Zaena Greyson¶
Zaena Greyson was a Danari tailor who "camped in the wrong place" on the Sancturi frontier and was taken by the demon Xokoth, who wears her body as a spy for the devil Hal'Gamesh. As "Zaena Greyson the Infiltrator" she was one of the guests bound by the devil's blood pact when his Hollow swallowed Harwith, placed among them to watch the company he sent out (S151, S138, S161).
Also called: Zaena.
The tailor¶
She is 30, with "long, wavy, auburn hair and green eyes and rough golden skin". She stands 5'10" with "a stocky build with a round and mediocre face" (S151). She kept a tailor's shop in a town the sources leave unnamed, and fights like a trained soldier (S151).
"The real Zaena was a traveller that camped in the wrong place about 2 months ago. She has been tortured and possessed by the demon Xokoth" (S151). The demon keeps to the truth where it can: she was indeed on her way to a city "to purchase supplies for her tailor shop". She claims she "didn't have the spare coin to stay in the inn and had a camp not far from the road", which is false; two months before she had stayed at the inn, and the innkeeper could know her. Asked how a tailor fights so well, she says she served for a time in an army "and fought many battles" (S151).
The spy¶
"She is outgoing, friendly and helpful. This is ofc an act to get close to as many people as possible" (S151). Among the bound she keeps neutral, says that "getting more supplies for her shop doesn't seem that important", and urges that "they need to do what [the devil] wants them to do ... to do anything else is too dangerous. To anyone planning rebellion to [him], she will instill fear" (S151). Hal'Gamesh counts her among the forces of his Hollow (S138).
In Guillon she made a pact of her own with the rogue Neven Hayes: the two would steal the pact totem, and she promised him "freedom from the pact" (S162). She stayed with the company through Kilmarn and the caverns beneath it (S162, S164, S165, S166, S167). Her part in play belongs to the Sancturi Campaign.
Gap
The sources do not say whether the company ever learned what Zaena was, what became of her or of the demon after the caverns beneath Kilmarn, or whether anything of the real Zaena survives.
Xokoth¶
Xokoth is the demon that tortured and possessed Zaena, "who now serves Zul'Ruggamesh as his spy among the group" (S151). Zul'Ruggamesh is the name the earliest character sheet gives the Hollowlord; the Harwith scenario calls him Hal'Gamesh (S151, S138). Of Xokoth's own nature the sources say nothing more.
