Beatrix Raethran

Beatrix Raethran is a high elf artificer, first encountered by the whole party on he Prow of Veldaios.

Appearance
Beatrix has long, somewhat greasy blonde hair and green eyes, and wears the goggles and durable leather clothes signature of many artificers. Since Errk encountered her last, her demeanor seems to have shifted into a slightly more malevolent one. She comes off as a bit more sadistic in her scientific endeavors, having created a shield guardian for battle out of another once-living person.

History
Beatrix Raethran was the artificer who "fixed" Errk when he fell from the sky while on patrol, and has a preoccupation with grafting machinery onto living creatures. At some point between her finding Errk and encountering the party, she joined forces with Cagney, a jackal-headed arcanaloth. She and Cagney have since become romantically involved, it seems.

In-Game
Beatrix's voice was first heard in the single sending stone found in the Clock Tower in Eaden. Errk was the only one to recognize it.

Beatrix hired a crew of bandits to help her explore the Prow of Veldaios, some of whom were encountered by the party on their way through. She had them knock Piece and Hathaway unconscious and partially dismantle Alaster, annoyed for their interference in her survey of the Prow. She sent a small salamander-like construct to scout through the floors of the ship, where it eventually found the party as they tried to help Alaster. Rattler caught it as it tried to scuttle up to the top deck. They followed its intended path to where Beatrix sat on the top deck, beside and unconscious Piece and Hathaway.

Beatrix confronted Rattler first, as he stealthily moved to untie their companions. She questioned what he was doing on the ship, entertaining his extraordinarily bad lies before Trill angrily made her way out of the hatch which led up from the stairwell. She and Cagney took their leave, but before they did, Beatrix called out to Errk, expressing pride in him having gone on to live and function after she "fixed" him. She summoned her shield guardian to fight the party before Cagney blinked both of them away from the Prow.
