Zia Rashid

Once a powerful student of the Chief Lector, Iskandar, Zia Rashid has only grown stronger thanks to the intensive training regimen she and the other members of The Exiles forces received on the Isle of the Stars. While she was originally the host of Nephthys, when her real body was recovered by Sadie, Callista, and Bast, the Goddess of the Nile returned to the river, and the slumbering power of the Sun God Ra embedded itself within her. While the consciousness of the deity remains imprisoned, she is able to draw on his strength to augment the power of her spells to incredible levels.

She prefers to do battle from long range, like Sadie, using spellfire on her enemies or augmenting the abilities of her allies (commonly reffered to as "buffing"). While this does not mean she is helpless in melee range by any stretch of the imagination, she is far less proficient than, for example, Callista. Despite her power, however, Sadie still can outmatch her due to the greater control over magic that being the Host of Isis gives the blond-haired Kane sibling.

Both her power and her skill, and most of all her loyalty, have earned her a well-deserved place amongst the Stormguard, the elite forces of The Exile
