Cartesian

The Lords of Order need an agent on the plane to help push their agenda in the world, and to help fight the war against Chaos. The end result is that the balance is maintained. It is important to the Lords that the agent is human, as free will is sometimes necessary to make judgement calls in extreme cases.

However, that free will also brings with it insubordination at times. Both of the most recent holders of the mantle of power have refused orders and thus lost the role. Randal Duran refused to use the Ataxianate to further the cause of Order, instead destroying it. Likewise, his nephew Connor Duran refused to commit murder against a young woman believed to be a nexus in the war between Chaos and Order.

It is unclear what kind of agent the next Cartesian will be. She has made four appearances in Colonial Bay, and appears to be both fairly muscular and very adept with magic. She's clearly superior with magic, when compared to her immediate predecessor. How her facility with the art compares with Randal's former ability is less clear.

She also seems to really hate Connor, due to him effectively being a traitor the cause. It is likely that she would feel the same way toward Randal.
