A capable and intelligent spy for Cardinal Richelieu brought up in poverty, a sensual and beautiful woman who ruthlessly uses her charms to achieve her aims. Possessed of a sharp wit, an unbridled sexuality, and a burning need for vengeance. She is twenty-two, tall, fair-haired and uncommonly beautiful, possessing a voice that can seduce and bewitch. Effortlessly passing as a native noblewoman her beautiful exterior hides a diabolically cunning, ruthless and cruel interior; she is remorseless and unrepentant for her countless “misdeeds” only showing her demonic and frighteningly ugly heritage in the instant she is thwarted in her aims.

Background

Once the wife of Athos, originally the Comte de la Fère. Athos first knows her as an adolescent as Anne de Breuil, but since she was already concealing a scandalous and criminal past at that time, it was probably not her real name.

As a young nun of sixteen, she seduced the convent’s trusting priest. Urging him to steal the church’s sacred vessels to finance a new life in another part of the country, they fled together and were quickly apprehended. Milady then seduced the jailer’s son and escaped, leaving behind her first lover to be branded for theft. The executioner who has to brand the priest happened to be his brother, and blaming Milady for leading his brother astray, he tracked her down on his own and branded her on the shoulder with the same symbol, marking her as a convicted criminal. The priest in turn escaped, and the lovers fled to a small town, where they posed as a country curate and his sister.

The village where they lived was part of Athos’s lands, and he became captivated both by her beauty and her intellect. Despite the opposition of his family and her obscure origins, he married her, giving her his wealth and title, and raising her to the nobility. While the pair were hunting in the forest one day, Milady fell from her horse and fainted. Cutting away her clothes so she could breathe, Athos discovered the convict brand on her shoulder. Dishonored, Athos immediately hanged her from a tree, but she survived the hanging, swearing vengeance.

Later she married into English nobility by wedding Baron Sheffield, the younger brother of Lord de Winter. After she was made her husband’s heir, he died violently and mysteriously within a matter of hours, leaving her a widow with a young child, who is Lord de Winter’s only heir.

Special Attacks

Smite good 1/day extra damage = to HD
Death Attack If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (assassins choice). Studying the victim is a standard action. The death attack fails if the target detects the assassin or recognizes the assassin as an enemy (although the attack might still be a sneak attack if the target is denied his Dexterity bonus to his Armor Class or is flanked). If the victim of such a death attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the assassins class level + the assassins Int modifier) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the assassin. If the victims saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once the assassin has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds.

If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if the assassin does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death attack.
