Elizabeth House
Elizabeth House walks the halls of Old York's power dressed in preserved pre-fall gowns and jewelry once worn by saints of the Telling Visions, and nothing about her appearance suggests what brought her there. She is tall, beautiful, intelligent, with striking dreadlocked hair and the bearing of someone who belongs among the Walled Street Families. The presentation is deliberate. She arrived in Old York as a refugee and made certain that no one would ever see her as one.
She came from a private family commune roughly ten days southeast of Old York, a closed community of medical practitioners where she had a husband, three children, and a peaceful life as a devout Telling Visions worshiper. Thrill Kill raiders ended that life in a single raid. Her husband was killed. Two of her children were murdered. A third, a girl named Mel, was taken.
House did not break. She traveled to Old York, presented herself at Thirty Rock temple, and climbed into the political class through religious ties, favors, and the kind of shrewd maneuvering that the Walled Street Families recognize and reward. She is not merely surviving among them. She is organizing the largest mercenary contract in Iron Cross history: the total eradication of all Thrill Kill raiders on the eastern seaboard and the recovery of her daughter. The contract is funded through every political, religious, and financial channel she can access, and the scale of it has drawn the attention of everyone who matters in Old York.
Somewhere out there, Mel may still be alive. Everything Elizabeth House has built since the raid exists for that possibility.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Elizabeth House's life divides cleanly into before and after a Thrill Kill raid on her family commune, a private community of medical practitioners roughly ten days southeast of Old York. Before: a husband, three children, a devout practice of Telling Visions worship, and the quiet certainty that comes from living among one's own. After: a dead husband, two murdered children, and a daughter named Mel who was captured during the raid and has not been recovered.
House traveled to Old York and presented herself at Thirty Rock temple, where she was accepted not as a refugee but as a political asset. She climbed the ranks of the Walled Street Families through religious connections, political favors, and a shrewdness that transformed personal catastrophe into institutional influence. She now moves among the Heights' elite in preserved pre-fall gowns and Telling Visions relics, wielding the kind of power that others accumulate over lifetimes.
Her current project consumes everything she has built: the organization of the largest mercenary contract in Iron Cross history. The objective is the total eradication of all Thrill Kill raiders on the eastern seaboard and the recovery of her daughter Mel. The contract draws on every religious, political, and financial channel she can access. Whether the operation serves justice, vengeance, or a mother's refusal to grieve, the result will reshape the eastern seaboard's power dynamics regardless.
