Arc

Mordecai is sure Sekhmet is under her thumb (ch. 8); she 'wasted' Tem the moment he appeared, the AI says, and his skull blocks the third heat's finish (ch. 32). Her husband is Harry Tisch, the Crest who bought every show Donut has named and is buying the orc empire (ch. 88). In the AI's closing images she appears as 'Odette as Nekhebit' among the Ascendency's contenders (epilogue).
