Lynien is to all appearances a young, good-looking human female from New Tellare, dressed in black and red leathers, with very pale skin, wild auburn hair and very dark brown eyes. A slender stiletto is strapped along each slim thigh, a bow sticks up from her backpack, and a slightly curved, very well-made rapier rides her right hip. She moves with an easy grace that suggests she will be very hard to catch by surprise.Lynien has honed her skills in the acquisition of other people's property greatly since leaving Dagaren's caravan, a process greatly aided by her theft of Maedar's Ring, which grants her invisibility. She avoids direct head-on combat wherever possible, specializing instead in the sudden stab in the back.
While not quite trusting his motives, she has aided the warrior Eloy in his learning of some of the specialized skills of her trade. Both are members of the Guild in Lossal. Since the massacre of that Guild, members are rather rare these days.
Lynien was not driven towards the Blood Snake by the same desires as some of the others, but she heard the word 'hoard' mentioned more than once, and to someone of her nature this was enticement enough. The traps in the Pyramid of Anshenkehra would have killed most of the party were it not for Lynien, and at the end of that adventure she found herself in possession of the Regalia of Nebekheshut the Fate Bringer. While providing her with significant benefits to her speed and stealth, she is unsure of the eventual goals of this most mysterious of the Lost Gods of Khabra.
Recently she has been putting some time into increasing her skills in combat as well as her more stealthy ones, and has assisted Eloy in one of his assassinations. After all, the loot was good.
During Gorfang's brief Governership of Lossal she was listed as 'Chief of Security' but this was a fairly ironic title for someone who did rather well out of the whole affair. Like Eloy, she is one of the very few remaining members of the Lossal Thieves' Guild after the Fae Mhor massacre.
She accompanied Gorfang and Eloy on the Quest for the Seeds of Life, but was slain in Sigil. Because of her association with Nbekheshut, she ascended to Godhood as Lynien the Trickster, Lady of Chance.
