Residence: Keleos on Sinovia
Physical Description: Iolentha walks with an assured grace, her body athletically built, her reflexes quick. She often keeps her black, loosely curled locks in a long plait that reaches to the small of her back. Her deep brown eyes, long nose and full lips are set into a long, swarthy-complexioned face.
Personality: Iolentha prefers not to mince her words, but will use flattery and subtle persuasion if it ends in the result she wants. She is a ruthless merchant and successful because of her ambitious nature. Having inherited her slave business from her mother, Iolethna thinks nothing more of the men than a property - to be honest she gives her pet dogs more thought than the slaves she buys and sells.
Life Story: Iolentha, as the second daughter born to a slave trader, never expected to gain anything in her life that she did not get for herself. Though not remise in her duties as a mother, Acantha was far more concerned with the wellbeing and upbringing of her eldest daughter, Kalonice. Iolentha learned quickly to use every opportunity presented to her advantage. When Iolentha was 12, some of the Azani slaves her mother had bought broke out of their confinement and attempted to overrun the slave compound. Eventually, they were subdued but to a great cost: Kalonice had been killed in the uprising. Filled with grief, Acantha had every one of the Azani she had bought in that shipment put to death. Iolentha, the eldest of the surviving three daughters, stepped into her sister's place and upon Acantha's untimely death to a mystery illness, she inherited the business. One of her sisters left the compound to set up her own business elsewhere, but the younger two stayed on with Iolentha as her advisors. After her Chola, Iolentha found that she had become pregnant, but when she gave birth to a boy child her joy turned to disappointment and though she did care somewhat for the baby, she was furious with the slave who was his father and beat the man until he was delerious from the pain. Once the boy was weaned, she gave him to her father to raise as a useful addition to the household. Having inherited her mother's slave business at a relatively young age, Iolentha has not had the time to become pregnant again but now she is beginning to turn her mind to the matter as she must have an heir for the slave business when she too passes back to the arms of the Great Mother.
