Background on House Vandree: House Vandree is, at present, in perhaps the most tentative position of any house in Menzoberranzan. Their numbers are few, their compound grand, and packed House Barrison Del'Armgo has made it known that they covet the Vandree compound. In lieu of that, Matron Troken'ther Vandree is trying to either win the protection of House Baenre, or get First Matron Mother Baenre to demand a civilized swap of compounds. It is not known how Matron Baenre will react. On the one hand, there has been perhaps too much chaos among the leading houses in the last few decades, and an orderly process might seem attractive, but on the other hand, Matron Baenre is eager to see Barrison Del'Armgo, her principle rival, get into a fight and show what it can do. The situation does not look good, but House Vandree has a long-standing tradition of getting into trouble and somehow finding their way back out. Thoken'ther and her offspring seem to delight in internal feuding and dangerous political ploys. The house even dabbles in surface-world affairs, and in acquiring all sorts of trophies and useful magical items. (Human skulls, fashioned into drinking goblets are a favorite.)
Their Matron mother is Matron, Troken'ther Vandree, and they have an older sister by the name of Demona Vandree, who is also a Priestess of Lloth. Sosdrielle Vandree was also their sister, until she was killed by a Golem of Gromph Baenre (Gromph was her consort at the time).

Naenre and Nalfein are very VERY close. They are twin siblings and, even though Drow society places females above males, Naenre protects Nalfein from any who would seek to challenge him. Nalfein's place is at his sister's side, and both offer their services to Bregan D'athe and to Jarlaxle in particular. Many within Menzoberranzan suspect that Naenre and Nalfein are, in fact, lovers; that their bond as twins goes even farther than that of ordinary siblings. Such rumors would be correct... in a sense. Neither Vandree twin has yet to disclose to whom their hearts (if such a thing can be given in drow society) have been pleadged. However, with Demona around, it is evident that Naenre will not become Matron Mother of House Vandree... Thus, both Naenre and Nalfein conspire with one another to overthrow their elder sister, and perhaps even their own mother, in a move to gain the power of House Vandree for themselves.

Many years passed and he excelled in both his archery and fencing. He found himself very skilled in the martial skills, but when it came to magic he was unable to grasp the concept. The night of his first raid against a orc war party, traveling too close to the woods, he was seperated in the heat of battle.

Background: grew up in a wealthy household in Calimport under the birthname of Elizabeth. However, he mother was preoccupied with herself and father alwasy hrabored resentment toward the girl, suuspecting her to be another man's child, because she looked nothing like him. When Elizabeth was eight, her mother was killed in the robbery/assassination of a jewlry maker that ahd gotten on the wrong side of one fo the Theif's Guild. Elizabeth was with her mother when it happened. The girl was trying to get to her fallen porclien doll before teh "bad men" took it and Elizabteh's mother rushed to drag the girl away, exposing herself from where she had her child had hidden. The theives killed her mother but the theives panicked and feld, not checking to make sure Elizabeth (who had a crossbow dart in her stomach) was truly dead.

Elizabeth recoverd, but her father blamed her for her mother's death. She was locked in her room because he didn't want to see her at all and hired a servent to make sure that the girl was fed and clothed. The servent, however, seeing that her employer realyl didn't give a damn about his daughter, often took Elizabeth's food, clothes and other things for herself and her own family.

During the next four years, Elizabeth's father got himself addicted to an opium-like drug and ws forced to sell many valubles to kepp himself well supplied with the drug, stripping the manor almost bare.

When Elizabeth was ten years old, he sold the girl for a hefty sum, to keep paying for his addiction. The girl ended up in the hands of two vampires, who treated her like a favourite pet for two years. For those two years, she was nothing mroe than a pretty doll showpiece, dressed up (and occasionally fed on). Her nourishment was never more than bread, water and vampire blood from her two masters.

The blood did two things to Elizabeth: it gave her a sickly pale appearance, and it made herself addicted to the taste of blood (vamiric especially). Her two masters were alwasy careful, and while she came close, the girl never actually became an undead

After two years of being a pet doll, Elizabeth got away. Teaching herself how to pick locks and disarm traps, she escaped her room and set the manor ablaze during teh daylight hours. She also stole a medalion from her mastor, which she had seen him use on a number of occasions.

Elizabeth was emotionally and physcially scarred by her expeirence and ended up in a gutter half dead not a week later. She was picked up by a young werewolf named Rethe and his older brother Aix that had recently himself been turned to a vampire.

Aix weened her off her addication, slowly decreasing the frequency and amount of her "feedings" until she could go completly without. Rethe and Aix both taught her how to fight and the younger of the brother's her introduced her to professionaly theiving skills. She also took a new name, Cani. The new identity helped save her sanity and move on from her childhood

Living with Aix and Rethe was hand-to-mouth and the three of them were almost constantly on their guard. But for these five years, for the first time in her life, Cani was happy with her lot.

At 17 Cani discovered that one of her masters, Lilith had survived the girl's fire (though ended up horribly scarred) and had been ruthlessly tracking the girl down- and she discovered too late and the hard way when she was kidnapped by Lilith's hirelings.

The tenday that followed was the most violent and painful torture Cani had ever experinced in her life.

Aix and Rethe of course came to save her and Lilith was killed (the finaly blwo struck by Cani herself), but the girl barely survived and whithin that tendays, five years of the good Aix and Rethe did for her sanity was all but undone.

The threesome moved to Luskan once Cani was well enough for travle (she still had to ride in the back of a wagon the entire journey and mostly unconcious). Over time, the three fell back into familiar comfortable and relatively safe routines. No one brought up Lilith. Aix found a woman named Tyll at a tavern that eventually moved in with them.

It was at this time that Cani discovered hat she was infected with a diease that threatens to kill her within the next couple of years (if she's that lucky)

And after many months, Cani finally let someone touch her and spent the night with Rethe, who had fallen in love with her over the years, but had never dared to even kiss her.

However, in the aftermath of the night, Cani slipped out while Rethe was still sleeping, in a confused wirlwind of emotions. She ran away from him, from fully trusting someone again. She came back to Calimport and began stratching out a living as a theif there, never joining any guilds, but doing odd jobs and maintaining her independence. She also worked extensively on a contact web, reconizing that knowledge in the city was one of the most powerful tools, and worked on keeping herself unknown and under the radar, often utilizing various disguises.

The first night she returned to Calimport, she went to her father's house, stabbed him brutally to death and burned the mansion, and all reminders and evidence of her childhood, down.
