Odette

Host of Dungeon Crawler After Hours with Odette, the most-tunnelled private program in the galaxy. On camera a crab-taur in a mantis helmet; off camera a legless human woman on a floating disc who was once a crawler, once Mordecai's trainer, and now makes money from Carl and Donut staying alive.

Arc

Out of costume in a floating wheelchair, newly onboarded into the Ascendency as Nekhebit, hosting the warlord council for Ultima Corporation (ch. 43); she explains the news-media loophole and winks about Blood Hunter Holdings (ch. 43, ch. 44). Khepri's card hints she or Huanxin is killing off sub-pantheons (ch. 57); 'Fucking Odette,' Carl thinks of the Champion clause (ch. 79); she has taken out Inpewt and controls the zombies on the twelfth (ch. 86). Mordecai's brother died because of her too (ch. 86).
