Kangir is a ruthless mercenary who shrugs off any punishment while skewering foes near and far with her trident. Despite her heavy armor, she's sneaky and subtle when it suits her.

Left with only a Gozran holy symbol and a few coins after her parents' deaths at sea, Kangir grew up on Absalom's streets. Her cunning and local knowledge made her a favorite guide for merchants and pilgrims-so much so that the Bloody Barbers thieves guild recruited her to lead hapless travelers into alleys and ambushes. With the Barbers, Kangir developed a taste for violence and brigandry that launched her career as a mercenary, and she's traveled the Inner Sea to serve countless scoundrels. Last month, she returned to Absalom and burgled one minor politician's office and abducted a Petal District dignitary, all at the behest of an anonymous patron who then, rather than sending the promised payment, tried to have her killed! The job's moral implications didn't bother Kangir (she's done far worse), but she doesn't suffer betrayal. After interrogating and killing the hapless cutthroat, Kangir now knows her mysterious patron's identity: Doatara Kelorbeyan, a noblewoman who lives in the Petal District. Conveniently, three Red Mantis assassins are also after Doatara, and Kangir's joined forces with them to get her revenge!

Eteleon and Yacob: Kangir doesn't know these two except by the Red Mantis' reputation-professional, lethal, and unlikely to betray her.

Zeah: When a wetwork job in the port city of Manaket went wrong years ago, Kangir found herself on the run from Rahadoumi law enforcement-led by the young detective Zeah. Kangir narrowly escaped justice. She's fascinated by and supportive of Zeah's transformation into a cold killer.
