51st Legion intelligence. She is correct about the threat. She is wrong about almost everything else.
Late 50s, close-cropped silver hair, Legion officer's coat worn like a second skin. She operates from Obelisk station orbiting Nightfall, running intelligence operations out of a small suite that looks nothing like a command center and functions entirely like one. She drinks tea. She reads Ur archaeology papers for relaxation. She has been trying to stop this for eight years and nobody has listened until now.
Ohe discovered anomalous Way readings in Procyon six years ago while running anti-piracy operations. She cross-referenced them with sealed Hegemony archives and found references to the original survey team. She has a partial picture — she knows there are artifacts, she knows they're linked, she knows activation would be catastrophic. She does not know what's on the other side of the Hantu gate. She thinks that's the point — that it doesn't matter, because opening it is the risk.
Governor Varn won't support her formally. Issuing warrants would require explaining why, which would require declassifying the survey files, which Varn refuses to do because it would expose that House Malklaith knew and said nothing. Ohe is operating illegally by Hegemonic standards — an intelligence officer running sector-wide surveillance without House authorization.
Ohe is not the crew's enemy unless they make her their enemy. She is trying to prevent the same outcome the Hidden Faction is trying to prevent. She just has worse methods and more firepower. In Act 3, if the crew is working Path B or Path C, she is a powerful and complicated ally.
