Eve hasn’t a clue where she was born—she was found as a young child stealing food from a sleeping vagrant in the back alleys of Ascalon City. Fortunately for Eve, she was not found by a city guard but by a kindly matron, who brought her to the Holy Dwayna Academy for Wayward & Incorrigible Girls (Ascalon City branch). Wherever Eve had come from, she had already learned to read at an advanced level before she ended up at the school students called the “Wayward Academy,” and voraciously devoured every text in the library. It wasn’t long before Eve’s curiosity (and her ability to both manipulate and avoid Matron Irma) led her to a secret library in the bowels of the Academy. There, forbidden texts opened up an entirely new world to young Eve. By the time she was 15, she had raised her first bone minion.

Eve had never gotten along with the other girls—she much preferred the company of her tomes and scrolls. When, one day, a few of her fellow students pulled an especially vicious and humiliating prank on her, Eve literally pounced upon the leader of her tormentors, bit the girl’s ear off, and swallowed it whole. That was the end of Eve’s studies at the Holy Dwayna Academy for Wayward & Incorrigible Girls, and not even Matron Irma mourned her departure.

Eve met Mhenlo, Cynn, Devona, and Aidan during the Charr invasion. She was in the graveyard, experimenting with new methods of undead resurrection, when the Charr flooded into the cemetery on the heels of Mhenlo and the others. More out of curiosity than any noble intentions, Eve ordered the Charr to stop. When the beastly creatures turned on her instead, thinking her easy prey, she simply raised her hands and called forth a small army of the dead to meet them. The Charr never stood a chance. Eve was amused when Devona asked the Necromancer to join them, but has since become a good friend of Devona, Aidan, and Mhenlo. She is often in conflict with Cynn, but the two respect each other’s power enough to get along when the going gets rough.

Of all Mhenlo’s friends, Eve is probably the most independent, and it would not take much for the Necromancer to leave them behind and strike out on her own. But she is smart enough to know that loyal allies—even the living—are valuable to one with her powers. She has joined the expedition to Cantha to learn new ways to manipulate the powers of necromancy, and, she freely admits, to see what kinds of horrors might be created from Cantha’s unique species. Eve’s one constant companion is a human skull she found in the hidden library. She insists that the skull—which she calls “Adam”—speaks to her and dispenses wise advice at critical junctures. No one else has ever heard the skull say a word.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Prophecies

Towns and outposts:

"Don't look at me like that. I know what you're thinking, but you don't know me. Nobody knows me. Whatever you've heard, it's probably not true. I don't get any pleasure out of causing trouble. Well, maybe I do."

Droknar's Forge (explorable area):

"The power released at the moment the Lich died was incredible. Such a force. It was amazing."

[edit] Factions

Kaineng City towns and outposts:

"The stench of death is all over this city. I find it quite refreshing. Coming to visit here was a much better idea than I ever thought. This is my kind of place. A girl could get into all kinds of trouble around here. How delightful!

What do you want?"

Echovald Forest towns and outposts:

"I like it here. I feel at home amongst these quiet stone trees, there is a real sense of peace here in the darkness.

What did you need?"

Divine Path:

"It is time for us to move on."

[edit] Nightfall

Towns and outposts:

"Surely you don't fear children's stories? Undead armies that hunger for mortal flesh, clawing their way out of the grave with the fanatic, blind will to serve... Withered husks of desiccated zombies, shredding flesh with unrelenting, claw-like fingers... The beauty of a stilled, yet ever-screaming heart... Such things frighten you? How sad. You really need to get out more."

Throne Of Secrets

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the conquering hero. Not bad. Not bad at all."

[edit] Eye of the North

Far Shiverpeaks towns and outposts:

"I admire creatures who live in these cold mountains. Monsters everywhere, little food, and every night they go to sleep wondering if they'll freeze to death. It's not their bravery I admire... it's the constant supply of corpses."

Charr Homelands towns and outposts:

"I've always liked Ascalon's vibe. You may not like the Charr, but any gardener will tell you that ash makes things grow."

Tarnished Coast towns and outposts:

"It's not too late, Adam. Don't talk like that. Not everyone's going to die. Ssh. You wouldn't want them to. Oh, hello there. What were you saying?"

Central Transfer Chamber:

"I've asked Grenth. He says he can get me out of this. The rest of you are pretty much shafted."

Epilogue:

"Wasn't it wonderful, Adam? Oh, yes, and you, too! Don't worry. The story isn't over yet. There's still more to come... after you die."

[edit] Quotes

[edit] Prophecies

Shiverpeak Mountains:

"I don't know how anyone could live here.

"I wonder what a body looks like after being buried in snow for a few months."

"What am I doing out here? I must have lost my mind.

"Whoever named these mountains the Shiverpeaks was right on the money.

Ring of Fire Island Chain:

"I could see myself living in a place like this."

"I wonder how long someone could live after being submerged up to the neck in lava."

[edit] Factions

Kaineng City:

"Do you smell that? This city is ripe with the lovely aroma of death."

"If I get lost out here, don't come looking."

"It's about time we sent Grenth some fresh souls."

Echovald Forest:

"I feel best when I'm alone."

"It's so dead here. Simply wonderful."

"The Kurzicks are much like necromancers. Creating life where there is only death."

[edit] Nightfall

"All men dream, but not equally. Some dream by night, and find only vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous. They make their dreams come true."

"Dead bodies stay fresh longer when they're frozen. Ever been to the Shiverpeaks? Care to visit?"

"There is a time for talk and a time for action. Decide which you want, and commit to it. Peace ... or war?"

"We're not in Ascalon any more."

"You don't know me. Leave me alone."

[edit] Eye of the North

"The air is crisp. You wouldn't believe the stench of death on the Plains of Jarin. I quite enjoyed that, actually."

"Hmmm. I wonder if that body I buried a few years ago is somewhere around here. I need to check the status of its decomposition."

"I never thought I would go back to the Shiverpeaks. You'd think I'd remember to pack cold weather gear."

"I should take up a hobby to keep my hands busy during rest periods. What do you think of taxidermy?"

"Why do people view Necromancers as unclean? I mean, really, do you want dead bodies lying around all the time? We provide a valuable community service."

[edit] Battle quotes

[edit] Prophecies

"Come, let me touch you."

"I don't want you until your heart stops."

"I'm going to enjoy this."

"I'm going to make you bleed."

"Time to die."

[edit] Factions

"Grenth calls for us all. Some he just calls for earlier than others."

"I'm going to enjoy this."

"It's about time we sent Grenth some fresh souls."

"Patience is a virtue. Death a blessing."

"Take a look around. You will miss this world when you're gone."

"The envoys are waiting for you. Tell them I sent you."

"You will enjoy death. I assure you."

"You'll make a lovely corpse."

[edit] Nightfall

"Adam wants a playmate. Care to volunteer?"

"Back off, before you fall to ruin."

"Beware! your time is near!"

"Blood on the ground; Dwayna's tears."

"Death is only the first of the things you're going to do today!"

"Don't worry, I'm only going to kill you. It could be worse."

"Grenth is lonely. Let's send him some company."

"If I must fight, then I will win."

"Life is a lot like music. All songs end."

"Only a fool stands in the path of a storm."

"Rise, calamity! Break bone and shatter soul!"

"This will only hurt a lot."

"You have a beautiful bone structure."

[edit] Eye of the North

"A Necromancer a day keeps the living away."

"Do you frighten easily? Let's find out."

"Do you mind if I Hex you with something?"

"Death is only a first step."

"Death is no excuse for laziness. Fight!"

"Does the word "minion" sound evil? I'm okay with that."

"Don't be scared. You'll only be dead for a moment."

"Don't worry. If Mhenlo can't resurrect you, I will."

"Friend, foe... it makes no difference once you're dead."

"Grenth won't take you. At least not right away.

"I love the smell of undead flesh in the morning."

"Just call me Eve of Destruction."

"Now where did I leave that corpsicle?"

"Today is the first day of the rest of your death!"

"Why torment yourself? Let me do that."

[edit] Trivia

• Eve is one of the only five (the other four being Cynn, Devona, Aidan and Mhenlo) characters to appear in all 3 campaigns and the expansion.
• The combination of her and her skull Adam is clearly a reference to Adam and Eve.
• Eve uses female elementalist emotes instead of necromancer ones.
• The quote "I've asked Grenth. He says he can get me out of this. The rest of you are pretty much shafted." is possibly a reference to the movie Braveheart, where Mad Stephen says "God tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked."
