The Avery Kiss of Death

Not entirely proven, but it is rumored that any man who becomes romantically involved with an Avery woman meets an untimely death. Main examples being Alnitak Avery (killed by being maritally associated with criminal Verenna Avery) and Ves Trano (star-crossed lover of Kyja Avery, died in battle). Paladin flirted with Verenna and also met an untimely death. Though that demise is mostly credited to the hazards of heroism. TBD Avery Kiss of Death Victim: Tyzen, who is currently back in Republic custody. He's definitely going to die, and it's all Verenna's fault.
