So, in the D&D campaign I play in, our current adventure is all about PARENTS and FAMILY TRAUMA (yay!); this is the mama of our ship captain & genie warlock, Galit. We don't know much about her, except that she wasn't a very good mama and abandoned him when he was young. But she doesn't have much reason to be working against us, either, as he hasn't seen her in years - the current theory is that the BBEG pressganged her just to mess with us.
Only time will tell!!
