Bio
Tallulah Murn, known as Tallyman, is a halfling assassin of FLESH whose quiet presence carries the weight of a ledger written in scars. Raised in neglect and marked by the murder of her warforged father, she turned private hatred into ritualized Violince against constructs and those who shelter them. Each confirmed kill is carved into her own body, transforming pain into record, prayer, and proof. Her supernatural senses make her a patient stalker, especially in Stormcall, where her targets often realize too late they are being counted. Neutral Evil and methodical, Tallulah is not simply killing for FLESH. She is keeping score.
Notes
Her notoriety stems from ritualistic killings of constructs and construct-affiliated individuals, each marked by a scar carved into her own body. Act 3 Stormcall evidence confirmed a current Tallyman murder pattern: warforged victims with carved tally marks, the Abyssal word “echo,” and reports of small hands and the word “ten.”
