Niss
Archetype: ArcanistElusive master of shadows, manipulating gloom to destroy her foes while darting around the battlefield.
Niss is one of the sinister fey known as the Eldren. She and her clan rejected the Precursors, and now she is hunted by her own people. A deadly assassin wielding powers over shadow, she has joined forces with the Seekers so she can take vengeance on the Precursors.
As an Arcanist, Niss can unleash devastating attacks but relies on her speed and the shadows to evade her foes. She can teleport across the battlefield and summon shadow-clones to strike at her enemies.
