 **Background**: No one knows where The Pythia came from, what her name is, or what she wants. She arrived in New York just after Jane took control of the Camarilla, and after a brief private meeting between her, Jane, and Samantha, she was given exactly what she asked for: a small shop on the Promenade from which to work. She became a fixture of the marketplace, as one of the few in the upscale area to not be beholden to the Giovanni, who, after prying a bit too far into her affairs many years ago, have never done so since. She can sometimes be found the the Fountain, buying small trinkets for strangers, but almost no one sees her leave or enter the building itself. To most, she is a kindly old woman who is a bit difficult to understand, and prohibitively expensive to speak with professionally. To those who go to seek her help, however, she is universally revered, and sometimes feared. Jane is known to see her from time to time, but she never goes herself to Elysium. Anais refuses to go anywhere near the small store. It is rumored that she has a vast collection of things with seemingly little to no connection to each other that are stored in a magical, hidden space. If one offers her something she is seeking, she will gladly give her services for free. Unfortunately, what these things are seems to change day to day. **Background**: No one knows where The Pythia came from, what her name is, or what she wants.

After being found by the Camarilla and briefed on her existence, she was passed off to Anastasia, the Toreador's rivals hoping the Caitiff would prove an annoyance and distraction for the woman. However, Anastasia seems oblivious to the intent, and has treated the Caitiff decently well, if being unknowingly patronizing and demeaning... almost all the time. She was put to work as an assistant to the family, doing minor menial tasks for them and caring for the house. It's a meager existence, but she understands that it is better than the alternatives, and accepts it as the way things are.

 +
 +Liath aes Sídhe was born to an indentured farming family who worked a tract of land just outside of Kilkenny. Her mortal life was a constant struggle of her whole family to eke out a subsistence under the rule of the English landowners who held the lease to their farm. Years of loss and hardship ended in violence when, in 1798, Liath and her older brother Liam joined the Irish Rebellion in hopes of overthrowing British rule. This ended disastrously, for the whole country but especially for Liath when Liam was killed in battle and she was taken by a loyalist militia force. However, rather than being murdered or imprisoned she somehow wound up in the clutches of Lady Katherine Planteghast, a particularly cruel Venture. She turned Liath against her will, and then used a combination of blood bond, domination, and torture to turn Liath into an obedient slave knight. This was a method Lady Planteghast had mastered and used on other Childer to make a few particularly deadly servants.
 +
 +Laith and her fellow knights saw the most use in India, fighting Ravanos and Aasimite resistance to company rule and crushing mortal rebellion as needed. This continued for years until Katherine Planteghast began dealing with Valeria Wynter, a Venture who had considerable interest in ending company rule of India so that formal British rule could begin. The two engaged in social combat as the Venture of India were split between Royalist and Company, but as the tide began to shift towards the Royalist Rule Valeria made her move. She broke the blood bonds Katherine had so meticulously forged and allowed the five Planteghast Childer Knights to brutally murder Katherine. However, they didn’t stop there, four of the Knights began to devour their Sire in some sort of vicious perversion of Diablerie. Perhaps it was a consequence of the conditioning Lady Planteghast had subjected them to, but whatever it was the Knights who partook were cursed with a hunger for flesh. The other Knights scattered, but Liath remained and prostrated herself before Valeria, pledging her service to the one who had saved her. Valeria, seeing the potent mix of Loyalty and brutality, accepted.
 +
 +Liath did prove to be both loyal and brutal. She was Valeria’s red right hand in India, assisting with the shift from Company rule to British rule, later hunting down various Kin opposition with great prejudice. Valeria departed from India some time in the 1880’s, she and Liath were in England for the beginning of the first world war but left for America in 1916. There Liath assumed the name Leah O’Shae, which is the name she uses to this day. Now well established as a loyal servant to Valeria, Miss Wynter saw fit to frequently use Leah as a face for social or business opportunities, especially in dealings with kine. The two were certainly loyal to the Camarilla, but with the Tower’s presence weakening already, many of their dealings were done independently. The two made good profit off of the second world war and Valeria was cemented as a pillar of the Venture presence in New York.
 +
 +In 1990 Valeria backed Jane Doe in her bid as prince, much to Leah’s despair. By now it was obvious to Leah that Valeria should be the next prince, an opinion that was shared by a good handful of the Camarilla. But Valeria was convinced of Jane, and Leah was loyal to Valeria, so despite open objection Leah was there when the War of Wallstreet began. Leah, Amalia, and Jezebelle distinguished themselves in the front lines of the war, coordinating incredibly well with one another despite Jezebelle’s concerns about the loyalties of the other two. Their tactics and talent in open combat were key in securing the throne for Jane. Leah was horrified by the treaties signed with the Anarchs and Sabbat, but was placated by the return of upper Manhattan to the Camarilla and Valeria’s new position as Primogen. The 90’s and early 00’s were a very fruitful period for the Camarilla, but that didn’t stop Leah from periodically imploring Valeria to consider making moves on Belfort’s throne. Other than that Leah has been busy making deals with the Zannalbane Corporation on Valeria’s behalf and killing anyone Val decides needs killing. Most recently she had been sent to Seattle, supposedly to help with Wynter interests in the area, but more likely as a punishment for killing an Anarch who had been weaseling his way into Manhattan. After a few long years she's finally back in New York.
