The cats are the children of Ubasti, intelligent creatures commonly thought to be spies and manipulators. A cat can have one or many tails, walk on two feet, and handle weapons. Some call themselves nekomancers and the most revered are the poets.
Background[]
Cats have watched the Shaman-Empress' bloodline since her time and took notice of Moriko Halfwolf before she became world-renowned. Thus, they learned early of Maika Halfwolf's birth.
History[]
Volume Four[]
Following the fallout of the old god appearing over Pontus, it is revealed that cats are immune to the old gods' "shadow" that otherwise drives arcanics into rabid, murderous frenzies.
Ren reveals that he was sent by the Dusk Court cats to watch over Maika as a child but was forced to serve the Doctor after Moriko took Maika away.
