Character · Book 8, A Parade of Horribles

Agatha

A homeless woman with a shopping cart, an IKEA bag of spray paint and a pink flamingo with an arrow through its head, who set fire to the eldercare facility and walked down the dungeon's stairs cackling. Level two without ever going through the tutorial. She is edited out of the recap episode, and her cart is not what it seems.

Arc

Carl lists 'An Agatha problem' among the things waiting for him (ch. 3). The war mages fear the remnants in the Cabaret's dimension 'that Agatha can and will wake' (ch. 38); she has vanished, which makes Carl nervous (ch. 73). The AI's history names 'Residuals. Agatha’s team' as the ones shed by the Eulogist's security instance (ch. 92), and its closing images show her among the Ascendency's contenders (epilogue).
