She needs to recruit an army of Sellswords and rally the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes around her. She intends to break out of prison and overthrow Marwan to claim the throne herself. She is neither fond nor proficient in matters of diplomacy or politics, so she chooses a more. First of all, she spends her days incarcerated in a dungeon and secondly, there is already a man on her throne: Marwan. Unfortunately, there are two problems that potentially foil her plans. Cassia, a young woman of noble descent, has only one goal: She wants to claim the Shark Throne, no matter the price and be it only for one day.

Together with Cassia the three remaining Blackguards will be the main characters of Blackguards 2. In the Blackguards she sees the fighters and the power she needs for her plans, even if they are a shadow of their former glory: Naurim became fat and lazy, but also more cunning Zurbaran lost his self-confidence and Takate seems to have lost his killer instinct. Cassia, main protagonist of Blackguards 2, is looking for them: Cassia’s only goal is to rule from the Shark Throne at all costs, even if it’s only for one day.

She shackled, mortified, and sold him for one symbolic copper piece at the slave market. Wizard Zurbaran was even less lucky: his mistress tracked down the former slave, who was unable to escape servitude. He used his popularity for shady businesses and excessive parties and got quite potbellied – not a very good condition for battles, and so he hung up his axe and ditched his old gang. Dwarf Naurim has retired with his fame as a successful gladiator and defeater of the Nine Hordes.
