Where the southern troublemakers and ruffians came from  is often known only to themselves. Brigands, exiles, refugees, and sellswords alike joining Sharkey for the coin and chance at something better. Some looking for good land to live and farm and others looking to burn and loot. 

Annaliesa and her older brother Elluf were born to the life of a semi nomadic existence. parents who moved frequently. Her father was a raider, often gone until his children grew old enough to go with him. Raised haphazardly without schooling, she is illiterate and is not even sure when she was born. Her skill is survival, any means necessary, and she is  determined to put some coin in her pocket.

Her brother signed them and their band of brigands up to serve Sharkey, the mysterious benefactor bent on dominating the Shire and Breeland. While locals work subtly, she is part of the group that has burned and pillaged farms and homesteads. It is not until some of her men were killed in a most gruesome fashion and the rumor of a Bree defense being put together took her to the town, in disguise of a simple refugee. It was there she met her contact and the local commander Ildrand Berrywine who lived undercover as a loan shark. With his support she is investigating the strength of the Bree Defense and the man who the brigands call The Tree Man, Billium Cutting. 

Update: She has attempted to to kill Bill but he survived and Ildrand has left for a summons from the south, leaving her in charge of the local southern raiders that are occupying some of the farms. With Ildrand gone, she now has to have a cover and has told Sylgmar she was left to oversee the farms and provide muscle if someone is not wanting to repay their loan.

After long months running with Wulf and his failed uprising, turning away from his increasing madness she fled Breeland at the suggestion of her friend Crow. With his guidance and gift of coin and supplies she went north and east, into the Dalelands.
