Glissandi Magna is a wealthy, fiercely independent cousin with real power in the Magna guild-family and connections throughout Ossa. She is one of Adriana Grappo’s killers, but chooses suicide rather than confess under shackleglass.

Description

Glissandi Magna is a middle-aged woman with short hair. She wears fine, wealthy-looking clothes, including a dark blue tunic or a scarlet jacket over a black tunic. Crow’s-feet crease the corners of her eyes, and makeup covers several blemishes. Her expression is deeply frowning; up close, she looks older and more severe.
