Fetelle

The Scarred Beauty, Graceful Death, the Silent Hand

All K'Tri who claim the kinship of the Fetelles clan are possessed with unspeakable beauty and grace, but even with that in mind, Fetelle stands as a paragon. Indeed her beauty was so profound that it crossed into the myths and legends of many of Clydira's other races. But it can be said that very little is actually known about the individual that Fetelle was, as she seemed to exist only in shadows and whispers for most of early K'Tri history.

Because of their slight builds and padded feet, the future Fetelles clan members were often used as spies and assassins during the War of Subjugation, alongside their Terratus brethren. While the Terratus were masters of surveillance and distance assassination, the Fidellian excelled in getting in close to their targets and silently disposing them. It was on one such mission that Fetelle's life would be forever changed.

After successfully killing the Andulan Hrak'tesh, an event that signaled the beginning of the end of the war, Fetelle was captured during her escape. She was brutally raped, tortured and experimented on by her captors, her tongue being carved out of her mouth in one instance. Indeed, it was because of the brutality that they ensconced upon her that Fetelle was able to finally flee, by faking death so convincingly that she was thrown into a mass grave. She clawed her way out, through horrors unimaginable, and made her way back to her kinsmen. Fetelle immediately threw herself back into her work, and though physically unable to participate as she was still healing, the knowledge she gained during her time spent as a prisoner of war was invaluable.

After the war, Fetelle was chosen for Ascension, much to her surprise. She was granted empathic abilities, but did not revel in them like her fellow Ascendants. Fetelle did not participate in the formation of her clan, but they named themselves after her in honor of her courage and strength, something they valued more than the beauty that was so common to them. Fetelle graced her clan for a few years, until one night she disappeared into the darkness that had become so comforting for her.
