Alba

Alba is the High Scribe of the Citadel, and is the highest authority among them. This soft-spoken, pale woman has devoted her life to learning, specifically, the history and knowledge of the long-gone Priest-kings.

History
The history of Alba is not known to many, as she commonly does not talk about her life before her exile. What little has been divulged is that she hails from Aquilonia, that she is a devout Mitraen, but that she chose a path of learning over the clergy. Her reason for exile is not known.

Alba has focused almost entirely on finding and deciphering the writings of the Priest-kings, who inhabited the Exiled Lands long ago. She rarely travels into the Forbidden City herself, preferring to instead pay for items and scrolls extracted from that place, to aid in her research.

Appearance
Alba stands tall and lanky, and her features are androgynous, with a well-defined nose and high cheekbones. Her skin is extremely pale, her eyes are a pinkish blue hue, and her hair, brows and lashes are white.

Alba is never seen not wearing the white-and-gold silk garb of the Scribes. When venturing outside, she always wears a hood or a cowl over her head to protect from the sun.

Personality
Alba is friendly but aloof, and prefers to keep a measure of distance from outsiders, both physically and socially. She treats all with equal respect, even the so-called savages and heretics to her faith.
