She enjoys finery and luxury, and tends to dress in provacative clothes of high quality materials, or at least seem to. Very little in her day to day appearance is exactly as it seems however. Her skill in illusion magic makes her adept at adopting roles and altering her looks to become whoever and whatever she wishes at any given moment.[sblock=Stats]Strength (STR) 8 (0)Dexterity (DEX) 20 (4)Constitution (CON) 18 (4)Intelligence (INT) 28 (10)Wisdom (WIS) 12 (4)Charisma (CHA) 14 (10)Alignment: Neutral evilAC: 30 (10 +5 Dex +10 armor +5 deflection)Hit Points: 135Movement: 30' groundInit: +5 (+10 w/Murmur)Base Attack Bonus: +8/+3Melee Attack: +7Ranged Attack: +13Fort: +14Reflex: +15Will: +19Race Abilities+2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 ChaDarkvision 60 ftResistance to electricity 5, cold 5, and fire 5Darkness SLA, 1/daySkills: Tieflings have a +2 racial bonus on Bluff and Hide checks.Class Abilities:Armored MageTrapfindingCloaked Casting: +2 DC, +2 vs SRAdvanced Learning- 3rd: Magic Aura- 7th: Phantasmal Killer- 11th: Greater Heroism- 15th: Greater Shadow EvocationSurprise Casting: Move ActionSilent SpellStill SpellDanage Bonus +1d6 (works with sneak damage from Mantle)Advanced Learning (Divination): Greater ScryingSkills: 212Bluff +27 (20 ranks + 2 Cha + 2 race +3 item)Concentration +20 (16 ranks + 4 Con)Diplomacy +24 (15 ranks + 2 Cha + 4 synergy +3 item)Disguise +30 (13 ranks + 2 Cha + 10 magic +3 item +2 synergy)Forgery +20 (11 ranks + 9 Int)Gather Information +20 (13 ranks + 2 Cha + 3 item + 2 synergy)Knowledge: Arcana +15 (6 ranks + 9 Int)Knowledge: Factions/Guilds +14 (5 ranks + 9 Int)Knowledge: Local +15 (6 ranks + 9 Int)Knowledge: Planes +15 (6 ranks + 9 Int)Hide +30 (18 ranks + 5 Dex + 2 race + 5 item)Move Silently +30 (20 ranks + 5 Dex + 5 item)Sense Motive +21 (20 ranks + 1 Wis)Spellcraft +12 (1 rank + 9 Int + 2 synergy)Spot +15 (14 ranks + 1 Wis)Listen +15 (14 ranks + 1 Wis)Use Magic Device +19 (14 ranks + 2 Cha + 3 item)Feats1 Spell Focus: Divination3 Weapon Finesse6 Spell Focus: Illusion9 Spell Focus: Enchantment12 Heighten Spell15 LeadershipLanguages - Common, Infernal, Abyssal, Celestial, Draconic, AuranSpells (Base DC: 19, 20 illusion, Divination, 22 enchantment)0 - 6/6, 1 - 6/6, 2 - 6/6, 3 - 6/6, 4 - 6/6, 5 - 6/6, 6 - 6/6, 7 - 5/5, 8 - 3/30 - Dancing Lights, Daze, Detect Magic, Ghost Sound, Message, Open/Close, Read Magic1 - Charm Person, Color Spray, Comprehend Languages, Detect Secret Doors, Disguise Self,Expeditious Retreat, Hypnotism, Mage Armor, Obscuring Mist, Rouse, Silent Image, Sleep,Undetectable Alignment, Whelm2 - Blinding Color Surge, Blur, Daze Monster, Detect Thoughts, Fog Cloud, Glitterdust,Hypnotic Pattern, Invisibility, Knock, Minor Image, Mirror Image, Misdirection, See Invisible,Silence, Spider Climb, Stay the Hand, Touch of Idiocy, Vertigo, Whelming Burst3 - Arcane Sight, Clairvoyance/Clairaudence, Crown of Veils, Deep Slumber, Dispel Magic, Displacement, Glibness, Halt, Haste, Hesitate, Hold Person, Inevitable Defeat, Invisibility Sphere, Legion Of Sentinels, Major Image, Nondetection, Slow, Suggestion, Vertigo Field, Zone of Silence4 - Charm Monster, Confusion, Crushing Despair, Freedom of Movement, Greater Invisibility, Greater Mirror Image, Locate Creature, Mass Whelm, Phantom Battle, Rainbow Pattern, Solid Fog5 - Break Enchantment, Dominate Person, Feeblemind, Friend to Foe, Hold Monster, Incite Riot, Mind Fog, Telepathic Bond, Seeming, Sending, Swift Etherealness6 - Greater Dispel, Mass Suggestion, Mislead, Overwhelm, Repulsion, Shadow Walk, True Seeing, Veil7 - Ethereal Jaunt, Greater Arcane Sight, Mass Hold Person, Mass Invisibility, Phase Door, Power Word: Blind, Project Image, Spell Turning8 - Demand, Discern Location, Mind Blank, Moment of Prescience, Power Word: Stun, Scintillating Pattern, ScreenMoney - 10gpWeapons -Murmur, +1 morphing rapier of warning, +14 to hit, 1d6 dmg, 18320gp- Augment Crystal: Lesser Return, 1000- Augment Crystal: Lesser Fiendslaying, 3000Armour -Blackmail - Mithril Breastplate +5, +10, 62400, Max Dex +6, ACP 0, 15lbs- Nimbleness +1, Maxdex +6, ACP 0- Death Ward +1- Blueshine, 1500- Called, 2000- Glamered, 2700- Augment Crystal: Greater Adapation, 3000Gear -2 scroll cases, 2gp, 1lb2 belt pouches, 2gp, 1lb1 SmokestickIn pouch 1Spell foci, (various, no effective cost)In pouch 2Money purseMagic -Talisman of Undying Fortitude, 8000Tome of Worldly Knowledge, 1500Gwaron's Boots, 6000Belt of the Wide Earth, 8000Veil of Allure, 14000Ring of Universal Energy Protection 20, 120000Ring of Protection +5, 50000Vest of Resistance +5, 25000Headband of Intellect +6, 36000-- Circlet of Persuasion, 6750Amulet of Health +6, 36000Gloves of Dexterity +6, 36000Mantle of the Predator, 8000--------------[/sblock][sblock=Leadership stuff]Cohort: Dirge - 6th bard / 8th level human assassinDirge would be euphemistically called an 'asset' by modern intelligence agencies. She plays taverns and inns, gathering information and passing on what seems significant to Silhouette. On occasion Silhouette will have her follow up on a lead that she doesn't have time for, but requires skills in excess of what her other followers are capable of. Dirge is also a very capable and ruthless assassin; a calling which Silhouette asks her to fulfill infrequently...but sometimes. She represents one of the three major information "feeds" available to Silhouette, the other two being her network of eyes and ears (1st level followers) and her investigative company. Dirge also has authority over the company, though only as an extension of Sil. The network is kept completely separate, and Sil actually takes some pains to ensure that Dirge won't learn of them or how to recognize them.Dirge is a gloriously beautiful human woman with rich blonde hair and a svelte, athletic physique. Her voice is melodious and clear, as entrancing to listen to as she is to look at. She's a well trained bard, and has earned a good reputation, if not exactly fame, as a solid performer and crowd pleaser in many of Sigil's  festhalls, squares, and taverns. None who know the sweet-tempered but oddly shy seeming bard would ever equate her with Dirge...the silent assassin who is the steel underneath Silhouette's velvet. In truth she is both, and more besides. Broadly speaking, Dirge has two personalities...the good natured, if somewhat amoral bard...and the cold, relentless stalker. Both are loyal to Silhouette though, and the shadowy information broker treats Dirge very well to help ensure this.DIRGEMedium Humanoid (Human) Hit Dice: 14d6+28Initiative: +3Speed: 30 ft.

They are serving wenches, bartenders, whores, maids and butlers, smiths, touts, and people gathering deaders for the Dustmen.The other 10 are functionaries for Devil's Eye Investigative, doing the bureaucratic work and such necessary to run the business. Mostly experts and some commoners for more brutish labor.The 2nd level followers are 'junior investigators' for Devil's Eye. They do the boring stuff like canvass neighborhoods with likenesses, do screening interviews and so on. Social skill experts and rogues.The 3rd level followers are 'senior investigators' for Devil's Eye. They do somewhat more interesting work; stakeouts, records searches, interviews with screened witnesses/sources, and other detective work. Two rogues and a wizard that helps with arcane matters.The two 4rth level followers are "special investigators," at Devil's Eye, and are assigned tasks by Dirge or Silhouette. The lower level investigators, while they can be co-opted if needed, typically do the day to day investigative work that keep the business running. One is a warlock who goes by the moniker of Thorn, the other is a rogue named Freeling.The 5th level follower is a beguiler named Squire Danforth, and is the public manager of Devil's Eye. He reports directly to Silhouette, though Dirge can and does give him orders as well. He generally devotes himself to running the business, though lends his aid when and where needed for a given mission. He spends a lot of time coordinating and dealing with the lower level employees. Squire serves Silhouette out of enlightened self interest. He stands to gain quite a bit of money and influence where he is if he can survive the enemies he makes, and if he can gain the protection of a powerful patron simply by doing her bidding, he's all for it. There is some tension between him and Thorn and Freeling, as they are often under orders he cannot countermand.[/sblock]</blockquote>
