Wuffa (died 870s), also known as Death-Boon, was a Zealot of the Order of the Ancients who operated in England in the 9th century.
Biography[]
Nothing is known about Wuffa's childhood. Agile and callous, Wuffa took pleasure in watching her victims suffer. She only wounded them to the point of having them feel and succumb to a slow, painful death. She was even quoted to say, "I enjoy watching them bleed to death. You have to savor the moment." Her sadistic tendencies made her ripe pickings for the Order to induct her into the Zealots. Within the Order, Wuffa became a great and loyal drinking buddy to the Order member, The Ash-Spear.[1]
In her rounds, Wuffa patrolled the area along the roads of East Anglia. It was during one such patrol that she was targeted and then killed by the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir, who was allied with the Hidden Ones. Afterwards, Eivor received a clue among Wuffa's personal effects. The clue, mentioning the title, The Ash-Spear, detailed that Eivor needed to investigate a tall Roman tower northeast of Northwic in East Anglia to determine The Ash-Spear's identity.[1]
