From Tris to Trissy: A Forced Transformation
Trissy, once Tris, is a complex and tragic character in Lord of Mysteries, a shy man with a soft face. When he was a member of the Theosophy Order, he drank the Sequence 7 Witch potion of the Demoness Pathway, involuntarily transforming his gender in an attempt to live.
This is when he went missing, as the Nighthawks were looking for a man without knowing he had become a woman. As Trissy, she orchestrated the Alfalfa tragedy, escaped to Backlund, and later became a vessel for the Primordial Demoness. Haunted by destiny and manipulated by forces beyond his will, Trissy’s life is one of loss, identity, and irreparable sacrifice.
The Alfalfa Tragedy & Escaping Tingen
Klein Moretti and the Nighthawks, including Leonard Mitchell and Dunn Smith, were instrumental in discovering Trissy’s involvement with the Demoness Sect. From witnessing life-theft-induced murders to following the ritual murders to an altar in a mansion, their search for Trissy brought to light how deeply rooted the Demoness’ influence had become in Tingen.

The altar drama confrontation showed Trissy performing dark spells, almost summoning a demonic force. She fled, but Klein later identified her through Divination. He recognizes the same woman he had seen around Tris’s house, now completely transformed into Trissy.
A Puppet of the Primordial Demoness
Later in the story, we find out that Trissy is not just a rogue Beyonder but also the unwilling vessel of the Primordial Demoness. Every move she makes is tainted by manipulation, from her entanglements with the Demoness Sect to her doomed love affair with Prince Edessak Augustus. Her bond with Edessak also ends in a heartbreak filled with illusion and coercion.
Despite all her attempts to escape her fate, Trissy was bound by forces she could never fully break free from. She was used as a disguise for royal cooperation with the Demoness Sect and lived with the constant threat of being discarded at any moment. Her final confrontation with Edessak was raw and revealing, exposing both her suffering and his role in prolonging it.
Trissy’s Sacrifice and Legacy
Trissy’s final act was as courageous as it was tragic; she sacrificed herself to sabotage George III’s Apotheosis Ritual. It was a protest against the very forces that had tainted and manipulated her existence since birth. As there is debate surrounding whether she was good or bad, Trissy’s story stands as a haunting exploration of identity, trauma, and manipulation.
