Aletheia

The Isu whose recorded consciousness lives in the Staff of Hermes, Aletheia was her civilization's heretic: the one who argued the successors — humanity — should be left free, even from Isu wisdom. To Basim she is not doctrine but devotion: Loki's lover across incarnations, the voice that kept him sane in the Grey's nine-hundred-year waiting room. To Kassandra and Layla, keepers of her Staff, she was the burden's explanation — why balance mattered more than power. She is the rare Isu whose plan for the future involves not ruling it.
