Nettie Mutua

A sharp-featured black woman that appears to be in her late fifties, Nettie probably doesn't look much like a supernatural being, but she doesn't half look like you'll regret getting on her bad side for the rest of your life.

The leader of the Styxside Krewe, Nettie is one of the oldest Sin-Eaters in London. She's been around since at least the 70s, and seems to know from memory almost every Sin-Eater and ghost in town. Her eyes are hard and focussed, once she is paying attention to you, you can't help but defer to her politely.

Nettie is a very opinionated Sin-Eater. To her, the Great Below is the inherited right and responsibility of every Sin-Eater, and she scorns those who avoid it. She is said to spend a great deal of time wandering the tunnels of Styxside, often alone. Her Krewe love and respect her, but they seem a little scared by her sometimes.

Anyone that makes contact with the Styxside Krewe is almost definitely going to meet Nettie, though not right away. If you want to make a deal with the group, you contact one of the other members and they'll take you to her so she can get a good look at you and decide whether or not she wants to work with you.

Most Sin-Eaters tend to either view her with a great deal of respect or as an over-bearing and aggressive old woman that wants the community to be something it's not.
