Magister Gleba

''This pretty young woman carries herself with the airs of someone well-bred and educated. Despite this she lacks the confidence of one born to lead. Golden locks braided and coiled into a bun and clear brown eyes compliment her soft milky skin. Soft black robes trimmed with gold silk rustle quietly as she walks and a pair of reading glasses are pushed back on her head. At the her shoulder is clasped a golden brooch identifying her as a senior magister of Thorn.''

Magister Gleba was born Lady Gleba Orlovsky, the younger daughter of an Orlovsky nobleman, with little prospects for her future other than to be married off in the name of business or politics. Despite her beauty, her bookish ways and interest in scholarly pursuits did not make her a good match in the eyes of her suitors. Neither did her dim views on the lot of womenfolk in Brevoy.

When word of the Domain of Thorn reached her in the summer of 4711AR, Gleba packed her bag and travelled south with one of the wave of settlers headed to the Domain. When she arrived at Stagshelm it didn't take her long to learn of the Magisters, it took an even shorter time for her to decide that a future of scholastic pursuit was far preferable to being married off. She sent word back to her family of her intentions and promptly joined the Magisters, surrendering her title and any claims of inheritance in favour of dedicating her life to a fledgling nation.

In the winter of 4712AR the Stagshelm Library was constructed and Gleba was appointed to the role of Chief Librarian by the Grand Magister who considerd her attention to detail and expansive academic knowledge perfect for the role.
