Aleksai

Also known as Lady Evil.

A black-skinned, yellow-haired witch from The Underworld who was involved in the abduction and torture of Daren Fawley. As we made our way back from the first trip to Bexar she appeared to us along the Tarstone Road, and (seemingly referring to our world) said, "This will do".

In our first meeting with her, she appeared to use some sort of Dark Magic, and she was accompanied by an excellent swordsman named Drake.

During their return from Sunshine she appeared and gave Faolan a dagger, which has been magicked to be particularly deadly to someone whom she indicated would be found in the Whispering Wood on the lands of The Bruce. It also seems to make its wielder blood-thirsty. On the dagger a name is inscribed in the language of the Underworld, it translates as "Aleksandr", and the dagger was specifically made to kill this person, who is Aleksai's younger brother (aka Molly Hatchet).

Aleksai had a penchant for meddling in the affairs of the Anglian Shadow, and she ended up meeting her death as a consequence of her murder/kidnapping of Queen Anne. Faolan sliced her into pieces in the Anglian Shadow, then pursued her essence into the Half-Light, where he cleaved her skull and beheaded her, leaving her "well and truly dead".

Known siblings: Aleksandr and Adam (who was also her lover].
