	In spite of being [[Mordentish]], Lia displayed a frank dislike of the faith of [[Ezra]] that shocked fellow Expedition member [[Charles Martel]].

	Although she was prone to wearing the holy symbols of [[Andral]], [[the Morninglord]] and [[Ra]] (and even wrote a book and published about the possible historic relation between these solar deities later), Lia prayed to what she called the Heart Beyond. Unaware of the [[Fraternity of Shadows]]' doctrines until these were revealed to her by [[Andre Theroux]], Lia already believed most of her world was mired in misconception and delusion, and thus theorized that ~~the~~ divine must lie ''beyond''. Her faith never seems to have been strong enough to start a religious movement or even endow her with [[divine magic]], however.

	In order to get beyond Algernon's reach and attain a measure of protection, Lia had herself enrolled in finishing school in [[Dementlieu]], and later the [[University of Dementlieu]], where she pursued a double degree in [[Archaeology]] and [[History]]. Although Algernon had always forbidden her to study the subject, Lia found herself as fascinated by magic as her father, and initially attended a few classes at the [[Department of Arcane Sciences]] out of curiosity. To her own surprise, she turned out to have a talent for the subject. Though initially torn between [[fear]] and [[temptation]], Lia gave in to her longing for actual power, and enrolled in additional classes. When her tutors expressed concern for the heavy course load, Lia assured them she could handle it, privately reflecting that she already had no social life worth speaking of.

	More than a little paranoid due to her upbringing and initially reluctant, even afraid to reveal the extent of her magical powers to the other members of tbe Expedition, Lia gradually opened up as events forced her to act. Unfortunately, one of the things that came through the newly opened door was long-repressed rage over the unfairness of her fate, as well ~~ss the~~ suffering of others. Combined with what some called self-righteousness, when Lia truly had the best intentions and resented the accusation, this led to several in-party arguments, especially with the [[Har'Akir]]-born, [[Sri Raji \| Rajian]] [[Cleric]], [[Kuzan]].

In her drive to do good and fight evil, she did make regrettable mistakes, acting without having informed her teammates.

	Born into the '''Mourneswaith''' family of [[Mordent]], Lia is the eldest child of her father [[Algernon Mourneswaith]] and her unnamed mother, and as such the legal heiress to both a thriving brewery and distillery business, as well as a dubious blood relation to the [[Mournesworth]] family.

	Tragically, Algernon was a largely untalented dabbler in [[arcane magic]], who cooked up the theory that exposing his unborn child to enhancing [[spells]] while still in the womb would ensure she would be born as a mentally and physically superior specimen. The effect of his bombarding his wife's womb with magic was, however, the birth of a [[caliban]] -- as any true [[Mage]] could have warned him.

	Although trained in the use of firearms, Lia's strongest weapon by far was [[arcane magic]].

''Orb of Force'' and ''Magic Missile''.		Although trained in the use of firearms, Lia's strongest weapon by far was [[arcane magic]].

	In addition to offensive evocations, Lia was proficient in defensive Abjurations and Transmutations, and the [[Necromancy]]-spells ''False Life'' and ''Greater False Life''. She also valued spells like ''Mass Fly'' and ''Haste'' to benefit the whole group. A weak melee combatant, her best placing was at a reasonable distance from the ~~figbt~~, typically airborne and hurling spells.
