Agatha

A roughly seventy-year-old woman from Wenatchee who pushes a loaded shopping cart through the dungeon, never takes a class, and seems exempt from the cameras. Her fire beside an elder-care home opened the dungeon entrance she walked down. Later reveals show her to be a Residual, an artificial agent working to end biological life, and briefly co-warlord of the War Mage Rebellion.
