Iseul Kim
Weapons Specialist and Warden of Skye
Iseul Kim is a weapons consultant and Skye’s Western Warden, friendly and capable in public but willing to betray others for Iona. Her loyalty rests on the belief that Iona rescued her and wanted her as a daughter. Iona bought her when her father tried to sell her, and had her family killed. In service to the woman she regards as her mother, Iseul steals Seabase Undine’s research and takes hostages to maintain Iona’s control.
Her love for her adopted siblings eventually proves stronger than her obedience. Learning what Iona did to them leads Iseul to help the children escape and offer Skye’s peaceful surrender to Victoria. She nevertheless wants a future with Iona, pleading with her to abandon power and come with her. Even after Iona stabs her, Iseul stays behind to give Indradeep and Illaria time to escape. Her rejection of her mother’s rule does not mean she has stopped wanting her mother’s love.
