Lady Jane Bowden is a Technocrat barabbi who runs Bron Methlyn in Wales.
Overview[]
Lady Jane grew up bored and spoiled. Packed off to boarding school at age six, she would have no doubt grown up to be just like her useless parents, except that she attracted the attention of the headmaster when she turned 13. At first, their affair was simple; then he revealed his dabbling in the occult. Lady Jane was fascinated. Here was a chance to explore the real wielding of power, so different from the hollow trappings of her parents. She became an acolyte in the headmaster's infernalist cult, then Awakened during her first blood sacrifice. She rose to leadership in the cult, simultaneously leading a double life as a dilettante. At a spring society ball, Lady Jane met Sir Mortimer Evans, who recruited her into the Harbingers of Avalon. Needless to say, he had no idea she was a barabbi. After she was exposed, Lady Jane drew on hidden funds to establish a new identity. She aches to betray the Harbingers to Tradition mages or zealots within the Technocracy; at this point. Lady Jane is just waiting for the right time to pounce.

In her early 20s, Lady Jane is exquisitely beautiful. She is 5'6" tall with long, honey-colored hair and warm brown eyes. Her clothes are simple and elegant: black dresses, flowing skirts, tailored blazers and shapely pumps. When engaging in her nastier activities, Lady Jane wears form-fitted black leather or nothing at all.
Personal[]
Jane act like the perfect young English noblewoman, with perfect enunciation and charming manners. Inside, she seethes with corruption. She is a mass of foulness that wants to destroy and maim everything around her.
Bron Methlyn[]
Bron Methlyn, an attractive Victorian bed and breakfast in the Wye Valley, looks quite normal at first glance. It has five pleasant bedrooms with four-posters, a dining room, and a small herb garden. Here, appearances are both deceiving and damning.
Lady Jane Bowden, a former Harbinger of Avalon turned barabbi, is the new owner of Bron Methlyn. Using a pseudonym, she advertises Bron Methlyn in singles magazines as a place to make new friends. In reality, it's a dominatrix' dream. The posts on the beds conceal a myriad of barbed hooks and ties for bondage, and in the basement is Lady Jane's dungeon of horrors. She has a variety of torture implements, including hot pincers, mind-altering drugs, scalpels, a rack, and numerous whips and flails. Lady Jane is a skilled expert; she can keep a client in agony for days while she corrupts his or her mind and body. Her cruelest trick is making her victims beg not for release but for more torture, turning curious innocents into slavering masochists. Her former allies in the Technocracy and any Tradition mages would leap at the chance to end Lady Jane's reign of terror.
