Her motivations are bluntly mercenary \u2014 money comes first, and she makes no effort to hide it even when addressing her queen. As a Bow Fighter she provides reliable long-range damage and pairs well with mounted units pushing the front line.

As a Cavalier he excels at seizing initiative: his personal <strong>Acceleration<\/strong> skill triggers after each kill, stacking Speed bonuses that make him progressively harder to outrun across a long battle.
