Lady Tryphon

"Our enemy is one Lady Tryphon, a Grail-long who has left a trail of broken souls through the best hotels on the Continent. She is beloved of the Grail and the Flowermaker. She inclines to intrigue, but she is no stranger to violence."

- After uncovering Tryphon's identity

Lady Tryphon, also known as St Tryphon and T.E., is a Long of the aspect. Her ascension to Long-hood is described in The Rose of Nuriel.

Apostle Obsonate Legacy
In the Apostle Obsonate Legacy, Lady Tryphon is one of the possible Long enemies who seek to prevent the ascension of a new Name.

When defeated, she leaves behind a letter urging the player to betray their Delight: "'My love, I am defeated, and you my vanquisher have won my devotion. I enclose a remaining scrap of myself, and go forth to meet my demise. Consume what remains of me, and we shall be one, as the Flowermaker has always intended. Reject your 'Delight'. Your destiny is far greater. You will ask: is this a last trick? A desperate stratagem to assure your betrayal? I can only answer: taste me, and see. I remain, your delicious friend, T.E.' [If you consume the enclosed morsel of Lady Tryphon, you can break free of your Mentor.]"

Studying the letter removes the Mentor card, but allows for a standard Sensation Ascension victory.

Trivia
Due to the fact that the Tryphon in The Rose of Nuriel is referred to as a man, and Lady Tryphon is referred to as a female, this would mean Lady Tryphon may be transgender, a feat made possible by the power of Grail. Alternately, Tryphon might just have been female in the player's History. Or perhaps, to those with a deep enough understanding of the Red Grail, "gender" is irrelevant, or illusory.
