Unidentified Cielcin

Prince-Captain of the Echidna - captured by LORD CASSIAN POWERS in ISD 15797 following the Battle of Second Cressgard.

“I’d gone to Echidna with the second wave,” he said. “Lord Powers had come and gone by then, took their prince back to Forum in triumph and paraded him before the Empress.”

“It,” the man corrected. “Paraded it before the Empress. The Cielcin don’t have sexes.”

“Quite right, sir,” Valen said, thinking of the pale xenobites with their smooth faces, their huge, black eyes and crowns of horn. Somehow, he always thought of them as male. He’d seen the official footage, seen Lord Cassian Powers present the inhuman prince to the Empress of the known universe in chains. It had died like a man, beheaded by the White Sword.
