Sliver is a [[Gerudo]] with the birthname of [[River Aurora]] who showed great promise in the Gerudo combat arts and dark arts at a young age.  She spent much of her youth and teenage years training in various assassin arts and combat techniques.  She demonstrated absolutely no skill for magic, and this weakness spurned her on to hone her other skills to the point of near superhuman ability.
  
Sliver found a steady job, however, during the Great War, when the special operatives organization [[The Celpo}Celpo]] was founded in the [[Grand Army]]. The head of the organization, a man named [[Praxer Riose|Praxer]], heard of Sliver`s considerable skill and decided to recruit her. Sliver had no qualms whatsoever - some of the work was dirty, but the pay was extraordinary.

Though she benefited greatly from her training with her people and had no problems adopting to their harsh lifestyle, in her pride she began to feel her exceptional talents were worth more than the life of a desert thief and she left her people seeking fame, fortune, and the attention of men.  Her Gerudo combat talents proved an asset on the battlefield, as their culture was not widely known and their secrets well kept, making her a formidable foe.  She became a highly sought after sellsword and managed to attract the attention of the new newly established [[Celpo]] in the days of the [[Great War]]. She was also ruthless in execution, often times sparing no witnesses even when it was not necessary.  One notable exception was an early job she took where she spared the life of [[Rudra Tairen]], then only a child.
  
That was, until Sliver got in over her head. One what she thought was a routine mission, she was commanded to stand guard for a [[Tasnica]]n scientist who had developed a technique to improve the versatility of the Grand Army`s most valued tanks, dubbed [[King Leo tank|King Leo]]. It was considered the [[Dark Wrath]] might take a stab at the man, and Sliver was to make sure that wouldn`t happen.

Eventually Sliver was recruited by [[Celpo]], where she was given the Sliver codename. She was a highly effective agent who was trusted on numerous missions and could seem to do no wrong.  One fateful night, however, she was placed on guard duty and in a moment of carelessness was almost killed by a [[Baneling]]. She was saved by Rudra Tairen, who despite her young age dealt with the creatures with ease.  The two formed an uneasy bond that night and a mission Sliver was later sent on required her to work alongside Rudra.  During their time together Rudra's benevolence seemed to change Sliver, and for the first time in her life she began to question her path.  Eventually Rudra won Sliver over -- the Celpo agent agreed to join Rudra's secret underground information network, OmniSent, though she would continue her work with Celpo.
  
She was encountered with a [[Baneling]] that night, however -- a stealth creature that very nearly killed her and the scientist.

Time passed, however, and Sliver saw things. Witnessed events that changed her opinions. Praxer had thrown orders through the Celpo that disregarded human life, especially fanatical directly after the Great War. Sliver`s jobs became less demanding in challenge and instead more inhumane in their work -- orders that would have her kill children and innocents just to make sure the job went through well enough. Sliver normally could have worked through this, but the woman Rudra had succeeded in planting a seed of morality, one that whispered to Sliver whenever a spare moment passed.

She enjoys her work for Celpo, and still does, which is why is not largely suspected by her superiors. (Though trust obviously runs thin between colleagues in Celpo) Over the years she has become fiercely loyal to the OmniSent, and Rudra Tairen in particular, and is very nearly ready to give up her life for the organization and its cause, even after its corruption at the hands of [[Roland Boderick]].

History

Sliver is a Gerudo with the birthname of River Aurora who showed great promise in the Gerudo combat arts and dark arts at a young age. She spent much of her youth and teenage years training in various assassin arts and combat techniques. She demonstrated absolutely no skill for magic, and this weakness spurned her on to hone her other skills to the point of near superhuman ability.

Though she benefited greatly from her training with her people and had no problems adopting to their harsh lifestyle, in her pride she began to feel her exceptional talents were worth more than the life of a desert thief and she left her people seeking fame, fortune, and the attention of men. Her Gerudo combat talents proved an asset on the battlefield, as their culture was not widely known and their secrets well kept, making her a formidable foe. She became a highly sought after sellsword and managed to attract the attention of the new newly established Celpo in the days of the Great War. She was also ruthless in execution, often times sparing no witnesses even when it was not necessary. One notable exception was an early job she took where she spared the life of Rudra Tairen, then only a child.

Eventually Sliver was recruited by Celpo, where she was given the Sliver codename. She was a highly effective agent who was trusted on numerous missions and could seem to do no wrong. One fateful night, however, she was placed on guard duty and in a moment of carelessness was almost killed by a Baneling. She was saved by Rudra Tairen, who despite her young age dealt with the creatures with ease. The two formed an uneasy bond that night and a mission Sliver was later sent on required her to work alongside Rudra. During their time together Rudra's benevolence seemed to change Sliver, and for the first time in her life she began to question her path. Eventually Rudra won Sliver over -- the Celpo agent agreed to join Rudra's secret underground information network, OmniSent, though she would continue her work with Celpo.

Sliver had a slight role in the OmniSent Conflict -- she provided backup for Manta on one of his missions in Aryth (where she was actually first introduced into the story) and also provided backup to Faith Weist during the attack on Atlantis. She would have a larger role in the East-West War, where she aided Lord General Faith Weist, whom she formed a strong bond with. Sliver also accompanied Elayne Crant'za on her pursuit after the Emperor Vonkrick DeLaykrinn. A nefarious mercenary during the days before the Great War, Sliver worked for the highest bidder, no matter what the job, and she was successful in most all of her endeavors. An expert in disguise and espionage, she was often sought out by people who needed things done.

Post Kupopolis

At this time, not much is known about Sliver's fate following the East-West War. At some point before Kupopolis Neo she actually readopts the name River Aurora, marries, settles down, and has one daughter, who in turn has a son. Sliver dies of cancer when her grandson is still very young. Sliver never shares with her daughter her history as a Celpo agent and her heritage as a Gerudo.
