Aurelia is a statuesque drow woman with obsidian skin, long white hair braided with silver spider charms, and vivid violet eyes. Her elegant scale mail is lacquered black and trimmed in crimson silk, bearing the eight-legged sigil of House Malice. She carries a polished mace, a shield embossed with a spiderweb, and a slender house rapier that she calls her sabre. A living black spider usually rests on her shoulder or hides within her hair.

Aurelia is poised, observant, and intensely self-controlled. She treats every conversation as an interrogation and every kindness as a possible maneuver. Beneath her polished confidence is a fervent need to prove that her devotion is stronger than her ambition, though she has difficulty distinguishing the two.

Aurelia Malice was born beneath the jeweled towers of Menzoberranzan, the third daughter of a minor but ambitious branch of House Malice. From infancy, she was presented to Lolth in ceremonies that treated devotion as both inheritance and weapon. While other children learned to flatter matrons and conceal their ambitions, Aurelia learned to listen for blasphemy in a trembling voice, a missed bow, or a prayer spoken with insufficient conviction. Her first true revelation came when a spider descended into her cradle and remained there through the night. The priestesses called it an omen. Aurelia understood it as an appointment. Rather than pursue the expected path of a warrior or wizard, Aurelia entered the clergy as an inquisitorial acolyte. She developed a talent for drawing secrets from suspects, combining graceful conversation, veiled threats, and sudden flashes of divine power. Her spiders serve as silent witnesses, slipping beneath doors and into private chambers to expose forbidden meetings and whispered dissent. Aurelia believes every investigation is a sacred hunt, and every confession is a thread leading back to Lolth's greater web. She now travels beyond her house's immediate territory to identify heresy, cultivate useful alliances, and destroy anyone whose faith threatens the Spider Queen's design.
