A foundling raised by Sandpoint's previous religious leader, a man named Ezakien Tobyn, with a childhood both lonely and sad.
Her inearthly beauty made the other children either jealous or shy, and many of them took to playing cruel jokes on her.
The adults in town weren't much better, many of the superstitious Varisians viewed Nualia as blessed by Desna, a sort of 'reverse deformity'.
Rumors that her touch or proximity could cure warts and rashes, that locks of her hair brewed into tea could increase fertility, and that her voice could drive out evil spirits led to a succession of awkward and humiliating requests over the years.
Poor Nualia felt more like a freak than a young girl by the time she came of age, so when Tsuto, a local orphan, began to court her, she practically fell into his arms in gratitude.

Knowing her father wouldn't approve of a relationship (he wanted her to remain pure), they kept the affair secret. They met many times in hidden places, a favorite being an abandoned smuggler's tunnel under town that Tsuto discovered.
Before long, Nualia realized she was pregnant. When Ezakien discovered her condition, his reaction to her indiscretions furthered her shame and anger.
He forbade her to leave the church, lectured her nightly, and made her pray to Desna for forgiveness.
In so doing he unknowingly nurtured her growing hate.

Seven months pregnant she miscarried her child, a child whose shape she only glimpsed before father took it away.
Conceived in the smuggler's tunnels in close proximity to a shrine to Lamashtu (goddes of monstrous births), the child was deformed and horrific.
The double shock of losing a child and the realization she had been carrying a fiend in her belly was too much.
Fueled by the wrath from below and the taint of Lamashtu, Nualia became obsessed with the cruel demon goddess and the convisction that her wretched life was inflicted on her by those around her.
She came to see her angelic heritage as a curse, and Lamashtu showed her how to expunge this taint from her body and soul, replacing it with caos and cruelty.
Nualia awoke someone new, someone who didn't flinch at what Lamashtu asked of her. She jammed her father's door shut as he slept, lit the church on fire, and fled Sandpoint.
The locals assumed Nuali had burned in the fire, a tragedy made all the worse by the death of Father Tobyn as well.
Yet Nuali lived. She fled to Magnimar, where she enlisted the aid of a group of Norgorber-worshiping killers known as the Skinsaw Cult.
Seeing a kindred spirit in the tortured woman, the mysterious leader of the Cult gave Nualia a medallion bearing a carving of a seven-pointed star called a 'Sihedron Medallion'.

Nualia returned to Sandpoint and found herself drawn to the brick wall in the smuggler's tunnels. She bashed down the wall, and in so doing, discovered the Catacombs of Wrath and the Quasit Erylium.
