Biography
Theophanie was once human but became Venin, rising to a position of power equivalent to General Lilith Sorrengail. Wielding the Storm-Wielder signet, she commanded storms with devastating speed and strength. Formerly tied to the Temple of Dunne, she later abandoned her human ties to fully embrace Veninism.
In Onyx Storm, she confronts Violet Sorrengail directly, taunting her as a potential successor and rival. Their battle culminates in Theophanie’s death. Despite her overwhelming storm-wielding powers, Theophanie is ultimately defeated when Violet combines her lightning, tactical skill, and a ceremonial dagger imbued with divine wrath. This dagger, delivered to Violet by Aaric from the high priestess, proves crucial in piercing Theophanie’s Venin defenses and killing her.
Physical Description
Body & Build
- Tall and imposing, with high cheekbones and a full mouth.
- Would be strikingly beautiful if not for her Venin corruption.
- Gnarled fingers that betray her transformation.
Hair
- Long silver hair, often worn in a braid.
Eyes & Skin
- Eerie red eyes with scarlet veins fanning from her temples, resembling a masquerade mask.
- A faded tattoo of Dunne’s emblem — two crossed swords clasped by a claw — marks her forehead.
- Red glow around her irises, brighter than that seen in Jack Barlowe.
- Skin is unnaturally pale, enhancing her otherworldly appearance.
Clothing & Gear
- Wears hooded, floor-length robes typical of high-ranking Venin.
- Robe colors vary: purple at the Battle of Resson, blue at Basgiath, maroon in nightmares.
- Carries a staff resembling a long red cane made of misshapen wood.
Powers
- Veninism — Like all Venin, Theophanie channels magic directly from the source rather than through a dragon or gryphon. As a Maven, she stands at the highest rank of Venin, equivalent to a General.
- Gravity Manipulation — Can lift enemies into the air, slam them to the ground, or knock objects from the sky.
- Shields — Creates protective barriers of raw power.
- Distance-Wielding — Able to vanish from one location and reappear in another instantly.
Signet
Storm Wielding: Initially mistaken for lightning-wielding, Theophanie’s true power is storm-wielding, a rare and formidable ability that surpasses even General Lilith Sorrengail’s lightning. She is capable of generating tornados—something Lilith never achieved—and can manipulate weather itself, altering temperature, wind, and other storm elements to dominate the battlefield.
Abilities
- Fighting Adaptation — Like all Venin, she can rapidly adjust to an opponent’s combat style.
- Immunity to Dragonfire — Venin are impervious to dragonfire, making them resistant to one of the deadliest weapons on the battlefield.
