Mytha Van Horn

Mytha Van Horn (also known as the Hyacinthian and Lobelia Lillium) is a thief, assassin, bodyguard, snappy dresser, and party drug aficionado from the Red-Gold Republic. She came to Wintercross as the city expanded and became a member of the Crescent Moon Gang, a group of criminals employed by (and largely populated by) the city's upper class families. While acting as a bouncer at a party for Wintercross' wealthy, she was devoured by the mindless god Mankos.

This wasn't her end, however. Landar Invictus used a sundial-shaped artifact to place her in a new, albeit decaying, body with the promise that, if she worked for him, he'd find a way to cure her of undeath. She then began a quest across Blackloam to gather information, including the identity of Silifrey Woods. When it became clear that Landar had no way of restoring her to life, she abandoned him and offered her help to Frey and Etmente. Frey used a magical deck of cards to cure her of her rotting state, and the Hyacinthian and Frey parted on good terms.

The Hyacinthian later hooked up with the survivors of Ambassador St. Trell's retinue and formed a criminal organization called the Circle of Friends. Although composed of bandits and other ne'er-do-wells, they were contracted by Sable Shade to hunt Falkosian spies. This organization, and the mansion in which it was headquartered, both collapsed when Silifrey Woods told the crowd that the money that would have been used to pay them didn't exist, although the collapse of Invictus Manor was due to a Void rift caused by Madeline Calondu.

The Hyacinthian was in Wintercross during the events of The Shattered City, but fled afterward.
