Laurena Holcomb

Inquisitor Laurena Holcomb was a priestess of Stratholme who eventually joined the ranks of the Scarlet Crusade. She was killed during one of the Brotherhood of the Light's raids on the Scarlet Bastion.

Holcomb was a chief member within the radical sect of Scarlet Crusaders known as the Hand of the Unblinded. She oversaw the clandestine operations of the Purifiers, ensuring dissenters and apostates were ferreted out before trouble could brew with the Crusade's ranks.

History
After the arrival of her third child, Laurena was promptly whisked away once again to her duties to the clergy. During this time, she had recruited the promising bishop, Ithel, who had been investigating concerning matters in her stead. Ithel informed Holcomb of the rising menace of demonic cults left in the Shadow Council's wake. The Second War prompted a more militant outlook from the clergy, and Laurena deemed it necessary to assemble an inquisition.

Utilizing the catacombs beneath Pyrebane Keep, Holcomb was able to assemble a sizeable force of skilled, clandestine operators to carry out investigations beyond the Uplands area.

A True Threat


--Laurena finally discovers the fugitive. It was none other than Felix Deichert, the knight who had been causing significant trouble for the inquisition throughout the Subjugation of Norlaran and the subsequent fallout. Even more worrying was the new development she had witnessed, and that was that Felix managed to obtain a vampiric runeblade. Hoping to sever the bond from its wielder, Laurena unleashed a devastating surge of holy magic, a vicious Holy Smite that carved right through Felix's heart before he could even muster his attack.
