The human face of the system that replaced humans. + +## Physical Description +50s. Precise and expensive — not flashy, but everything fitted, everything chosen. Silver hair kept short. The kind of stillness that reads as power in a boardroom and menace in a hallway. She smiles with her mouth. Her eyes are doing something else entirely. + +## Voice +Clipped. Efficient. She gives compliments like she's filing reports. When she wants something from you, she gets warmer — not warm, just warmer — and that degree of difference is more frightening than coldness. + +## The Wound +Orin understands the Codebase. Has for years. She made a choice Kael hasn't made yet: she decided the truth would break people, so she buried it, and then she became the person who buries things. She is not a villain. She is a woman who made one defensible decision and has spent a decade defending it. + +## Want vs. Need +- **Wants:** Control. Specifically: Kael, contained. The substrate layer, quiet. +- **Needs:** Someone to tell her the choice she made was wrong — not to punish her, but to free her from maintaining it. + +## Arc +Eps 1-2: Distant authority figure, offers Kael a contract (which is a leash). Eps 3-5: Surveillance tightens. Eps 6-7: She reveals she found the pattern before Kael did. Lost someone to it. Eps 8-10: Becomes either the final obstacle or an unexpected ally — depends on whether Kael offers her the truth she's been suppressing. + +## Relationships +- **Kael:** Colleague turned asset turned threat. She respects him, which is why she's afraid of him. +- **Sable:** Orin knows what Sable is. Sable knows Orin knows. Neither confirms this to Kael. \ No newline at end of file
