The Knife is all manic energy. Chaotic, Vicious, Cunning, and Merciless. She lives short brutal lives with trails of blood wherever she walked. She has killed most of the Archetypes at one point, often betrays her allies if it benefits her, and has sown discord, hatred, and distrust among cultures of men. The Knife is as beautiful and charming on the outside as she is ugly on the inside. Able to blend in with more common people she blends in, manipulates, and turns neighbors, friends, and family against each other. She led the persecution and enslavement of the Gallus people, caused the purges of the Klemant from Freia, the burning of Kaidrona, and has led many good men to ruin and then death.
The Knife’s Ring of Power grants the wearer the Power to appear as unimportant, difficult to acknowledge, and socially invisible though one feels empty, unconnected, and numb while wearing it. She wields a collection of knives each marked with a rusty scar for every mortal life she has taken or at least ruined. She is cunning, highly intelligent, and while not the most capable in combat is a vicious suicidally aggressive fighter with knives, punching daggers, throwing knives, and poisons. She is an extremely dangerous foe who is always willing to die to take another Archetype or a hero with her. She often forsakes her identity making her own normally a title or a false name when hiding her nature.
The Knife is always beautiful, charming, and capable of carrying herself with the bearing of beggar to empress. She is difficult to pin down as she sheds scars and marks. She has a strange fascination of both love and hate of her fellow Archetypes and is often drawn to reincarnate near another Archetype. The Knife gains her immortal memories when she first inflicts pain on a living being.
