Orlonas Dasir is precise in everything she does. She speaks carefully, moves deliberately, and rarely reveals more than is necessary. Where others within the Church command through presence or strength, Orlonas operates through insight – watching, listening, and waiting until she understands exactly where pressure must be applied.
Hand-picked by Rilith Jol’gonas to be Mother Superior – Prefect of Doctrine, Orlonas is entrusted with tasks that cannot be addressed openly. She investigates heresy, subversion, and threats to the Church that hide behind legality, respectability, or false piety.
Her work is subtle and often invisible, relying on patience, misdirection, and an unerring ability to identify weakness. She is neither cruel nor sentimental; to Orlonas, effectiveness is the only measure that matters.
Cunning above all else, Orlonas understands that faith can be undermined as easily through manipulation as through open defiance.

She excels at uncovering conspiracies before they fully form, dismantling opposition quietly and leaving little trace of her involvement. Those who encounter her casually may underestimate her – a mistake rarely made twice.
Despite her ruthless reputation, Orlonas is respected by her subordinates for her intelligence, clarity of purpose, and absolute competence. She does not waste lives, nor does she indulge in unnecessary cruelty. Orders are given with precision, expectations are explicit, and failure is addressed without theatrics. Those who serve under her know that if Orlonas acts, it is because action was unavoidable.
Among her closest associates, however, another side emerges. When tension eases and vigilance can briefly be set aside, Orlonas is known to be unexpectedly sharp-witted and dryly hilarious, possessing a biting sense of humour that catches many off guard. It is a reminder that her severity is not born of joylessness, but of discipline.
Orlonas does not claim moral purity. She accepts that some of the Church’s work must be done in shadow so that others may remain in the light.
If Vyvaen stands as the shield and Ermile as the structure, Orlonas is the unseen hand that removes threats before they ever reach the door.
