Thissa

Master Thissa Antiquarian of the Scholar Guild is the eldest Ebenblade sister, and primary antagonist of the Ebenstar Trilogy. We meet her in Book One.

She left her familial estate of Ebenhome after the deaths of her parents and Zoë's departure, where she became a scholar. Outwardly, she is trying to complete a full compendium of magical items within the world; secretly (at least as far as Zoë knows) she is seeking Ebenstar, a power trazar and family heirloom. She has hired Dalthyr to help her with this task.

Beyond being a high ranking scholar stationed in Brakule, she also secretly knows magic. With that and her natural ability to manipulate people, she can bend most people to her will.

Skills/Profession:

Besides being a high-ranking scholar, she is a master at manipulation and seduction.

She also illicitly knows magic, without having been trained, or known by the Mage Guild. Zoë believes she taught herself magic from the familial library at Ebenhome. Her known magical talents include: dreamwalking, farseeing, the assumption of glamours, and subjuturgy.

She is 29 at the start of the trilogy.

Physical Description:

Thissa is beautiful, with long, luscious blonde hair and eyes of the deepest azure blue. While she typically wears the grey robes of a scholar, they are well fitted to her form.

She shares a family resemblance to her two sisters, Zoë and Tanyl.
