Arriana Colchester is known to be of Irish upper class breeding. Having a decent, but cordial relationship with her mortal parents, she enjoyed a life of privilege. Having every need and want catered to by mummy and daddy and their cadre of servants can grow weary after a time however. Arriana set out to find some real excitement to shock her from her dreary existence of facades and lies.

She found Jordan. Jordan was from the "wrong side of the tracks" and was not surprisingly, living within the poverty stricken section of town. But it never bothered him. Arriana saw what she could never have; love without money. Her father, who had been away on business for a year, returned sick and unable to keep down food, or walk during the hot summer days, let alone leave his chambers.

As the demand of a sick noble is taken deathly seriously, Jordan was in fact banned from ever seeing Arriana on pain of death. She was heartbroken and wept for weeks.

Many years passed, and one night in the study, her sickly, pale father approached her. That night she was made kindred, and has remained thus ever since.

She has hidden her pain well behind the calm, bemused veneer of the Keeper of Elysium. A position she has served faithfully for the better part of eighty years.

It had all been working well. Until the Black hand launched a desperate attack on the kindred of the city. What Arriana did not know was that her lover, Jordan, had been embraced. And he was used against her as a weapon, to weaken her defenses. In a final attempt to driver her over the edge, he was crucified, and Thaumaturgically sent to the final death. His body was displayed in its blasphemous fashion in the previously populated Elysium.

Arriana has since recovered, and holds her position with a renewed vigor and sense of duty then ever before. The Black Hand’s attempt to dismantle her psyche, has only strengthened her resolve. She has gained back her accolades from the court since that time, and now holds the same amount of status she enjoyed many years ago. She and the Harpy control equal status, although Arriana believes that to be totally undeserved.
