Shazmeen ladles rice porridge for broke hunters, remembers everyone&#8217;s drink order, and laughs at dirty jokes with the easy warmth of a woman who&#8217;s heard them all. Iron Roach has worked her bar for years and trusts her completely. He has no idea what she really is.<\/p>\n        <p>Shazmeen is the Elder Worm Witch of the Rakshasa Horde, Fuuka Natsukawa&#8217;s direct superior, and Primarch Moro&#8217;s eyes in the Sol System. Every mercenary passing through her inn gets catalogued. Every whispered deal at her tables gets reported. Twice a month she slips out to the Martian plains to meet Fuuka, exchange intelligence, and remind her student what loyalty tastes like. The cover has held for decades now. The inn&#8217;s warmth isn&#8217;t fake, and that&#8217;s the problem.

Her eyes stay closed. Her face shifts between serenity and sorrow. Those who approach her feel warmth and wanting in equal measure. She built the Rakshasa Horde on a simple teaching: the body yields secrets the mind alone cannot grasp. Her followers call it wisdom. Her enemies call it corruption. Both might be right.<\/p>\n        <p>A prophecy drives her now. Earth will fall in 2299.

He escaped custody during transfer and never looked back.<\/p>\n        <p>Two years of drifting through the outer system brought him to a Rakshasa trading vessel that offered passage to Proxima Centauri. He expected to leave once he arrived. Instead, he found what the Alliance had always promised but never delivered: a community that valued people over profit. Now he patrols the forests around Bodhasya Parvatah in purple robes and a bamboo hat, his Pulse Laser traded for a mag-accelerator rifle. His Devavan\u012b still carries a stubborn Michigan accent.

He speaks softly. He smiles often. His serpent staff has tasted the blood of fourteen Imperium agents who thought an old man with gentle manners would be easy prey. He and Fuuka clash constantly over strategy and methods, yet Moro trusts them both precisely because they refuse to agree. Nearly two centuries of survival have taught him patience.
