Overview
Initially an Ally Spirit built as an avatar of one of the Finnish gods of death, one responsible for distributing suffering and misery appropriately among the living, the Lady of Pain is a Force 12 spirit and well learned necromancer, well knowledgeable in all aspects undead and dead alike. She maintains operations at the North Star Private Investigations office in Everett after its official owner moved to Finland to work more closely with Erika. Technically North Star Private Investigations is officially an Erika-owned subsidiary now, but it's made limited impact on anything due to its quiet nature and remote location. The one that designed the spirit's formula set her free in the late end of 2084, having completed their quest. The Lady of Pain exists as a beacon of Finnish necromantic traditions for those that prove worthy of her teachings.

| Matrix Offline | This character cannot be reached via the Matrix. She must be visited in person in Everett for any contact checks or interaction. The Astral Message spell is ignored. |
| Honor First | Notoriety has a double penalty when dealing with this contact. |
| Necromancer | +2 on any checks relating to undead creatures of any kind. This includes shedim, though she doesn't want to have anything to do with them. |
| Bard | +2 on any checks related to singing. Finnish folklore is an oral tradition and its spells are sung out; to no surprise she's a skilled performer. |

| Autopsy Aspirant | +2 on checks related to cadavers. |

| Underworld Understudy | +2 on checks related to metaplanes and hyperplanes with a connection to death, entropy and necromancy. Does not include the metaplane shedim originate from. |
| Ritual Reanimator | The Lady of Pain can participate in a ritual to create corps cadavres if she believes the cause to be honorable, using her Aid Sorcery ability. This will make the character owe a chip to her. |
