Exiles
Drow
"You."
Drow turned an insult into a weapon and exile into a calling. Cast out from her people and hardened by survival, she became an assassin whose phasing lets her vanish through shadow, silence, and fear. Among the Exiles, she is both hidden dagger and guarded heart, eliminating threats before they reach the vulnerable people she has chosen as kin. Her vengeance against Malevolus Krane burns cold, not loud, and though her reputation is ruthless, rumors persist that she has spared targets who reminded her of who she used to be.
In Act 5 inside Vithyrex’s Maze, Drow was found by Ash Stonefist in a remote cell block after the Vithyrex eye displaced him. She was injured, barricaded from flameskulls, recognized My Alchemical Romance through Nick Kremp, and later used phasing powers to pull Ash through walls. Drow explained that Timonos Truthstriker is cursed to respawn and that killing him within each 24-hour period extends his imprisonment.
