Lanaya, the Templar Assassin, came to her mission by a path of inquisitive examination. In custody of a scientific bent, she spent her early years connected in painstaking study of nature’s laws–gazing into grimoires of magic and alchemy, recreating experiments from charred portions of the Violet Archives, and learns by heart observations of the Keen record keepers. Already quiet and reticent by nature, the complexity of acquiring these objects further reinforced her talents of stealth. Had she been less humble, she might have become infamous among the guilds as a thief-scholar. As an alternative, her investigations led her into far more obscure corners. As she dedicated her surreptitious talents to releasing the secrets of the universe, she instead unlocked a secret entrance that exists in nature itself: the door to the most Hidden Temple. The intelligence that remained beyond that gateway, proved to be expecting her, and whatever mysteries they revealed in the moment of their discovery was nothing compared to the answers they held out to Lanaya should she continue in their service. She pledged to protect the mysteries, but more to the point, in service to the Hidden Temple she satisfies her infinite craving for understanding. In the eyes of each foe she expunges, a bit more of the mystery is revealed.
