Safiye

Although Safiye has many many people in her employ, there are a few that stand out. Anyone who associates with Safiye is likely to meet these characters, too.

Alexandria:
The head servant of Safiye's household. She oversees the manor at all times to ensure that everything runs smoothly, the kitchens are always appropriately stocked, the house is clean, the guards are doing their jobs, guests are being entertained. When necessary, she is also capable of running the affairs of Safiye's larger holdings, which includes organizing farmers to make certain the harvests are completed on schedule, taxes are being collected thoroughly and fairly, public festivals are planned and executed at the correct times, merchants are being financed and dispatched on appropriate trade routes. Loyal and highly competent, Alexandria is without doubt Safiye's most prized servant, and a personal friend.

Since the birth of Safiye's daughter, Aria, a great deal of Alexandria's time has been occupied in helping to raise the girl.

Alexandria is now fairly elderly, and beginning to have difficulties keeping up with all her duties. Knowing that she will soon need to retire her position, she is in the process of training a replacement for herself, Bathilde.

The Eunuch:
Average height, brown hair, tan, a runner's build. Dressed only in a white pleated cloth around his waist, reminiscent of an Egyptian slave, and a short sword on either hip. There is something very disturbing about this man. When he opens his mouth, it is apparent that his tongue has been cut out; when he vocalizes, clear that his vocal cords are missing or snapped; and from the way he behaves, obvious that his ear drums have been destroyed. He can neither hear nor speak his Lady's secrets.
