Aydrian Thrune
As of 4721 AR, Aydrian Thrune was a minor but ambitious member of House Thrune who schemed to discredit the Pathfinder Society in order to improve her station in Cheliax.2
Appearance
Aydrian was a Chelaxian1 woman in her thirties who dressed impeccably in fine clothing and wore her black hair in a long tail.3
Relatives
Aydrian was born into Thrice-Damned House Thrune on her mother's side and raised amongst its incessant political schemes. Her father was assassinated when she was a child and held an unknown connection to Nidal and she gained the patronage of a being of shadow, granting Aydrian innate powers that were both infernal and shadowy in nature.3

Background
In 4721 AR, agents of Aydrian Thrune discovered the secret membership of Chelaxian noble Varian Jeggare in the Pathfinder Society. She then enacted a scheme to poison Jeggare, break into his estate of Greensteeples Manor while his bodyguard Radovan Virholt was away, kidnap him to the sealed Pathfinder lodge of Delvehaven, and torture him in a mental prison of shadow magic into a confession.27 She also bribed local authorities to avoid Delvehaven while she enacted her scheme.7
Aydrian's ultimate goal was to present the broken Jeggare to Queen Abrogail Thrune II of Cheliax, an act that she expected would significantly raise her profile in Cheliax.27 However, her schemes were complicated by Jeggare's resistance, interference by Pathfinders and Virholt, and the discovery of her incursions into Andoran threatened regional destabilization, which angered Queen Abrogail II.8
Jeggare was rescued from Aydrian and Delvehaven, and Aydrian's fate is unknown.9
