Background
How she got to Primal Earth is unclear, but whatever the details are, the ridiculously-named Nightingale Parfait is in fact Lorelei Nachtigall's Praetorian counterpart. This means that she knows Lorelei's real name, as the both of them share it, but Parfait doesn't seem willing to reveal Lorelei's name, either out of a sense of honor or because it might be good blackmail material.
In any case, Parfait claims to be an agent of Emperor Cole, sent to Primal Earth to retrieve the errant Theo Alteridem, who the Tyrant has taken an interest in due to his Force of Will abilities. Given that Parfait is airheaded, easily distracted, and entirely too chipper for real villainy, it's likely that Emperor Cole doesn't expect Parfait to succeed, or survive, this assignment.
Current Status
Joyously evil and generally troublesome, Nightingale Parfait currently considers herself Lorelei Nachtigall's personal antagonist. Lorelei considers Parfait an idiot with troublesome magical powers and a tenacity almost unmatched by anyone else Lorelei knows. Parfait is alive today primarily because she always seems to know when, and how, to run from a fight, and she can use her magic to hide from Beckett Alteridem's soul-sense.
Personality
Despite their being counterparts, Nightingale Parfait and Lorelei Nachtigall are almost entirely unlike in terms of personality. While Lorelei is reserved, withdrawn, and intellectual, Parfait is loud, extroverted, and probably a bit stupid. She knows that "Nightingale Parfait" is a thoroughly ridiculous thing to call herself, and she also think's it's very funny. She loudly demands respect and fear from her enemies, and enters combat with a mad grin on her face, cracking jokes and laughing like a fool. Parfait's antics are so over the top, it's very easy to forget that she's successfully defeated almost every enemy who has stood against her, usually with little apparent effort.
Parfait is very enthusiastic about combat. She strikes fast and hard using her dark magic, deflecting attacks with her massive shield. While she originally came to Primal Earth to defeat Theo Alteridem, Parfait has expanded that goal to bringing down the entire Alteridem Foundation. For better or worse, however, Parfait is very easily distracted, so she only pursues that mission on the semi-rare occassion that she remembers it. Parfait will fight for anyone who pays her well, but prefers to work for distinctly bad people, making Arachnos a frequent customer. When not carrying out for-hire thuggery, Parfait often raids Legacy Chain hideouts and Circle of Thorns caves, looking for any useful magical information or objects.
Lorelei Nachtigall suspects that, underneath her scatterbrained, idiotic exterior, Nightingale Parfait is a hyper-competent evil genius with deep and far-reaching plans extending well beyond her apparent activities.
Powers and Abilities
As with Lorelei Nachtigall, Parfait has an inborn connection to the Netherworld, which she typically uses to summon dark energies for melee combat. Parfait has some other magical capabilities, as well.
