Bio:
Kreszentia was born to Sebastian and Isabella Kardos, she is the younger sister to Valerian Kardos (excommunicated) and older sister to Clement Kardos (deceased). As she was born into the Kardos family she has the inate ability to use Hammer Fist a technique that is carried down from the direct path of the father’s bloodline. (I.E. it can be passed to a woman but she can’t pass it to ‘her’ children, making her the last living furson that can use the ability.)
As her father was a High Lord and her mother an Inquisitress Elite, the expectations of success was placed on the young calico’s shoulder early and often. From the time she could walk she was pressured to run, to talk she was pressured to use several languages, and when she could hold her ground and think for herself she was pressured to fight. And as a young girl she thrived under pressure. By age 8 she was a black belt in Sambo and learning other styles, could read and write and speak Latin, German, and English, run a mile in 12 minutes and lift her own weight and hold it above her head for an hour. Her young back bore the whip scars of every failure and with grit and determination she strove to beat her trainers at every task they set upon her.
When she was old enough she was enrolled into an Inquisitorial ran military boarding school following in the steps of her older brother, who was just as tough, and smart as her at that age. In some ways she pushed herself just to get on par with his accomplishments. Never knowing his dark side and jealous rage for thier youngest sibling.
When Clement died in a wargame accident, it devastated her family, as the only male heir of the family that was fertile, the hope of a continued lineage of the Kardos family was snuffed out. Her mother and father were both too old to have another kid, and her mother died suddenly a few years later. Her father’s death was just a few weeks later and many said it was of a broken heart. Behind the scenes though her older brother was positioned to take the coveted 3rd seat and became the new high lord, setting into motion his own dark plans.
Meanwhile in the 1980s Kreszentia cut her teeth for live battles by helping Russia against Afghanistan, while flushing out cultists trying to infiltrate the numerous resistance groups in the area and later Thuggee cults in India. Her love of removing limbs from her opponents and dancing in a maelstrom of gore garnered her, her first title, Sister Scissors.
By the 90s she was an Inquisitor Elite, going from one hot spot to another, participating in Tiger poking operations and high risk attacks in areas the organization wasn’t welcomed. She built a ruthless retinue of assassins, jack of all trades, mechanics, gun fighters, and soldiers, but very few could keep up with her pace, in war or strategy. But as vicious as she appeared, the death toll on both sides she was racking up bothered her, making her go from a wild charismatic warrior to a brooding, jaded master of psychological warfare and torture. Her bloody trail and love of bows and ribbons earned her, her second title The Crimson Ribbon.
Despite her reputation though she has rescued, and freed several of her team members, and personally taken bullets for them. She believes deeply in Project Orphan and from it gained loyal servants like the Red Giant Oppie Seville, and the Hierophant half demon Bella Reopon.
And of course after nearly annhilating an entire cult dedicated to reviving a long dead jaguar god, she gained and named her acolyte Kingman Highborn.
But with all these victories, her brother was pulling the strings, he had a love/hate relationship with his sister, loving her for her drive and dedication, and hating her for her times of freeing assets to join or leave the organization. He even tried to sacrifice her to the Chinese army in Tibet, only to have her acolyte bring down a side of a mountain to block the Chinese from attacking unarmed protesters and monks. But his greatest success was starting an Inquisitorial civil war.
After promoting her prized acolyte to Inquisitor, he sent him after a powerful Inquisitor Elite named Jorge San Juan that had supposedly fallen in with a dark god of plagues.Though he was supposed to attack alone, after he told her of the near suicide mission, she joined him defying her brother’s orders to remain in Germany and brought the entire retinue, and watched as Kingman’s love was struck by flak and kamikazed her jetbike into the enemy to save them all.
Enraged she helped Kingman track down and bring down the rogue Inquisitor. From Jorge San Juan’s dying breath she discovered the a new faction had taken root in the Inquisition, one that believed in using demonic forces to fight other demonic forces, and removing the ‘veil’ of disbelief in the existence of hell and the abyss in the general public.
The acts of betrayal took place all over the world as the new faction stirred rivalries between traditionalists and freehearts, shadowy holy wars and assassinations threatened to bring the Inquisition to near destruction. Through it all she worked to uncover the members of the Dark Inquisition and when she discovered her brother was behind it all through torture of thier own family butler, she launched an attack with every Inquisitor and militant member loyal to the Freehearts, and even a few Traditionalists that saw the light. But this had been a ploy all along.
Thinking she was chasing her brother through a portal into a pocket dimension of hell meant to commune with dark forces, she walked along with her retinue and Kingman into a trap. Surrounded on all sides and cut off from her army the retinue minus her psychic (who had stayed behind to use her powers to beg for help from any who would listen) fought waves of demons under the command of a Klurichir general. Numbers of near immortal creatures in league with her own brother, and months straight of combat though had worn her down, and as her retinue was beaten down, or separated from her, she dueled the general and his stomach mouth bit off her right arm. Still she didn’t quit and as it looked bleak, Testsiliya her psychic ripped open a portal into the 7th circle itself and led a counterattack with the elite Black Guard and mercenary companies wanting to slake their talents against otherworldly foes.
The counter attack drove a wedge into the demon horde and allowed them to rescue her wounded retinue, but as Black Guard soldiers tried to pulled Kreszentia out of the fight, her brother struck out in the chaos, killing men with his rapier like they were moths in a flame, but thinking his sister near death and helpless he got careless, and found her fury keen to answer his challenge with a roar of fury she charged him and his rapier took out her eye as her hand dug deep into his chest.
She passed out from the blood loss a second later.
When she woke up, it had been revealed she had been in a coma for months, blood transfusions and magic had barely kept her off death’s door. Her hideous scars though made many leery of the already infamous Inquisitress. With her brother’s seat vacated and the organization in chaos she took his seat and consolidated power, spending much of her time directing the survivors in wiping out her brother’s allies.
Though retired from active conflict she does sneak away for ‘personal’ missions from time to time, and has even commissioned Aaron Lawson’s SwiftTech to build her a better arm than the one she lost. She refuses to have her eye replaced though, relishing in the fear and disgust it brings to her enemies. Though all the evidence points to her brother being dead, as they never recovered his corpse, she trains in secret, part of her hoping he survived so she can tear out his heart personally. She is committed to being the last and best Kardos, and her Inquisition will be swift, bloody and protect the innocent, no matter the cost. No matter the sacrifice.
Personality:
-Absolutely fearless and stubborn
-Cold and aloof, with a great deal of dark humor
-Demands a lot of those under her, pushing them to do better at every step
-Believes in freedom of choice, and many of her servants are either freed slaves or people rescued from horrible situations.
-Hates people that talk big and don’t back it up. Especially people playing out to be courageous and turn out to be cowards.
