Ithalia

Lilastien's granddaughter -- young, pretty in her human-style Tera Alon body, and visibly distressed by her grandmother's disappearance. She has searched Lilastien's quarters herself and reports what is missing: "Her diagnostic pad, her medical bag, all of her important enchantments, and some personal items."

Stiff about Alka Alon honor ("Alka Alon do not make a practice of employing assassins"), and frankly reminds Tyndal that the Council calls her grandmother "Rebel" for good reason. Once Ameras is needed to open the Waypoint, Lilastien dispatches Ithalia to fetch her out of seclusion -- the action that makes the climactic Waypoint journey possible. Quietly pursued from afar by Tandine's brother, who writes her bad poetry.
