Widow of the Red Path
The Widow of the Red Path was once a mighty night caste solar, a freedom fighter and leader of secret armies. Driven insane by the great curse, she becomes a paranoid ditator, using fear to rule with an iron fist from the shadows. Betrayed by her Sidereal mentor and her own dragon blooded students, aids and supposedly faithful assassins, the night caste spilled the blood of hundreds of enemies, but was finally outnumbered and sank like a memory into the underworld. From here she plans to return to Creation and forge it into a more agreeable image.

Description
The Widow appears to most who encounter her as an ancient woman, taller than most men and gaunt to the point of being a skeleton. Pale weathered skin sit stretched across bones. Her posture is regal and a wicked smile always seems to play across her skull like face. Her long and slender neck, always protected by black soulsteel neckbrace, only enforcs the image of her head as a skull. Thin whispy white hair is pulled back across the top of head and gathered in a ball, held by a tiny black soul steel medallion, showing the screaming face of a handsome elder man, in fact the widow's former mentor known simply as the Demon Mask.

Plans and Influence
The Central part of the Widow's plans center around her Five Armies Stratagem is the creation of five secret armies to ensure her hold on her path on creation. So far no one has pierced the veil of secrecy the Widow has wowen around these armies and she has even had them fight each other to maintain the deception.
- Ghost Tiger Army is a rebel army, led by a group of descendants of a powerful Full Moon Lunar, known in stories as the Legendary Tiger GeneralThe core group of the army are all suprisingly human looking beastmen, who gather their forces for the moment when their legends fortell of the return of their ancestor as the Invincible Ghost Tiger, hence the name of the group. The Widow has secretly been grooming one of the beastmen as the army's leader and has him possessed by one of her most skillfull nemissaries, giving her full control of the Ghost Tiger Army very soon.
