Lhora Craft^[1d]

A renowned "Archeotechnologist" in Necromunda's underhive, Lhora Craft is known among traders as first rate finder of lost archeotech in the underhive.^[1]

History

Born to a wealthy noble family as the daughter of Count Augustus Craft, Lhora displayed a rebellious streak in her youth against her harsh father. She spent much of her younger years confining herself to her chambers, studying and developing a fascination of the mysteries of technology and the spiritual religion surrounding it. Lhora grew tired of the lavish decadence of noble life and once she came of age she quietly escaped her noble house. She now lives in the underhive, keeping her noble identity a secret, making her living off selling rediscovered archeotech ^[1a]. Occasionally, she finds employment as a hired gun for various underhive gangs on Necromunda on missions where there is the prospect of loot and technology to acquire, though she refuses to work with Spryer Hunters, Scavvies, Redemptionists, and Cawdor gangs ^[1b]

Appearance and Abilities

Despite its outwardly thin appearance, Lhora's outfit contain many hidden pockets which allow her to deftly switch through various weapons in combat. She is proficient in any weapon that can be found in the underhives of Necromunda, and is known to carry a Necron pistol weapon as well as a variety of Master-crafted weapons. She is a deftly agile person and able to make significant leaps for a baseline human.^[1c]
