Sphagia

Counterpart to Geist, Sphagia is a master of potions, salves, poisons and anything injested, injected or applied for the betterment or purposeful worsening of ones health.

Background
Sphagia's mutations were crafted in a carefully controlled environment in a German compound. She was created to be a weapon against the mind. Her training and evolution centered around her mental capabilities and knowledge much more than any sort of psysical prowress.

The complex where she was bred was ruined. (It hasn't been said whether or not it was attacked during the war or whether there was an internal accident.) Most everything inside was destroyed. She would have died in the rubble but she was discovered by Geist.

The two of them escaped together, and before long had found themselves aboard a ship bound for the U.S. Months later, the ship crashed onto American soil, and the only two survivors disembarked to a new world, prepared to blot out the sun with the blood they spilled.

Present
Though quiet and somewhat anti-social, she's not the mouse she seems. Sphagia plots silently from the shadows, her flavor of attack often going unnoticed until too late. Her manipulations are often so well concocted that her involvement may often never be noticed. She doesn't require recognition for her crimes, only to know that her goals are achieved through the suffering of others.

Her mental prowress has allowed her to master the art of body language to a level far surpassing expert. She reads people as if they were speaking their secrets aloud. The faintest twitch of a muscle speaks to her as if words had been exchanged. Her knowledge is beyond simply ascertaining moods by viewing a subject, instead she can read deeper to be able to tell in an instant whether a lie was told and in fact what the truth may be beyond it. Some call her a witch, others believe she is psychic, either way, with any amount of time spent with a person, she will come to know them better than themselves. Because of this, she and Geist can communicate competely silently between each other without anyone seeing or knowing that anything was exchanged at all.

Sphagia is just as sadistic as Geist, if not more, but she is able to patiently wait and watch the slow demise of her victims instead of requiring a faster payoff. She is no stranger to pain, and instead of avoiding it, she seeks it out. Through pain and the use of various chems or her own concotions, she achieves a meditative state and believes that during these times she communes with the spirits of the universe. She has visions that she interprets and uses to guide her. These visions are often shared with Geist and the two of them have succeeded thus far in carving a bloody path to their perceived success in the wastes.
