Once the thrall of an Illithid diplomat, Skythe was acquired when Kelzaret, Rhazyndarizan's foremost wizard, was given her in good faith after winning a favor from the mindflayer.

The mindless slave became his hobby; rebuilding and remapping her mind a diverting project that taught him much about brain physiology. When she developed learning capabilities, he gave her the name Skythe, of no particular meaning, and "Redmane" for her luxury of crimson red hair he'd become fond of caressing.

It took Kelzaret over 30 years to rebuild Skythe into a self-aware, thinking, speaking, and logical creature. It would make her approximately 50 years of age, but Klzaret has diagnosed that, while part human, she's partially fey of unknown origin, which grants her longevity, ethereal beauty and youth.

A shimmering cascade of crimson red hair winds and waves its way down to the small of her back. Silken locks frame her narrow, golden-kissed face.

In her time she reads the books Kelzaret brings her and ponders the world beyond his protected tower (of which she's never left) or plates her hair into interesting shapes to please him. She also plays her lute or lyre, with which Kelzaret tells her she's quite good,

She's a fast learner, and quickly absorbs whatever Kelzaret imparts upon her... his approval is what she desires most.

Her innocence makes her good natured and kind, which Kelzaret, despite being a Drow, does not discourage.
