Lady Camille Dilisnya

Camille Dilisnya was born to Lev Dilisnya and Anna Kurdzeil in Mordent in 662 BC. Her brother was Richtor Dilisnya. Her half-sister was Oleska Dilisnya and her half-brothers were Yakov Dilisnya and Stepan Dilisnya, all through her father. She married Siegfried Grymig in 681 BC. Three years later she discovered that he was having an affair with Maria Diazi and she poisoned to death the pair of them in what would soon prove to be the seminal event that gave birth to Borca. The Mordentish authorities failed to solve the mystery of the murders, although the truth of the matter is now an open secret. As a precaution however, the parents of Camille had sent her from Mordent to distant relatives in Invidia. En route, she was seized by the Mists and Borca was formed with her as its darklord.

As a darklord, Camille was blessed. She could craft any poison she could imagine, though she was not immune to them herself. She was also cursed. Anyone who she trusted completely would betray her. She took three more husbands. Klaus Boritsi was married in 688 BC. He fathered three children with her. And he was gruesomely poisoned to death together with his mistress in 697 BC. Camille formulated a bizarre contact poison that merged his skin together with that of the adulterous chambermaid. Stepan Taroyan was married in 697 BC. He quickly took a mistress and fled the country. And Oleh Fortich was married in 698 BC. He wasted little time in attempting to kill Camille. He failed in this, claimed that he was acting at the instigation of her family, and was poisoned to death. At his funeral, Camille proceeded to poison to death the nigh entirety of her branch of the Dilisnyas, including her father Lev, her mother Anna, her brother Richtor, her half-sister Oleska, and her half-brothers Stepan and Yakov.

When her daughter Ivana fell in love with Pieter in 709 BC, Camille was incensed that the young woman should find that which had eluded her for so many years. Camille disguised herself as Ivana and seduced her true love, then claimed that it was he who had seduced her, thereby proving in her daughter's eyes that all men were evil. Ivana took the lesson to heart, and killed Pieter by saturating her own body with a virulent poison. Two years later, she assassinated her mother and became the new ruler and Darklord of Borca.
