Lily Howard

Lady Lily Howard is a visitor to Rennes-le-Chateau during the events of Gabriel Knight 3. She is a former stage actress and socialite. It is strongly suggested that she is in a lesbian relationship with Estelle Stiles, her companion, though this is never said outright.

Though once wealthy, Howard lost her estate years before the events of Gabriel Knight 3. She and Stiles are in Rennes-le-Chateau to find treasure, with the intent to use it to buy back the estate. Howard is an adherent of Dr Wen, a Chinese archeologist who supposedly found artifacts in the area, though little is said about what his actual theories are.

Personalty and traits
Lady Howard is a middle-aged thespian with a dramatic personal style. She and her companion, Estelle, are clearly on a mission, and Lady Howard is not the sort to tolerate anyone standing in her way. They're an odd two-some, with a feminist-sounding theory involving things like the "Arc of Nut" and the "Womb of Isis". You would have to be on the pair's own personal planet to make heads or tails of it. But what is clear is that their mission is anything but a lark. Indeed, a sheen of desperation underlies Lady Howard's elaborate make-up job like so much skin cream.

Yes. You definitely get the message that not only do they believe they'll find what they seek, but that they must.
