Lyre

Lyre is a male member of the Clasp who was tasked with kidnapping Vex'ahlia for Berin Abenard, whose identity was unknown to Vex'ahlia. After he was prevented from doing so by her brother Vax'ildan, he was Polymorphed using a stick made of Human tongues as punishment, turning him into a permanent copy of Vex'ahlia. From that point onward, Lyre was referred to using Vex'ahlia's identity, using both her name and pronouns.

When asked what happened to "her", Vax assumed "in a dungeon, in a rubber suit", implying that Lyre is still in Westruun as a captive of Abenard. Upon learning that there was another person who looked exactly like her, Vex'ahlia expressed interest in finding out who her stalker was.

Trivia

 * Before the publication of Kith & Kin, any detail of Lyre's identity before he was transformed was unknown. Some fans have unofficially dubbed this copy of Vex'ahlia as the Black Vex'ahlia, a reference to the Black Dahlia, an unidentified Los Angeles woman who was a victim to a particularly lurid murder. Like Vex'ahlia's stalker during the campaign, the Black Dahlia's murderer was never found.
 * Vex'ahlia's stalker, the Despoiler of Flesh, and this doppelganger were written out-of-game by Liam and Matt in preparation for Pike's entry into the campaign to explain why Vax'ildan was a member of the Clasp when she first met Vax.
 * When the story about the doppelganger was originally retold during, Vax'ildan said that the Vex copy was originally a child rapist he had abducted on the Clasp's orders. Though it is plausible that the Clasp member was also a child rapist, this article assumes that Matt's version of events is canonical, especially as Liam also stated that he was struggling to remember the details while Vax'ildan was telling Vex'ahlia.
 * Vex'ahlia is not aware of Lyre's current whereabouts, though Laura stated that if Vex ever found "her", Vex would hire the doppelganger as a decoy for public events.
