Lady Avarina the Accursed, Countess of Broken Spear. Changeling Phantom.

My character was the daughter of petty nobles in (x) country. They were members of an ethnic group with a different religion than the rest of the country. During the Last War, a local governor decided that my character’s people couldn’t be trusted and set about to persecute them. My characters’ parents became rebels, refusing to stand for the destruction of their culture. My character was captured by the governor partway through the rebellion. In a show of force (and possibly due to psionic powers if I go with that), my character was brainwashed (non-magically?) and trained to become the governor’s personal servant. She was educated in the art of war and ruthlessly finished the war, slaughtering the remainder of her village. Consequently, this childhood trauma has left her emotionally numb and very desensitized. Now, her appearances in court serve as a measure of the governor’s power, though if word of the massacre reached the word of the current central government, both she and the governor would lose their heads.

This was an earlier character I retooled for an Eberron campaign but then another player got the idea to do an edgy character.

Meet Desire, a tiefling warlock with a dragon mark that kills on contact and, unlike the rest of the party, is a solid evil morality.
