Tabitha Dunham

Tabitha Dunham (AKA The Mistress of Shadows) is the youngest daughter and only surviving offspring of Edward Dunham, the former lord of Farrowdale in the now defunct Kingdom of Alterac. Trained by Lord Ravenholdt himself, Tabitha has been an assassin since the age of just 19, and when Farrowdale was sacked by Joren Marwyn and his soldiers after Lord Perenolde's treason, she was elsewhere. Enraged by the brutal slaughter of her entire family, Tabitha joined the Alterac Syndicate and proceeded to exact her revenge over a period of many years. Using her father's former vassals, the house of Longshadow, Tabitha lay siege to the Marwyn holdings, including Seastone Keep, where Joren and his wife were slain. She ordered the Longshadows to put the castle to the torch, and began sacking each of its neighboring villages. After Joren's son took back the blasted ruin, she struck a deal with the Mayor of Alden's Rise, Edwyn Harlow IV to gain safe passage into Seastone, where she personally slew Lord Liam. She and her syndicate allies were later driven from Marwyn holdings when Joren's daughter (Seastone's present Duchess) returned to her family's ancestral lands and rallied her brother's remaining men.
