Khan Din Steiner plucked Eleni Riaz from Gamma Galaxy when she was a young ristar Star Commander and made her his attaché. Two years later, after winning the Riaz Bloodname, she was unanimously chosen by a conclave of ecKhans and Galaxy commanders as Clan Cloud Cobra's Loremaster, a position she has held for thirteen years. She is not a clever tactician and has seen no real combat during her tenure as Loremaster, but she has a keen sense of order and long-term strategy. In addition to serving as ecKhan for the Tanacle Cloister-a group that claims a fellowship of thirty-five Cobra warriors-she has taken charge of organizing the Clan's logistics and training needs. Of average height, she has piercing violet eyes, their startling color a side effect of her genetically enhanced vision.
