Princess Ophidia as-Sokkari

 

Countless years ago, in the long-forgotten city of Sokkar, Ophidia ruled as crown princess.  Rather than marry and become queen, as was custom, Ophidia preferred to take many lovers, executing them when she grew bored or could no longer trust their fidelity.  One of her lovers was Imnezzar, the son of the most powerful priest in the city.  When Imnezzar died, his father cursed the princess to live forever as an abomination that emerged only at night - until she could find a man to love her for her true self.  None of the princess's viziers could remove the curse, and, though the priest died screaming, he would not reverse it.

Centuries passed and she lived in the fallen ruins of Sokkar as a Lamia Noble.  Finally she met Ayman Dashar, a ghul lord, and he loved her for her true self and the Rom that live in Sokkar freed her from her curse.  Centuries of lonliness and introspection have cleansed the wicked aspects of her personality entirely.  Today she prefers sweet words to violence.

She is now the crown princess of Qadib, which is in the process of being rebuilt (it was destroyed by Yam ibn Saud during his ascension to godhood).  She is a high level sorceress of wind and sand and has gained many new allies from her association with Ayman Dashar.
