Phoenix D'Ville, born in Trinsic, the 5th daughter of tavern owners Lidérc and Helena D'Ville. It was said that Lidérc was more incubus than vampire, a creature that had many different shapes as a man, woman, animal or light, and it drained the energy out of its victims sexually. During the great battle in Trinsic, Phoenix's parents were both struck down leaving her to be raised by her sister, Lady Elaina, who fled with the family to Malas. Phoenix, welding a kyrss at a young age devoted herself to avenging the deaths of her parents and also providing the spoils of her kills to the family home. Lady Elaina having learned of the ill gotten gains from the slaughter of those deemed evil and the killing of innocents sent Phoenix to live with the Sisters of Mercy. She returned from the convent after 2 years, a Paladin dedicating her life to the Virtues.
