Gathel Aster

Description
Gathel Aster was a Forsaken priestess in service of Sylvanas. She oversaw the creation of new Forsaken and assisted with guiding the new recruits into their initial roles. It was in this manner that she discovered Hyiacinth, a young Forsaken with no eyes and high vulnerability. Due to her friendly and sweet nature, Gathel decided to take Hyiacinth's safety and wellbeing into her own hands, formally adopting her as a sister. She attempted to teach Hyiacinth about the Light, but was happy to help her find proper training when she decided the role of a rogue was something that suited her better. Gathel was also the one who procured a guide bat for Hyiacinth, who was named "Shrieky". She appears in the story Hyiacinth's Resurrection.

Gathel regularly ran afoul of other Forsaken, in particular Rhamiel Shadowbane and Yreine Greyhart, who she would insult and belittle with wild abandon. She was also openly critical of Sylvanas and other leaders, and her fearless nature in expressing her opinion led to her winning a sort of begrudging respect from most of her peers-- including Rhamiel, to a degree.

Yreine was not so easily won over, and the mage went on to violently murder Gathel in her home in Brill, leaving her mangled remains for Hyiacinth to find. Despite her death, Gathel occasionally appears in dreams to Hyiacinth, providing comfort, advice, and warnings.
