The Vulture
Korina rem Voltur Voltanescu
Mercenary, Sniper, Information Broker, A Woman without a Cause.
Long live the Black Wolf, the Black Wolf is Dead
Words Korina rem Voltur lived and died by, and words Korina Voltanescu the Garlean expatriate was born with. A tall, thin woman with raven black hair and eyes of ice, she makes her living as a mercenary, and information broker. Not too far from the life she lived as the Vulture, sniper for the empire, but without nearly as much conviction nor any true drive. Gil doesn’t hold the same loyalty as her belief in Gaius van Baelsar did.
Korina was born into the empire, the only child of a staunchly loyal family that believed the empire had erred, and thus threw it’s log in with the Populares. They didn’t last long, killed by their fellows and political rivals when she was but a child of 13. She wasted away then really, not sure who or what she was or what she was meant to do,handed from ward to ward till all that changed when she enlisted with the empire. There, hearing her commander's words of inspiration and seeing the determination in the eyes of the then Tribunus Baelsar, she found her cause. Serving him from the XIth Legion to the XIVth (with only a short separation in service in the VIIth) as a terrifying sharp shooter and assassin up until his apparent demise.
But that's a fiction, yes? Korina rem Voltur died long ago, Korina Voltanescu doesn’t know who you speak of when you say that rank and title. The Vulture perished and Korina is just from a small village where her two parents had fled to long ago. Her accent is strange but she’s not from around here after all. And the third eye doesn’t exist (Tis’ well hidden, she fears magic but... glamours have their usage) or is just a tragic reminder of the terrible land she fled. She learned to shoot taking pot shots at cans on a farm that didn’t exist. And now finds herself selling her skills for coin and wandering from place to place.
A drift.
Again.

Info!
Korina is on Coeurl on the Crystal Data Center of FFXIV. I, on the other hand, am located on the EST data center of real life. Hi! I’m Alex and I’m 23 as of the writing of this, I use She/Her, He/Him and They/Them pronouns and I’m a lover of all things lore in video games. Thank you for reading my page! I’m chill with all walk ups and random tells, though I prefer tells so the sound can alert me. Feel free to hit me up on Discord if you want to plot! Though as I work a full time job my response time is uh abysmal. I apologize in advance!

Valuable Assets
Korina sees people as little more than tools, but she is well aware that tools can be used more than once especially if they are quality. These souls listed are those she’s had the chance to determine if they interest her or not. If you are not listed here, but we’ve interacted a bit, Korina may need more information before she judges your quality or not.
Friends
Aveline Bontensont: The miqo’te healer is the only reason the Garlean survived the explosion in Northern Thanalan. And for that Korina owes her a life debt that she will see paid. In protection, and information. Lux Varago will not lay a hand upon her.
Kingsley Solomon: A friend of a friend, Kingsley has proven himself to possess an elusive quality. That of being “interesting” in the eyes of the Garlean. Exactly what about him makes him so is something she won’t say, but she’s taken him in as much as a friend as someone like she is capable of doing so. And together, they seek answers on a strange puzzle that may give her some answers about what happened to her during her time in the 7th.
Known Souls
Danica Voss: Another friend of a friend, this woman is... well... Korina tries her best not to slip into the pureblooded habit of referring to her as a Savage but her brutality and focus on martial combat and might does remind her of the drastic differences in their own culture. Still, she has something almost like respect for the woman, few could face what she has and still come out smiling.
Aeric Laudrup: Danica’s fiance and a former Heretic turned a fellow in her field. Korina finds his noble act so dreadfully boring, but can’t help but find it fun to throw spanners into he and his fiancee life on occasion. Such as sending their lost friend and cousin their way half starved and with no memory.
Eloise Havran:A Viera Lich who Korina is in the process of seeking out, even if it seems the woman herself has no desire to meet with her. If anyone can put the pieces of her memory back into place, it is her.
Alexois de Dzemael/ Alexander de Corneille: A strange, amnesiac Elezen that Korina knows to be the animated corpse of a Dzemael lordling, as well as the servant of the lich she seeks. She enjoys toying with his naivety, as boring as he can be sometimes.
Enemies
Alice lux Varago: A black hearted fiend that through her life debt Korina has sworn to end. The garlean scientist’s days are numbered, even after her defection to Eorzea. The Alliance knows not her crimes.
People on the Cusp of Being Interesting
Saulden Windgate: An expatriate more skittish than a church mouse who, through his requests and... something else has managed to gather Korina’s interest. Kind of. She’s not sure why, but she has decided to take he and Marius’ cause as her own. And it’s not just because their target is a pathetic little man.
