Biography
Gwendhā Septā Welghwosā was born on the 17th of Vetrun, 7639, into the prestigious H1ekwos clan of the Ghērspōt tribe. The Ghērspōt tribe, renowned for its extensive engineering and machinery workshops and administrative services, provided a rich and influential environment for her upbringing. As one of three daughters among fifteen siblings, Gwendhā was singled out by her father, an influential inner circle member, to be groomed for a life of power and influence. Her education was unparalleled, attending the finest academies and finishing schools in Hergom, where she was molded into a sophisticated and adept socialite.
During her debutante era, Gwendhā quickly established herself as a prominent figure within the upper echelons of Wolgos society. Her charm, intelligence, and strategic social skills made her a magnet for the most influential suitors from various tribes. Gwendhā’s social gatherings became legendary, attracting the elite and forming a network of allies that would be crucial in her future endeavors. She cultivated a large following among Wolgos women and forged connections with influential men, leveraging these relationships to build her social and political capital.
In 7662, Gwendhā met Gwhermos, a rising star within the Ghankor tribe. Their courtship, marked by strategic social engagements and mutual respect, blossomed over the next few years. Their marriage, which took place after the end of the Second Coalition War, was a masterstroke of political strategy. This union not only solidified the cooperation between their respective tribes but also propelled the advancement of industrial initiatives that would shape the future of their society.
7684 Gaskhgwhos affair
In the 40th of Blots 7684, state director Gwhermos Seh2lusonos was due to visit the Hlrike broch Gaskhgwhos as a yearly state visit to accept the allegiance of the Hlrike]] to the Wolgos tribes, but more importantly, to discuss the economic fallout of human emancipation on the Hlrike finances. Unknown at the time, Seh2lusonos had become afflicted in the preceding days by a debilitating attack of rheumatism, an affliction of his that the public was not aware of at the time; Seh2lusonos' condition at times was bad enough to not even allow him to stand and to make his body and jaw Shriver in pain.
At the last minute, due to the meeting's grave importance and keeping the state director's condition secret, Welghwosa's husband tasked her with attending as the first lady of the state. Officially, her visit would be to accept the Hlrike's allegiance despite the eyebrow-raising choice of sending women to meet the Hlrike; in closed doors, however, she and an entourage of his secretaries would negotiate the financial Hlrike situation with the Grand Rótḱlhḷḗmnodēywos and his administrators.
Welghwosa arrived via airship at the Gaskhgwhos bunker complex, making a grand entrance in a fine midnight black haute couture dress that billowed in the mountain breeze and trailed behind her and a luxurious polar bear stole wrapped around her fine neck and shoulders. Her descent from the airship, accompanied by handpicked state secretaries, exuded luxury, confidence, and power. Her appearance caught the austere, hard, and well-known misogynic Hlrike by surprise; these hard knights of brutal and grim reputation in the human and Wolgos world confounded and disarmed by her graceful and self-important presence.
The Hlrike knights were clearly thrown off by her presence. The ceremony and the photographs taken by reporters illustrated the Hlrike as uneasy and of kilter while she retained her alluring elegance and unyielding confidence as Grand Rótḱlhḷḗmnodēywos struggled to kneel before her with his usual precise and steely poise. The Hlrike portrayed themselves as unsure and vulnerable just from her presence; their immaculate metaphorical armour could have chinks and weaknesses.
In private, the Hlrike were said to be furious and deeply offended by her presence, yet she remained unfazed and commanding during tense negotiations. The Hlrike found themselves at a loss at having to negotiate grave matters with a delegation headed by a woman, and they felt they had been snubbed by the state and made to look weak for the Wolgos populace to see. The Hlrike had lost the right to man their mines, industry and plantations by enslaved humans since emancipation, yet they were slow to comply and now faced some of the first class action lawsuits in the H2elyoh3regmn̥ti against a Wolgos entity for unlawful exploitation and the collapse of various enterprises without state intervention.
Under the threat of allowing the H2elyoh3regmn̥ti to proceed with financial restitution to humans and criminal charges against Hlrike administrators and no bailouts of floundering enterprises, Welghwosa used her wit, charm, and acerbic eloquence to take a humble five per cent of the defence budget as direct funding and a modest bailout. Her intervention helped make the Hlrike bend the knee not only ceremonially but practically without bolstering their influence. Her intervention also prevented the Hlrke from obtaining a dispensation from the Emancipation Act that would have prolonged their use of slaves for five more years; they were forced to pay wages and safeguard dignity privileges granted by the act, which would greatly hobble the Hlrikes ability to strong-arm or threaten the state.
Character
Gwendha is a monolith of poise, polish and charm, and her presence is described as powerful and luxurious, with witch and charm used as finely honed tools that can uplift a gathering or rip an opponent to shreds without ever breaking cultured and refined language and tone. Her knowledge of everyone's affairs and ability to converse about topics of elegance, luxury, politics and social affairs make her a formidable figure in all soirees. She has her fingers on the pulse of society, the arts, culture and society, and she is unknown to make mistakes or to be caught off guard; despite knowing very well the craters and affairs of others, she is careful to cultivate an air of mystery around her and to safeguard her chinks closely.
Her track of the pulse of fashion is also impeccable; she makes a graceful figure of pure poise and style, her platinum heir always in an immaculate updo and her dress sense fashionable and the embodiment of elegance and opulence. Scents of Amber, White Musk, and Jasmine are said to be the heralds of presence, and diamonds and pearls are the beacons of her authority. Gwendha is fond of exotic furs and is said to have spent considerably on brilliant white Luora-hunted polar bear furs. Jaguar pelts from Bowersland also grace her accessories and wear.
To the public, she is not only a beacon of culture and opulence but also a symbol of perfect motherhood, having given birth to fourteen beautiful Wolgos boys and girls who have grown into formidable Wolgos. Her image of motherhood is further accentuated by pain. The public knows of her two other two twin children she bore her husband, who, due to undisclosed reasons, had to be led to walk their final pilgrimage at the age of two. It is said that Gwendha led them through the forest where golden light filtered through the canopies to a meadow blooming with flowers; she left them settled amongst the grasses and flowers as the sunset light kissed them as she turned back and saw them for a last time.
In the last decade, her presence has become more public and ever-present by her husband's side, always close to him and taking on duties no other first lad had ever taken before. She is not just his companion but his pouncing predator behind the shadows, eviscerating his foes before they can rise to face him; those who oppose her husband fear her influence and many luxurious strings tied to many important figures she might choose to pull without hesitation.
Family
Gwendhā bore Gwhermos ten still living children, many of whom were sons. Following the tradition of her family, she meticulously groomed her children for roles of power and influence. Her home became a training ground for future leaders, where she imparted lessons on strategy, politics, and leadership. Gwendhā used her extensive network and her husband’s influence to secure positions of privilege and authority for her children, ensuring that her family's legacy of power would continue unabated.
