Valara Cirio
"C.C. is an alias used by Valara the Blade when working alone. Canon clarification: Valara / C.C. is the Thieves Guild leader and a Witchborn-protector who uses detection senses to identify shapeshifted bodies, real Witchborn signatures, and identity mismatch; her power is not general lie detection and she does not know Castro command leadership."

Bio
Valara Cirio is known to Gravenhurst as The Blade, guildmaster of the Thieves Guild and a quiet protector of mutates displaced by Dr. Krane’s experiments. Under the alias C.C., she moves through the city as an independent broker of secrets, gathering intelligence while keeping her true strategy buried beneath layers of rumor. Her altered senses can detect Krane-touched mutation nearby, making her both hunter and shield. Few know C.C. and The Blade are the same woman; fewer survive misusing that knowledge.
Notes
