Background: Her family's- House Viamio of Korvosa- motto was "Only the muddy fox lives"  meaning that only an active person who does not mind getting muddy gets to progress in life. Her descendent, Lord High Magistrate Amycus Viamio lived and died by those words when he secretly hired mercenaries and sparked the Cousins' War by declaring House Endrin traitors to the crown. He failed and 1 year later, disgraced, he attempted to flee Korvosa but was apprehended by members of the Sable Company and imprisoned on Endrin Isle. Without his leadership, House Viamio collapsed and the Cousins' War came to an end. Needless to say, even 185 years later the name "Viamio" carries with it a special stigma especially when your city celebrates its 300th anniversary in 4707 AR.

Tola was 20 at the time, a student at the Acadamae well on her way to distinguishing herself in The Hall of Charms and Lies as an accomplished Enchantress and gifted illusionist. She had managed to keep her family name a secret until a rival from the Hall of Seeing and descendent of House Endrin uncovered it and targeted her in a series of increasingly vicious pranks and public humiliations. Disgraced, Tola disappeared from the Acadamae and Korvosa. Using her talents Tola took on the guise of Cassia, a merchant's daughter visiting the city from Taldor. She took up residence in an abandoned town house in the Heights and took to stealing from various noble houses using both magic and deception. Tola mostly targeted members and friends of House Endrin and Jeggare by crashing galas and other festivals poising as Cassia, disappearing during the party as a servant using Disguise Self or a mundane outfit, stealing what she could (or seeking dirt to ridicule her rivals) , before returning to finish out the evening.

This continued for 3 years before her good run of fortune ended and she was caught by the town house's owners who returned and found her living there. Tola was sentenced to either pay 3 year's rent or lose her right hand if she couldn't pay. The night before her sentence was to be carried out, a benefactor paid the fine and bailed her out, offering her a choice, work for the Cerulean Society (Thieves Guild of Korvosa) or lose more than her hand. In the months that followed, Tola continued to work as Cassia, stealing from the rich both their gold and secrets while slowly repaying with interest a debt she realizes might be beyond magic and guile.
