So anyway, an NPC from my current campaign,
Emery

Inquisitor of the Everlasting Order
Description
Straight black hair with a single front plat framing a pale white face, purple eyes gaze silently out of lazy lidded eyes, her deep crimson coloured lips need no decoration.
When within the safety of cities and taverns she wears her long robe like dress over a short skirt knee high white stockings and white boots. Her robe is decorated with arcane writings, covers her arms and her sleeves flare out over her gloved hands, the robe is split from just below her right hip allowing her to move gracefully through courts and battlefields alike.
When outside of the safety of her city walls she wears the same robe but underneath she wears leather trousers and a chain mail shirt.
History
Emery was raised in a military orphanage in Innmouth her father was a lieutenant in the Saail army and died in the battle of Kivaar against the armies of Ling in the three year war. Her mother was a warlock who died in a border incident shortly after the war. Her talent in magic and stealth were spotted by a visiting member of the order and she was quickly purchased from the orphanage and spent the following decade under the harsh tutelage of the orders priests and acolytes. This is her first assignment outside of confines of the order and is on the one hand naïve, but on the other hand she is a vicious efficient killer, dedicated to her faith and strengthening her nation.

The World
These are the framing notes for a handful of the kingdoms in my campaign world.
The Kingdom of Saail
Situated on the southern coast of the continent, the kingdom is poor and over stretched ruled by King Shion he is well liked by the people but is viewed as an ignoble start up by the nobles and feudal lords that rule the lands. The king’s influence spreads little beyond the capital and even his hold there is tenuous.
Empire of Ling
North of Saail is Ling, it is comparatively powerful but tormented by barbarian raiders from the north and constantly at odds with Shin Matsumi to the east. It is ruled by Emperor Klein, an accomplished military strategist and proven diplomat, Klein is imposing, however his grasp on domestic matters is poor and he leaves these to the Empress Miya a soft spoken woman of substantial wisdom.
Duchy of Ren
The Duchy is a vassal of Saail, Duke Blay is a close friend of King Shion, they spent many years together in the academy of Nollebourg .
Province of Siralon
An independent province ruled by a council of elected representatives, its people are strong and capable fighters as they have had to fend off multiple invasions from Ling, Barbarians and, Saail. The province was originally part of Ling but it broke away fifty years ago.
Shin Matsumi
A shadowy state in the east, it focuses on strict rule and a powerful administrative body, the Emperor is a shrewd politician but the Empires strongest card is its professional army backed by capable secret service.
Narak
Narak is ruled by an undead lord, originally these were the nations of Sang and Kor, however when the monster army marched out of the mountains neither could stand. The world readied for an onslaught however the undead swarm stopped and has been silent within the borders of Narak, the small nations surrounding it can see the smoke from the smiths of Narak and the scent of death in the air.
Surbery
A kingdom that focuses on naval power and trade, it has tense relations with its northern neighbour. Its King is an adept mage and the he has created many towers dedicated to magic and the mastery of the sea.
