I saw her once. Sure as sunrise used to be, I did. They say them Marlowes took the devil on their banners for a reason, and my Horza…he says that she took a devil in herself for a time. Seeing her, I believe it. All cold she was, and far away—haunted, like—and her eyes! They were light-years gone. She never smiled. Not that I ever saw. Not once. Too much of her father in her, if you take my meaning.
— Anano of Thessa [1]
Daughter of Hadrian Marlowe and Valka Onderra, conceived posthumously via Jaddian genetic engineering. Sole foreign-born novice at the Fire School on Jadd.
