character

Agatha

The Other Warlord

Warlord forced upon the war mages, named by Akuma as an enemy to everyone who must be hunted on the tenth floor.

Story so far

In Warlord Chat, Akuma tells Carl that Agatha was not a war mage by choice but a warlord forced upon them in order to gain system access. He blames her for the so-called action items — all but Conscription — and calls her an enemy to Carl, to the war mages, and to everyone and everything. She slipped away before Akuma could kill her.

Akuma claims she has a method that lets her jump to the Waiting Room and reappear outside an open stairwell, meaning she will not be seen again on this floor; she will have to be found on the Tenth Floor. His last words on the subject are that she seeks to kill us all, which — combined with Epitome Tagg's stunned remark that the orc princess was right about blowing The Failsafe — leaves Carl badly unsettled.

Appearance

An old lady by Akuma's description; not seen in person this chapter.

Role

Fugitive warlord identified as the true danger behind the floor's atrocities.

Relationships

Akuma — Fellow warlord who wants her dead and asks Carl to do it.
Carl — Named as her enemy; now hunting her.
Tenth Floor — Where she must be found, having escaped the ninth.
