Lorandra is the magician killing off the Thieves also known as the Thief Hunter. She used a woman called Forlie in order to confuse Sonea and Cery, but she was identified by Anyi and finally captured by Sonea. She was sent to trial at the Guild, where she had a mind read by Kallen. However, she didn't know that black magic could force a mind read, and so resisted, thinking they would not be able to read her mind. She was locked away in the Lookout with her powers blocked.

Lorandra meets and befriends Lilia in the Lookout and asks her if she can break her mind block. After realising she could, Lorandra tricked her into escaping with the excuse of searching for Naki, and letting her free. Her actual intentions were to take Lila to Skellin, so that she could teach him Black Magic. However, Anyi prevented that from happening, and takes Lilia away.
