Eliza Creststeel Guild Master of the Elite Thievery Co. Eliza was born in Southampton, a major English shipping port, into the Creststeel family - owners of a small, but profitable trading company. She grew into a vibrant, strapping lass, nearly as tall as her older brother, John and just as independent. However, business dealings over the years had left the firm and her middle-class family in debt. John took over the company, but to help with more immediate money issues her parents urged her to marry into the family of a competing firm.
