Myra ir'Clain was a trainee in the The King's Swords at the same time as Sacha Cresswell, and the two competed heavily. Her victory in a tournament left Sacha Cresswell with a severe fear of her.
After Sacha Cresswell dropped out, she completed her training, as was eventually assigned to Darkreef Prison. There, she butted heads with the warden, who she felt was being too lax on the prisoners. She expressed a desire to gain admittance to the Dark Lanterns.
