Personality Suspiria is quietly domineering, worldly, and unsettlingly mysterious. She knows far more than she should, and nothing at Arx Entropic seems to escape her eye. Remarkably difficult to read, she seldom shows anything more than the slightest flicker of a smile or frown. The way she regards others makes most people deeply uncomfortable: a steady, cool gaze that seems to see directly into the cloistered secrets of the mind. Capable of speaking into the minds of others, shielding her own thoughts from telepathy, and compelling others to follow her will, she's one figure that few at Arx Entropic would dare to cross.

Knowledge is the driving force behind everything she does. Her office is its own library, filled from floor to ceiling with tomes unreadable by the average human. Written language is no barrier to Suspiria, whose patron's gifts include the ability to read any text (despite her poor eyesight). Rising to leadership of the Arx library came naturally to her. The people drawn by the establishment of the Arx were filled with knowledge yet untapped, and Suspiria could use her eldritch abilities to bring in yet more. Rumours of her ability to decipher languages lost to time draws all sorts of scholars to her office, and they're usually very willing to part with their cargo in exchange for a translation.

No one is certain of what eldritch being or force Suspiria answers to, but most agree it can't be a good one. Even Suspiria isn't privy to her patron's intentions. She knows its influence can reach her through space and time, and that it has granted her knowledge and power beyond her wildest dreams - and if that kind of advantage makes her or her patron bad, then so be it.
