Notes:
Whisper is an assassin.
More than that: she is widely considered the most skilled assassin currently working in Coeur d'Ennui, and certainly the most expensive. She is also noted for an uncanny ability to pick up news on the street almost before it happens; many people have grumbled, only half jokingly, that she must have taken mystic training to be so prescient. Secrets are as critical as information in her line of work, and so she has never explained how she knows what she knows. Her awareness of the underworld's politics, however, has enabled her to avoid seriously angering any of its major powers; Whisper commonly declines or passes off jobs that might jeopardize her political balancing act. These jobs often go to her ex-apprentices, many of whom are members of the Assassins' Guild, and help smooth over any significant conflict between that guild and the independent killer.
Whisper is generally believed to be in her forties. She is known to invest heavily in magic that preserves the strength and flexibility which are so necessary in her work, and so she appears to be half that age. In recent days, her appearance has changed even more dramatically: her already-pale complexion has whitened to a ghostly pallor, and her blue eyes have changed to an eerie, infernal red. While the cause of these changes remains unknown, the timing coincides with a major uptick in her work. Rumor has it that this is somehow related to the recent turmoil in Vir.
When on the job, Whisper dresses in a tight-fitting suit of matte black leather adorned with numerous buckles and flat, tiny-seeming pockets. She carries no visible weapons, nor other gear, such as rope and grapples, that might encumber her. Poison is her tool as often as a more direct blade-thrust, and sometimes her targets pass away with no signs of foul play at all.
