Biography
Emliss became the captain of a merchant vessel, the Roan, before the beginning of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One.

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One
Emliss is approached by Suvi, Ame, and Eursulon upon Captain Karkoth's recommendation for passage to Port Talon. She agrees to take them to Port Talon in exchange for a few gold pieces and help loading the ship's cargo. On the journey, while alone with Ame, Emliss discovers that Ame is a witch, causing a change in her demeanor. She tells Ame that she has known many witches, surprising Ame.

Emliss' face and shadow begin to change, and a shadow slithers out of her mouth. Ame attempts to escape, but the shadow grabs her and drains the strength and life from her body. Ame collapses, unconscious, as dark bruises form everywhere the shadow touched her. Eursulon and Suvi come to Ame's aid and attack Emliss. The shadows avoid Suvi's Imperial Magic, allowing the spells to hit Emliss' body directly and take the full force of the attacks.

Emliss eventually falls to the ground bleeding, and her blank expression changes to sudden pain and confusion. Suvi finds a Rhuvian word tattooed on her neck: "Chalice". Upon seeing the tattoo, Suvi slits Emliss' throat per her training. Ame performs funeral rites on Emliss' body, turning it to ash. Before disembarking at Port Talon, Eursulon finds an older member of the crew named Madge and chooses her to replace Emliss as captain.
