Eliza Mitchkopf

Eliza Mitchkopf, also known as Mother Eliza, is the oldest Grand Necromancer in the Aegis. Previously the Executive Office's - and the royal Dalimond spymaster - she retired long before the war, passing it on to her mentee (and to a series of their mentees) and spending her time together in the country with her husband until his passing. Childless - and barren due to a miscarriage - she moved back into the city as an unemployed noble, where she took on the care and mentoring of the children of the Executive Office, acting as a mother figure and confidant to them in their dangerous and secret lives. One such youth among them was Torrin Macalir.

Although retired she remained close with the EO and very much a part of its politics and day to day affairs. When the civil war occurred, she was forced to act as spymaster again and then was exiled with the rest. As an old woman, it was unlikely for her to survive the hardships that befell the exiles, but she defied the odds and took care of the children of the group, minding them as best she could on the road before them.

Integral to the Aegis's founding and a mentor and maternal figure to most - if not all - the necromancers, she was greatly respected by the others. That respect and appreciation is now shared by much of the Aegis, especially the New Cabal, who call her Mother.

Located in Lingerpall keep in the Heated Tundra, she is the main recruiter of the Aradothean Aegis, responsible for the people who kidnap/rescue, raise, and train children to join the Aegis. She has gone mad with her power, and there is blood on her hands - some of it the very children she loves - and her madness makes her something... other... than the human she once was.

Fortunately, her apprentices and lieutenants have taken on the duties of recruiters, so more children are taken in and fewer now face the sorrowful insanity of Eliza Mitchkopf, who would love to see her children grow up, but also would rather see them die and be raised as undead than see the suffering that comes with age. She is forced to permit children that declare that they want to be a necromancer to grow up, and, in her madness, does not regret it.

And yet, she regrets everything.

An impossibly old, elegant living human woman, her pain and sadness are almost tangible, and it is clear that they have consumed whatever speck of humanity she had left...

Politics
Eliza is very much, herself, removed from Aegis politics. Her children are, however, involved, so she usually knows whats going on.
