Shahurashessil works as an intermediary between the Yuan Ti and the human cultures. She has spent many years in the Orient (traveling under the name of Chiasa Aonuma), but recently has been assigned to travel to Alisander in Lamapacher with the tainted one known among the humans as Lord Domnhall. She has reptilian eyes, and a beautiful Oriental look about her. She prefers to dress in Oriental fashions. Bi-sexual, she often uses seductive means to gain her ends. She is quite evil, and has used drugs and sex to enslave entire cities for the Yuan-Ti people. She often negotiates trading deals among the humans. She falls in love easily, and often tries to seduce humans whose bloodlines show a hint of Yuan-Ti into accepting the taint and joining the true race. She tends to be positive and supportive, despite a penchant for some of the most convoluted and vile plans ever conceived by the Yuan Ti. She believes the pure-bloods are the greatest form of Yuan-Ti in existence for they are nearly perfect in human form and nearly perfect in snake form. She does not subscribe very heavily to religion, and believes the abominations, while holy, are given too much power. To her, Yuan-Ti are not Samat, and should be a true blend of human and snake – and the pure bloods are the truest of that blend. She is one of the rare purebloods that can eat her prey whole while in humanoid form, and prefers live animals (small mammals, birds, amphibians, and snails) to cooked foods. However, her long association with humans have given her a taste for human cooked foods, much to the disgust of her friends and family that still live among the Yuan-Ti.
Although she is skilled with the scimitar, she prefers not to be armed, and prefers not to fight, using her power of peace to keep herself from harm. She loves art and music and adores bards of both sexes.
