Dowager Montagenet

Dowager Eliza Montagenet is the widow of Lord Blackblood and can be found in Ashtan. She is a renowned Necromancer and her Dorian-style mansion is staffed entirely by zombies dressed in servants' garb. She is one of the few who remember the days before Ashtan was a democracy, and many say that the arcane magics she and Lord Blackblood conjured up were instrumental in the fall of the royal family during the Anarchy Rebellions.

The Dowager Montagenet has a son, Rudolpho Montagenet, who fled home long ago to marry Camilla Prietta in Shallam. The Montagenets seem to have a long-standing rivalry with the Prietta family, as evidenced by the neglected state of the Prietta family sepulchre within Linnaen Park. During the first appearance of the Jaguars crime ring, the Dowager was hypnotised into creating gleam from the bones of orphans by a man known as Ysven who bore a striking resemblance to her son Rudolpho in his youth.
