Braids

Braids, Cabal Minion was a powerful -- and very mad -- Dementia Caster for the Cabal. Unlike most dementia casters Braids maintained a fair degree of lucidity, making her much more useful to the Cabal beyond simply being a pit-fighter. As a cabalist, the name "Braids" was an assumed name, with her real (secret) name being Fulla. However, unlike most other cabalists, Braids seems to have been extremely lax about keeping her secret name an actual secret, as a lot of people speaking to her called her by her secret name rather than her cabalist name.

She was placed in charge of the cabalists that were sent to the Mer Empire capital to catalogue the valuable artifacts held in the vaults. While there, she made a deal with Laquatus to find the Mirari for him in exchange for being able to keep any interesting artifacts she found. However, her team did not find the Mirari as it instead was first found by Emperor Aboshan, who used it to sink a third of Otaria and also accidentally killed himself in the process. Afterwards, the Mirari fell into Braids' hands, but she was immune to its lures as her mind was already occupied with her dementia visions. Instead of using the orb, she merely pocketed it and made her way back to Cabal City to give it back to the First.

Upon Braids' return to the city, she soon found herself back in the pits fighting alongside Skellum in a rigged fight against an Order squad. She put on a decent show for the audiences but was laid unconscious by an Order Justicar. However, unlike Skellum she escaped the fight with her life intact. Afterwards, she presumably recovered and carried on fighting until the Patriarch was exiled by Chainer. Following this, she began seeing visions of Kuberr that told her to go south to Aphetto, which she did just to make him be quiet. Along the way she ran into the Patriarch, who told her to go ahead of him and prepare Aphetto for his arrival. This she did and was rewarded by becoming his second-in-command.

While in Aphetto, Braids again met with Ambassador Laquatus, who tried to make an alliance with the Cabal to help recover the Mirari from Kamahl. She passed the request onto the Patriarch, who agreed and dispatched Braids to hunt Kamahl down with five serpent assassins that Chainer had originally created to keep guard on the Patriarch. The death squad made swift progress tracing Kamahl, slaughtering several Order patrols, a small mountain village and Kamahl's three former pupils along the way. She tracked Kamahl to Krosa, where she met up with Cabal reinforcements and some Order troopers that they teporarily allied with, as well as Laquatus, who had organised the truce. Along the way, Braids zombified Balthor, but he broke loose and began hunting Laquatus. Braids then left the forest along with the rest of the cabalists when the truce broke down and happened upon Seton's dwelling, where the centaur was caring for Jeska. She then killed the centaur and kidnapped Jeska to take her before the Patriarch.

In the end, like many other Otarians, she fell in a state of fanatism for Karona, and ended up trapped in her own dementia space. Whether she is still trapped there or has died in it hasn't been revealed yet.

The idea for her character came from a piece of art for Odyssey that was innapropriate for its original card, and her ability was taken from a card that wasn't used in Invasion.
