Bio: Ildiko was a gypsy. she traveled with her parents in a gypsy camp in a covered
wagon with about a dozen other families, on the borders of Hungary and Romania.
Ildiko then was called and moved in with her watcher, 70 year old Kurt Rendor.
When they gained word that the servants of Countess Elizabeth Bathory's castle
were dissappearing, they decided to gain access to the caslte. The only way to
go about that was for Ildiko to be picked by the Countess' ladies to be a
servant. And so Kurt bought her a new dress, and taught her manners, so that she
may get picked. And when the Countess's ladies, Jo' Ilona and Kateline came to
town she was chosen due to her muscles. Once inside the Castle, she discovered
the Countess' countless torture devices and chambers. Most of the girls that
were picked and sent with her were killed within a week, but she was kept around
for reasons unknown. She was assigned to tend to and feed the girls chained in
the dungeons, and was caught by the Countess observing the Iron Maiden. Shortly
thereafter, the Countess drugged Ildiko and strapped her into the Iron Maiden,
draining her blood and bathing in it, ritual she used to keep young looking.
