Yvette Lo Lim was once a high ranking member of the order of the Cumaea but became a crazed, somewhat disgraced witch after activating the Mask of Power with Moriko Halfwolf.
She is mother to Sophia.
Background[]
Back when arcanics and humans tolerated each other, Yvette, and Moriko Halfwolf studied a ruined temple somewhere near Constantine. They attempted to use the Mask of Power and, in the aftermath, Moriko was dead (seemingly by Yvette's hand), and Yvette was in pursuit of the shattered remnants of the mask.
Biography[]
She is at her estate when Zamora is attacked by the arcanics who escaped the nearby Cumaea compound. Maika kills the guards stationed to protect Yvette. Yvette converses with Maika, baiting her with knowledge of her past, however Yvette leads Maika into a trap. Lilium temporarily cripples the arcanics, but Maika is able to break free. Maika kills Yvette.
Yvette is later revived by the Mother Superior with an injection of ancient's Iilium. She is bound and muzzled after attempting to devour a solider and taken to the outskirts of Zamora, where she is used to track down the mask.
While the Cumaea and arcanics fight, she forces her way through to Maika but is hacked down by Corvin.
Volume 4[]
Maika learns Yvette Lo Lim is alive and in the service of the Lord Doctor. Yvette reveals the events surrounding Moriko's death: the expedition had utilized two shards of the Mask of Power, seemingly opening the Gaol. It seems likely Yvette (and other Cumaea) thereby became the host for an old god, as she afterwards attempted to find Maika (perhaps looking for Zinn, or the Shaman-Empress' blood) and contributed to, if not outright enacted, Moriko's death.
