Watchtower: Thyrsus

Background

Great-Granddaughter of Arthur Pendleton, and granddaughter of Hector Pendleton. After both witch hunters were disgraced in the Portsmouth Incident of 1874, Wisteria's grandmother had to emigrate to the United States, where she gave birth to Wisteria's father, James Pendleton, who then married a local woman. Wisteria was the poisoned fruit of that union.

Showing a rather frivolous disregard for the norms of society, her parents disowned her and she was forced to live as a homeless destitute. This was when she Awakened, and became a Mage.

After spending decades honing her craft, she decided to settle in the Whispering Wood. Thanks to her mastery of Time magics, her aging greatly slowed, and with her skills in the Arcanum of Spirit, she found a niche as a neutral party, tolerated by the Maeltinet and its Bale Hounds. She even decided to strike up a sexual relationship with one of the Bale Hounds, Bloodsong. She was confronted in her hut by Quint and Charlie, and decided that she would let them decide their own fate: leave the forest, join the Maeltinet and become Bale Beasts, or destroy the Maeltinet. For Wisteria, all possibilities were advantageous from a certain perspective.
