Biography

The Four Divine Beasts Clan

During the clan's siege, the Matriarch observes Bebe's unusual abilities and joins the elders dealing with the ambush caused by Forhan's betrayal. Once the traitor is exposed, she acknowledges the failure and apologizes to Beirut rather than hiding behind clan pride. She also warns that continuing the war unchanged will consume the Four Divine Beasts clan's remaining Elders, supporting withdrawal and an end to ruinous attrition. Much later, news that Linley has become a Sovereign astonishes her; she bows in respect and explains that the Chief Sovereign of Destruction brought the report. (Chapters 604–718, 769–770, 785)
