, keeps a discreet business partnership with Jaco at the Night Dancer, and answers to a handler in Lady Aurelia's Inquisition who keeps her on a short leash. She has bluffed her way into command of the Gold Veil Knights as a supposed Inquisition agent, steamed open letters bound for Prince Visvalir's desk, and planted Harpy Puddlewrench's documents there as the first job of her infiltration. Among the Heroes she is the schemer: she quietly looks out for Daria, needles Caelum Cadere into boldness, and unsettles Thalara South, who calls her as frightening as she is fascinating. Since the Burnt Sapling hid its fire within her, she carries something older and hungrier than her candles.
