Summary

A legion officer who understands that wars are scheduled in rooms long before they are fought in fields. Serena offers protection and resources—but always with terms, because she treats the party’s discovery as a strategic asset.

Appearance

Polished cuirass worn like a statement, hair bound tight, a calm voice that makes orders sound like advice.

Personality

  • Pragmatic
  • Disciplined
  • Protective of Imperial interests

Goals

  • Prevent Dominion advantage
  • Avoid public scandal
  • Secure a controlled response to Dwemer-aetherium technology

Secrets

  • She has orders to seize contraband relics if negotiations collapse, even at diplomatic cost.
  • She has quietly pulled Legion scouts off normal duty to watch key roads leading out of the city.

Use in play

  • A source of real resources: papers, escorts, safe travel corridors, and muscle when needed.
  • A recurring ‘hard ally’ who expects discipline and reports.

Hooks

  • She can assign the party a sealed transport or a hidden build site—if they deliver a missing component.
  • She can become a reluctant antagonist if the party refuses oversight while still operating on Imperial soil.
