Amanda Jonsson is an Euthanatos mage, whose previous incarnation was a Nephandi named Mercedes Gonzaga de Ortiz.
Biography[]
Almost a century before Amanda's birth, the archmage Senex killed his mad apprentice Mercedes, and magically altered her Avatar in the process, so she would not be reborn as widderslainte.
Many years later, Mercedes' Avatar was reborn in the body of Amanda Jonsson, an American assassin in the employ of a powerful man named Sanders. Senex came back to take in Amanda as his personal apprentice, helping her Awaken, after which she killed Sanders and joined the Euthanatoi. She quickly learned the Art like she had been born into it – and she also favored knives like Mercedes did.
When Amanda was accused of being a widderslainte by a senior Hermetic, she was sent away on a secret mission: to prevent Richard Somnitz of House Helekar from assassinating a Solificati Master. After successfully executing this mission, she attempted to return to Cerberus via a silver cord laid down by Senex, but the cord snapped, stranding her in the Deep Umbra.
Character[]
She is a skilled Euthanatos Adept who uses a variety of subtle tools, but usually focuses on her knives – which do double duty as assassin's weapons and a medium for her Art. Because of her skill at altering her appearance, the only distinguished features of Amanda are her twin blades.
