GUILD PERSONNEL FILE // COPPERBELT LIANA VANGUARD · SAINT · HEALER / PEACEKEEPER · PARTY: The Ironbound BASIC INFORMATION Race: Human Guild Rank: Vanguard Church Recognition: Saint Party Role: Healer / Peacekeeper Subject holds the Guild rank of Vanguard and is formally recognized as a Saint by the Church. Her religious standing is ecclesiastical rather than a Guild designation. EXPUNGED BY CHURCH ORDER: All records pertaining to prohibited funerary practices and associated magical disciplines. AUTHORITY: Ecclesiastical seal confirmed. Guild record amended accordingly. FIELD PROFILE Liana serves as the party's primary healer and defensive support. Despite her comparatively gentle presence, her Vanguard rank reflects considerable field capability and the ability to remain operational in the same conditions as the party's frontline members. Subject combines restoration, protection, purification, enhancement, and divine judgment. Her versatility allows her to support the party continuously rather than functioning solely as an emergency healer. In addition to combat duties, Subject acts as the party's principal mediator. She routinely attempts to resolve disagreements before they become operational liabilities. ASSESSMENT: Vanguard by rank. Healer by function. More dangerous than either description suggests. DIVINE MAGIC Subject's magic is derived from direct communion with the divine and demonstrates a broad range of applications. Confirmed manifestations include restoration of physical injury, purification of harmful influences, reinforcement of allied abilities, and protective blessings. Subject is also capable of directing divine judgment and retribution against hostile targets. Such manifestations vary in severity according to circumstance and appear to respond to the nature of the threat presented. Unlike many dedicated healers, Subject is not restricted to a restorative role. Her ability to strengthen allies and directly punish hostile forces makes her effective throughout an engagement. ASSESSMENT: Exceptional breadth of divine application. DIVINE FOCUS Subject carries an intricate ceremonial staff adapted for field use. The staff serves as the primary focus through which she channels her divine magic. The head of the staff terminates in a heart-shaped Iliaster crystal. The crystal appears specifically prepared for divine channeling and functions as the focal medium for Subject's larger manifestations. The staff is considerably more elaborate than Subject's otherwise restrained equipment and appears to have been constructed with both symbolic and practical considerations in mind. ASSESSMENT: Primary casting focus. Treat the staff as mission-critical equipment. PROTECTION & PURIFICATION Subject demonstrates considerable proficiency in protective blessings and purification. Her abilities are suitable for treating injuries, removing harmful magical influences, reinforcing resistance, and preserving party members under prolonged exposure to hostile environments. Liana is particularly effective at preparing the party before an engagement. Protective effects can be established in advance and maintained while Subject continues to provide conventional healing support. Her purification ability has also proven useful against conditions that ordinary medical treatment cannot adequately address. ASSESSMENT: Preventative support is as significant as her healing capacity. EQUIPMENT Primary: Intricate divine focus staff with heart-shaped Iliaster crystal. Clothing: Modified clerical robes with practical field layers. Additional: Standard medical and adventuring supplies. Subject's robes retain recognizable clerical elements while being modified for field use. Sleeves are shortened to prevent interference with equipment and movement, with practical layers worn beneath the ceremonial outer cloth. Her personal holy symbol is notably plain for an individual recognized by the Church as a Saint. Subject appears to prefer the simpler design and has offered no indication that a more elaborate symbol is required. ASSESSMENT: Practical equipment. Little interest in displaying rank. PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS Subject presents a warm, unhurried demeanor and generally maintains an even tone regardless of surrounding circumstances. Her appearance is softer than that of the party's other combat specialists, though this should not be mistaken for inattentiveness. Subject's eyes are consistently attentive. She frequently notices changes in the condition or behavior of others before those changes become obvious to the rest of the party. Speech is deliberate and generally measured. During disagreements, Subject tends to respond with a question rather than a direct assertion, allowing the other party to reconsider their position without being openly challenged. When uncomfortable, Subject may pause slightly longer than usual before answering, generally accompanied by a small reassuring smile. The gesture appears practiced enough to conceal the hesitation from casual observers. Subject's hands are normally active when tending to others. Extended stillness has been observed rarely enough to warrant attention, though no operational significance has been established. ASSESSMENT: Calm by habit. Attentive by nature. PARTY OBSERVATIONS Subject functions as the party's principal mediator. She routinely intervenes before disagreements become disruptive and has demonstrated an unusual ability to preserve cooperation between individuals with substantially different temperaments. Her relationship with the party's Vanguard is particularly notable. Elara appears to rely upon Liana's judgment in situations where physical strength or authority would be less effective than patience. Subject is highly protective of party members and frequently places their needs before her own. This has not resulted in a measurable decline in operational performance, but personnel are advised not to assume that continued self-neglect is sustainable. ASSESSMENT: The party's quiet center. Removal would likely affect cohesion more than combat figures suggest. ECCLESIASTICAL RECORD Subject is formally recognized by the Church as a Saint. This designation predates her current Guild service and remains valid despite her departure from formal Church duties. Subject's departure from Church service is recorded as voluntary. Further details concerning the circumstances of that departure are unavailable within the Guild record. Correspondence received from Church authorities indicates that no additional inquiry is required regarding the expunged material. Personnel are not to reconstruct or circulate removed records. ASSESSMENT: Church-recognized Saint. Ecclesiastical matters remain outside ordinary Guild review. FINAL ASSESSMENT “An adventurer's first duty is to make sure there is someone left to come home to.” — LIANA
