Cage

Priests of the God of Death get little respect, which suits Cage fine. She is a priestess of that unpopular god and the close friend and traveling companion of Taylor Stan, a noble son fallen on hard times, whom she stays beside after injury wrecks his standing in his own house. In public she wears the smooth manners her robes require; in private she is brash, quick tempered, and happy to kick whatever furniture stands nearest. She also loves a drink. Her service gives her a feel for her surroundings that ordinary people lack, a sensitivity to curses, negative energy, and things that linger where they should not. Cale Henituse crosses paths with her and Taylor on the road to the capital.
