Morrin was once a member of the church. Her backstory was quite tragic, as she lost everyone she once held dear in a natural disaster. During her time in the church, she uncovered the truth about that disaster, which led her to turn her back on the church and become known as a witch.
Cedric did not think he would meet her before the main story began. Although he knew she was always moving and fighting against the church, her existence was supposed to be revealed later in the story. However, if he wanted to survive the assassination attempts, he would need her information.
"Are you with the church?" Morrin the Witch asked with a frown, the tattoos on her arm glowing with a dangerous light. Cedric raised his hands in surrender before she could begin attacking him.
"If I were with the church, would I be standing here instead of reporting you?" Cedric replied, shaking his head. "If anything, we could be friends."
