Description
Penumbra was never a saint. She grew up in an ascetic organization that indoctrinated its grem members and made them into killers. Their human matriarch, Zenith, was seen as a prophet, and on her behalf the grems killed for what they thought was a higher purpose while she pocketed profits. As was inevitable, one of the grems eventually found out and turned against her. But even as conflict grew in the group, the truth was kept between a select few who sought to gain Zenith's place while maintaining the illusion she'd created. One day, Penumbra was given instructions for a hit from one of the informed few. She dutifully carried it out, but found too late that her target had been her idol and guide, Zenith. This made her the demonic figure of the cult's mythos, "Nadir", and terrified all of her peers. What happened to the cult's remnants after that night, she never found out - she was just a scapegoat who'd been abandoned. Since then, she's been perpetually on the move, dreading the day someone from the group decides to seek revenge for her terrible mistake. While the cult's presence from in her life has been negated, the fear it gave Penumbra is ever-present in her mind and drives many of her decisions.
