Casey’s foster mother, Elissa, is a well-built human woman that exudes an air of best-not-piss-me-off wherever she goes. She dresses as per her vocation, like one would expect of that who goes exploring in ancient tombs and sets off booby traps. Elissa has a military background, although details are scant. Now well into her 50’s, she has been in the artefact trade for decades, spending her early years with Casey’s dad as her business partner prior to his untimely demise.
Most of what she deals in are not entirely legal. The artefact trade is very lucrative within the UniSys systems, and strictly speaking, UniSys requires any person in possession of anything older than 200 years to have a permit (family heirlooms are exempted, a loophole that Elissa makes good use of). She has a stash of hidden storerooms, tunnels, and other interesting places around Fuldarnus where she keeps her more questionable wares, and a network of trusty individuals that assist in smuggling and moving things about.
