Catarin Shiroko
Head of the Department of Conquest. She wanted to run the defense department but was seen as too aggressive by her uncle and aunt (Emperor Ilya VIII and Royal Consort Kariin). Instead, she was placed in the department overseeing the territories held by the empire but not officially part of it. She harbors great resentment for her position, but out of spite refuses to let hers be the one to fail. When Taras Shiroko was crowned, she was called back to the palace like Rustem Shiroko and has watched her cousin grow more unstable. She is more open to forgiveness as in her short stays in the palace, she was able to conclude that something horrible was going on. After confronting Andriy about it, he transferred her to one of the island territories and demoted her to vice head, which only solidified in her mind that something bad was happening. Since then, she had tried to return home. Taras allowed that and reinstated her position as head of the Department of Conquest simply because he knew she did not get along with Andriy. She is also a Pyr-esh . Like Zora Shiroko and Rustem, she becomes a close ally to Erasure in his quest to save Taras and fix the family.
