Lorelei Lindigast is a powerful political leader in eastern Torre. She was a member of the House of Heads, co-founded the Magic Council under the High Court, and later went on to found her current organization, the Lindigast Company. She is best known as one of the first people to widely publicize the truth about the nature of Demons as a consensual fusion of Humans and Spirits, rather than a malevolent Spiritual possession of a human corpse (as was the widespread belief at the time).

During her rise to prominence in the House of Heads, Lindigast's origins were shrouded in mystery. She was incredibly private about her personal life, and chose only to expound upon her professional and academic exploits. Though it was believed for a long time that Lindigast was born in the Fens, she was actually born and raised in Old Stormloch. Her family situation is unknown, though many believe at least one of her parents died during the Incursion War while she was a teenager. However, this was made especially hard to predict during her time in the House of Heads and the High Court because nobody knew Lindigast's exact age. The only concrete information she surrendered was that she had pursued a research career studying Demons in the city of Riverloft during the last year of the war and the two decades that followed. She had done so due to grants she'd received from anonymous benefactors from the city. Riverloft was quickly becoming a bastion city for Demons in the wake of the war, and the local academic community believed that a kinder public and scientific opinion towards them was desperately needed.

Much of Lindigast's personal minutia was kept a secret during her time in Torrean government, so much so that many of her contemporaries would routinely launch invasive investigations against her behind closed doors. The Crownsfort's stigma against Demons was alive and well many years into Lindigast's tenure within the House of Heads, and her reported fraternizing with Demons during her studies spawned much conspiracy. Some members of the House, particularly those within the houses of Maxim and Voss, suspected that Lindigast herself was a Demon, despite her human appearance.

While it is clear to many of Lindigast's collaborators that she never intended to be a politician, she has risen to the occasion to the best of her ability and fights for the safety of Demons within Torrean society.
