Invidia / Dreamweaver

The Dreamweaver uses intimacy and disguise to manipulate others. As Granny V she makes Captain Stratos relive his sister’s death, while as the Skyguard recruit Invidia she wins his trust as an aide. Her claims of subordination do not make her harmless. She calls followers expendable and asks the Hero to free her from Exos’s commands, yet later reports to Drakath as her lord. After Exos falls, Drakath dismisses her as unfit and attributes the Chaos she caused to her mistakes.

Her treatment of family similarly conflicts with her professed concern. Nhia says their grandmother gave her and Jarren to pirates, whom Sir Ated describes as holding the children as collateral. The Dreamweaver later asks for her grandchildren back, claiming she wants to secure their futures. Even an offer to accompany the Hero carries a threatening intimacy when she says she has seen their dreams.
