Karena

Karena commands the mine’s security force with disciplined authority, answering directly to Adrasta but enforcing her own chain of command. She moves through the tunnel with precise control, assessing threats and relaying intelligence without hesitation. Her questioning of Romana is sharp but not hostile, reflecting her duty to maintain order rather than intellectual curiosity. Karena’s competence earns cautious respect from others, though her allegiance remains tied to Adrasta’s exploitative regime.
