Sue was a slave who was killed during an escape attempt.
As a wraith, she became an Anacreon for the Legion of Paupers of the Atlanta Necropolis.
History[]
Sue was born into slavery and lived and died a slave. She was killed the second time she tried to escape, but she does not remember just what killed her. She suspects it was a bear, but is not certain. Sue was raised in the beliefs of her ancestors and defies to this day the Christian ways, arguing vehemently against them. For understandable reasons, Sue loathes the very idea of slavery, and refuses to don the chains of office. Despite all these differences of opinion, Sue realizes the need for system and structure to keep things running smoothly. She views the recent trend in favor of calling slavery "feudalism" patently offensive, insisting that change can not come by placating a few people with soothing words. Still, in spite of all her revolutionary talk, she supports the system of the Hierarchy, if not all of its principles. She looks to protect the fragile relations with the Kingdom of Ivory to assist them in growing, lest an asinine remark from one of the racists jeopardize potential ties.
Sue doesn't take crap from anyone. The last thing in the world she wants is an easy day. There's too damned much to fix. Anyone tries to give her grief, she knocks them down and shows them what death's all about. Also, racism in any form is likely to start her swinging her fists. She suffered enough racism in her time, and she doesn't take well to it, not from anyone or about any race.
Sue never tolerates second best, and she has made a point of ensuring that her Legion takes recruiting new Enfants as a sacred mission. The Legion of Paupers can claim anyone who died under mysterious circumstances and, as a result of their claim, are often at odds with the other factions within the Hierarchy. The Legion of the Grim lays claim to all who died violent deaths, but Sue and her Legion of Paupers may also lay claim if the victims do not know how they were murdered or by whom. Sue takes full advantage of this option whenever possible and often wins the debate by wooing the new Enfants with promises of assistance in finding their murderers. David Duvalier is a perfect example of how well Sue keeps her promises. He was informed within days of his Caul's removal that his third fiancee was responsible for his murder. As a result of Sue's efficiency, she gathers a great deal of loyalty from those under her. The same methods work well in gathering numbers that should have rightly gone over to the other legions as well. While Sue does not condone the use of chains, she is not above marking a Enfant as hers. If an Enfant proves ineffectual or useless, Sue often resorts to discorporation. She will not surrender what is hers, despite her claims that slavery is not permitted in her Legion.

Sue looks as she did on the day she was married at the age of 14. Her wild mane of hair is pinned in place, and she wears a pure white dress. Her skin is ebony, her hair is black and her eyes are dark brown. Her wrists and ankles bear the marks of the chains that cut her when she was captured after running away.
