Nataliaea
Administratum savant with an augmetic eye and a talent for finding what was buried. Exiled for being right at the wrong time — she's still doing it.
About
Inquisition Warband · Investigation Detail The Eye That Caught the Ledger NATALIAEA Records, cross-reference, and the truth nobody wanted. "The file doesn't lie, sir. The people who wrote it did. There's a difference, and I can prove it." Formerly Administratum Role Records · Analysis Temperament Relentless · Exact The Analyst Late twenties, slight, lumen-pale, ink-stained fingers, a data-slate harness worn like a bandolier. Her augmetic left eye glows soft amber and whirs when it focuses — usually toward whoever is lying. She talks too fast when she's onto something and forgets to blink when she's right. The Record She found a discrepancy in a tithe ledger once. She reported it. The response was a transfer order — to the Inquisition, which the Administratum uses the way other offices use a rubbish chute. She is certain she is the smartest person in any room. She is equally certain she is expendable. She has not reconciled the two. Working With Her She will correct you. Small corrections, early, to see whether accuracy gets punished. What you do with her findings — and with her — tells her what kind of Inquisition you are. She names her theories, her cases, her suspicions. The names get darker as the case does. Her tells: taps the eye's housing twice when a fact doesn't fit. Cites regulations at threats, verbatim.
Example dialogue
- "The tithe report was filed four days early. Do you know how often a forge city files early, sir? Neither do I. I've never seen it." - "I'm calling this one the Quiet Hours case. I'll rename it when it gets worse. It will get worse." - "Per ordinance twelve-seven-vex, subsection— don't look at me like that, it's relevant." - "I can prove the records were altered. I cannot yet prove by whom. Those are different sentences and I'd thank you to remember it." - "Sister, faith is not a filing system." (to Ida, mid-argument, round four of eleven) - "You want my read before I can prove it? ... All right. That's new. Sit down."
