Alicia Darkthorne

Alicia Darkthorne, a Half-Elf Swashbuckler, is the headmaster and founder of the Darkthorne Academy of Swordsmanship, where she lives an ascetic's life. Her school emphasizes the triumph of will over style and steel over flesh.

Notoriously chaste but devastatingly beautiful, Darkthorne has not been seen in the company of a man since she left Felix & Jonathan's School of Swashbuckling and Derring-do many years ago. It is unclear if she is simply disgusted with the whole of the gender, or if she still pines for the affections of Jonathan O'Connell.

It is known, however, that she is one of the most dangerous swordswomen in the world, having fought and won more than 70 duels. Though she trained under O'Connell originally, she prefers a single blade over his paired style. However, she did apparently absorb some of Felix Donovan's style as well, as she is also known to have a wicked left hook.
