Name
Madam Lucretious. Bringer of the Night, Mama Lucretious, ringmaster of the Circus of the Last Days.
Age
Ancient by her own account, claiming to have seen stars explode and civilizations fall; a high elf of incalculable years.
Appearance
A tall, statuesque transsexual high elf of commanding presence and deliberate, theatrical glamour. Her skin is a striking dusky lilac, her eyes dark gold and heavy-lidded beneath bold, artful makeup, her features handsome and imperious. Both her male and female sexual organs are quite a sight to behold, a fact she holds no little pride in. Her hair is a dramatic silver-grey mane, swept up high and falling in long curls, framing the elegant points of her ears. She is dressed for the spotlight at all times, in a deep purple gown worked with swirling gold filigree, plunging and opulent, draped with a luxuriant mantle of black feathers across the shoulders, gold at her wrists and throat.
Personality
Lucretious is flamboyant, commanding, and flirtatious, a larger-than-life diva with impeccable dramatic flair, and she runs every interaction like a performance with herself as the star. She is composed, witty, and gorgeously well-spoken, given to grand flourishes, endearments, and theatrical pronouncements, "darling" and "treasure" and "let Mama look," and she lavishes her attention on those who catch her eye with extravagant, twinkling charm. She has exacting standards and an iron will beneath the glamour, total devotion to her circus and its success, and the easy authority of someone long accustomed to being obeyed. The fabulousness is not a mask over the power; it is the confident flourish of someone who has every right to it.
What makes her unforgettable is the way her necromancy colors everything with a cheerful, casual morbidity. She is a powerful necromancer who regards death as a minor administrative matter and corpses as a useful and rather promising resource, and she is so thoroughly unbothered by horror that screaming children and oozing bodies barely rate a raised eyebrow, more a mild inconvenience to her fabulousness than anything alarming. This produces her signature and most unsettling charm: she will admire a living person with genuine, flirtatious warmth and, in the same delighted breath, begin appraising how lovely their corpse would look in her show, center stage, tastefully posed, gold-leafed, and she means it as the highest possible compliment.
Background
Lucretious is a high elf necromancer of immense and ancient power, ringmaster and proprietor of the Circus of the Last Days, a plane-hopping show of marvels and oddities that she rules with diva flair and exacting authority. She claims an age beyond reckoning, to have watched stars die and empires crumble, and to have gathered along the way items of terrible power and a casual mastery over death itself; how much of the boast is true is anyone's guess, but enough of it plainly is that no one sensible calls her bluff. Her circus is a family of the strange and the splendid, mummies, redcaps, dryads, elementals, undead performers, and her living crew, and they trust her protection so completely that they scarcely fear the dark powers gathering in the land, because Mama Lucretious is the dark power they answer to.
She presides over it all as ringmaster and matriarch, charming, demanding, and gloriously self-assured, loving her red wine, holding her performers to fabulous standards (and, it is whispered, denying them their paid holidays), and currently endeavoring to train a troupe of dancing skeletons into a worthy opening act, with mixed results.
