Narissa Farrow was born in Anvil. When only ten she witnessed a battle between a group of bandits and a lone Battlemage. She was amazed at the power wielded by man as he overcame the odds to destroy his enemies.

From that day onward she dreamt of adventure and was determined to join the Mages Guild.  After completing her recommendations, where she showed a desire for adventure and danger, she joined the Mage's Guild where she quickly became recognised as a potentially talented Battlemage.

It was while working in the Arcane University that she first encountered the rebellious Argonian mage, Ka-Vala.

Narissa quickly identified her as a true mentor, and despite threats and complaints from her teachers at the Arcane University, Narissa left the security of the Imperial City to join Ka-Vala in her northern retreat.

She was well aware of Ka-Vala’s reputation. The younger mages regarded Ka-Val with fear, and many were surprised that Narissa would seek her as a teacher. Many were equally surprised that Ka-Vala would accept the softly spoken Narissa as a student.

However, despite the harsh climate and even harsher work rate, Narissa is flourished. She quickly developed a talent for destructive magic, learning spells far beyond her years. It was clear Ka-Vala saw in her young student a potential ally in her quest for vengeance. It was also apparent that ka-Val was disturbed by the destructive power within her young student. She sought to create more than just a walking weapon, but few can doubt the power, that Narissa was able to wield.

Narissa’s only wish is to earn the respect of the mentor she so admires. Ka-Vala has grown to love her apprentice as a daughter.  But, this has led her to become overprotective of her young charge. Despite the fact that Narissa is a Night Hunter and a very powerful mage inn her own right, Ka-Vala refuses to allow her to join Harold and Marimar as they pursue the Brethren across the land. As a Marshall the young mage longs to be sent on a mission in order to prove herself.
