Lillain Graytail (IMS RO)
Lillain Graytail
Age: 110
Occupation: Guild chapter head and arch-mage
Lillain Graytail is the current leader of The Guild chapter in the capitol city of the Storlas Kingdom and has been since she was thirty-four years old. A powerful magic user who achieved the rank of Arch-mage a year before taking control of the chapter Lillain had proven she was a prodigy even in her earliest years mastering anything she put her mind too. Many people, including her parents, felt that Lillain would go on to achieve many great things in her family name, and while she has none of them are praised by the elite of the kingdom. For the firstborn child of such a prestigious family to become a common adventurer was a scandal that nearly toppled her family name and if her parents had not disowned her and made her younger brother the heir it had been guaranteed her family would fall.
None of that mattered to Lillain as she took to her life of adventure as a duck would to water and she quickly made a name for herself in the guild taking S ranked jobs and succeeding by the end of her first year in The Guild. For decades she and her team saved villages, brought down ancient entities of evil, and hunted rats for everyone from the lowest peasant to the leaders of nations and they made a name for themselves as the go too team when there was trouble. So when Lillain agreed to take the chapter leader offer she was given it came as a shock to many until she announced that she and her teammate Oswald Graytail would be married.
The two had spent years hiding their relationship from the world but when Lillain was given the opportunity to settle down they decided to take it and the chapter quickly became the most well-known on the continent. Lillain took her job very seriously as she oversaw the day-to-day running of such a large guild chapter and saw to the training of new members and many came to see her as a sort of mother figure.
Her life seemed to reach a peak when she and Oswald announced that Lillain was pregnant with twins, but within a year that peak would crumble when Oswald and the younger twin Geralt died in an accident.
Lillain redoubled her efforts and went to extreme lengths to protect her daughter Rory and her chapter house. The measures she took to protect everyone would end up driving many members away to different chapter houses or even from The Guild itself as she became overly paranoid and strict. For five years the premier chapter house fell into decline and it was only Lillain discovering a small child abandoned in the woods that brought her back around to her old self.
Adopting the child who would become her second daughter Soshanna revitalized Lillain and within a matter of years the chapter house was again the greatest in the kingdom. With both her daughters now adults and members of The Guild themselves, Lillain seems to have settled into a kind of semi-retirement leaving many of the day-to-day duties in the hands of her children and a few other trusted members.
Quick to laugh Lillain is always welcome in the guild tavern as many find her a joy to be around with her relatively easy-going attitude and dark sense of humor. Though guild members are just as quick to hide when her temper flairs up and many members have vivid memories of lightning ravaging the guild common room as she separated two arguing members, or a fireball blowing apart a wagon carrying sub-optimal ale.
Despite her age, her magic has allowed Lillain to stay fairly young and she has only recently begun to show gray hairs and a few wrinkles around her eyes. When asked by one younger guild member about it she happily explained that she saw no point in prolonging her life with magic any longer and would be letting nature take its course. The guild member who asked was then sent to latrine cleaning duty for a month when they attempted to make a joke about Lillain's age.
With her mostly raven black waist-length hair, sparkling hazel eyes, and toned figure Lillain easily passes for a woman a fraction of her age, and those who don't already know her age believe she is in her late forties. Despite her apparent age she frequently finds people attempting to woo her and while she will flirt she takes none of the attempts seriously. When asked why she has never given the same answer and the mystery has only fueled people's infatuation with the stunning chapter head.
