Zephyr was once a tavern wench who was approached by the other Elementals, when they desired an air user for their group. She more than fulfilled her part. She could generate powerful winds with ease as well as being able to also demonstrated mental powers, sufficient to control other minds or cast illusions. The other Elementals Hellfire, Hydron and Magnum had a tendency to treat her as an inferior, though she was the one sent as the advance force in all of their missions. She eventually turned on them and aided in their defeat. Zephyr eventually joined the Asp and Miles Olddan in their adventures. When the Elementals located her again, Hydron swiftly dehydrated her. Blackmailing the two adventurers to hand over the Ruby Scarab in exchange for Zephyr’s survival.
