Psylocke

Psylocke was a human soulknife.

Description
Psylocke is a human Mystic who has dark purple hair and eyes. She uses her psionic powers to generate psi-blades from her hands.

Background
Orphaned since birth, Psylocke was found by some duergars as a baby abandoned in the back alleys of Waterdeep. They brought her to their home in the Underdark, where they raised her along with other children of various races and gender. All the children there had some level of psionic ability, and they were trained to enhance and control their powers. Her mentor and handler is Charleston Xavius, an old, crippled, bald duergar man who is a master in the Order of the Awakened. He was kind to her, but the training was tough and exhausting. Soon, her friends started disappearing one by one. When she was old enough, she found out that her 'clan' was the Empty Scabbard Killers, an order of psionic assassins that usually kill for money. Her disappearing friends in fact went off to the surface to assassinate targets.

When she was ready to leave the Underdark to take on her first assignment, Xavius warned that two dangerous men will be looking for her. He told her to join an adventuring party to blend in while awaiting telepathic orders. She was advised to run if she was found, and not to trust anything they say.

While exploring Firehammer Hold, Psylocke met fellow member Graydon Creed, who told her that Howler has wiped out the whole order.

History
In 1491, Professor Winsome Landy hired Ailyn Gardenia, Massimo Redaxe, and Psylocke to escort some artifacts from a recently uncovered digsite around Hoval's Rest.

When they reached Hoval's Rest, the inn was empty save for a bunch of corpses and some bugbear raiders. After dispatching of the bugbears, they headed towards the digsite and entered the Ouroboros Temple. There, they killed Winsome's former teammates as they were turned to ghouls and were the killers of Hoval's Rest before delving deeper into the temple. There, the party encountered ancient elven ghosts, an augmented flameskull and Calador, who attacked them with the Mysterious Bone Artifact.

After killing Calador and sundering the artifact, Winsome crated the Mysterious Bone Artifact and brought it back to Daggerford for further research.

Equipment
Psylocke possessed the Hat of Disguise, which allows her to change her appearance at will. She is often disguised as an old man wizard, known as Bert.

She is wearing a purple dress with red trimmings which she bought from Edwards in Julkoun.

She also possessed the Gloves of Thievery and Ring of Boneshield.
