Ellie

Ellie is an eldritch theurge, a kind of mage that relies on gradually amassing power, and many of them tie their lives to that power to accelerate the process, as she has. But if her magic becomes completely depleted, Ellie becomes very physically weak as a result of that tie.

As a Cleaner child assassin, Ellie was forced into a lifestyle of indulgence, lust and violence to trigger her shadow elf transformation, but later left that life for undisclosed reasons. Pardoned by Yorivalde, she has worked for years as a monk of the Grasping Hands chapter, a monastery, afterwards.

Several weeks ago she was charged with studying the Fearful Shroud, but eventually Liara was careless and it attached itself to her. Unable to control it, Ellie was taken from place to place until arriving at the Miremist Forest, where the Shroud gained a mind of its own and took control over her, feeding on her body and mind, through her theurgy link and seeking new prey through her. Fortunately for her, however, just when she seemed about to expire, the Shroud made a mistake when using Ellie to lure a particularly persistent hero.
