Alira Tahan

Biography
Alira has been a slave all her life. She spent her human life as a serving girl in the sultan's palace, until the Al-Shavar took over Turkey just prior to World War 1. She was turned by an elder of the warrior caste, but her gender prevented her from rising in station. The disciplines she learned were always to make her a better slave, a beautiful bodyguard to those she was assigned. She was often assigned to both "entertain" and protect ghouls and humans important to her masters. Celerity and blood sorcery were emphasized, followed by Obfuscate. She accompanied them when they moved into Afghanistan in the 1940's to escape the second great war. Over time, she learned just enough to escape to America during the "Desert Storm" war when her last master died in the great oil field fires. She was accepted into the DC area, but only with great reluctance and suspicion. She was required to be strongly blood bonded to an elder of the AVC, which she did not object to. After all, a hard life free in America would be preferable to a a slave's life amongst her kin... she hoped.
