A distant cousin of the naga royal family, married to Rishi, who died in the Temple of Khepri.
Rishi's marriage to a distant cousin of the naga royal family gave him standing in Princess Vinata's court — enough to serve as her representative at the Pre-Production Meeting — but not enough blood to bind him into the Sepsis Whore quest that killed the rest of the court.
She died in the Temple of Khepri with the princess. Rishi tells Carl he was quite fond of her despite the fact that she had not yet given him a clutch, but that he had already grieved her death starting the moment the mantis team fled the Faction Wars — at which point he made peace with his own inevitable death as well. Carl finds his composure telling.
The marriage tie that gave Rishi court access without court obligations.
