Gattara Vladaam

A web enhancement for Issue 4 of the Ptolus Comic

In issue 4 of the Monte Cook's Ptolus: City by the Spire comic, Sheva Callister chances upon a clandestine meeting of the crime lord Kevris Killraven with the sinister Gattara Vladaam, sister to those responsible for the death of her adventuring partner Parnell. Is she the architect of the plot against her? Discover the truth in issue 4, published by DBPro/Marvel Comics and now in stores. Meanwhile, here's a closer look at the game stats for this conniving noblewoman, taken from Chapter 6: Organizations of Ptolus.

Gattara is the eldest sibling in the Vladaam family, but she is hopelessly mad, given to fits of irrational rage without notice. Once thought a promising wizard, she gave up her studies to serve as a priestess to the Galchutt. She has a round face and shoulder-length dark brown hair. She wears scandalously revealing garments much of the time.
