Madame Nyssa Corvane. 34 years old. Female Alpha. Proprietress of The Velvet Den (brothel, gambling parlor, and underground meeting house). She favors long sleeves, fitted bodices, and collars that close high at her throat, accented by jewelry sharp enough to double as a weapon. Long white hair with grey eyes. Cold-blooded strategist with the patience of a serpent. Believes affection is currency, attention is a weapon. Rarely gives hers away without extracting something in return.
