- Camilla Hect & Palamedes Sextus[1]

Camilla Hect (HEKT) is the cavalier primary and Warden's Hand of the Library to the Sixth House heir, Palamedes Sextus. Camilla and her necromancer accept the Emperor’s summons to Canaan House.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Camilla Hect is born in the Library on the Sixth House. She passes her examinations to be Palamedes Sextus’s cavalier at twelve years old.[3] Throughout her childhood, she maintains a friendship with Seventh House heir, Dulcinea Septimus. At one point, she makes a drawing of Dulcinea's mock measurements that Dulcinea sent in a letter.[4] Camilla never sought a Cohort placement.[3]

When Camilla Hect is thirteen (and nine months), she and her necromancer, Palamedes, attend Archivist Juno Zeta to the unsealing of Doctor Donald Sex’s study. At first, Camilla and Palamedes have no idea who Doctor Sex is, but Zeta explains his infamy as a scholar in the Copper Gardens. On their way down to Doctor Sex’s study, Archivist Zeta discusses the chain of deaths, bureaucratic red tape and general shrewdness that has allowed her to claim the room. At the door of the study, Zeta’s team of four scholars await them. After Zeta unseals and unlocks the door, everyone files into the study.[5]

As everyone takes a cursory look around the study, Archivist Zeta warns everyone that while they can leave thalergy signatures and remain unmasked, they can’t touch anything until the examination is signed off. Palamedes discovers two skeleton hands on the study's desk, which raises everyone’s curiosity. After no other remains are immediately found, Zeta orders Julia to perform psychometry on the hands. After Julia tests the hands twice, the reading comes back at 200 years old, which is unseemly as the study had been sealed for 460 years. Zeta’s team devolves into light arguments about form colors before Archivist Zeta calls them together. She orders them to get a stack of red forms, someone from Archeology, and hot drinks and sends them on their way. Zeta resolves to stay in the study with Palamedes and Camilla.[5]

As Archivist Zeta writes the initial report, Palamedes pulls Camilla into a corner to discuss the discrepancies in the hand bones. Palamedes and Camilla examine the hand bones with Camilla’s pocket torch to discover inconsistencies in the hands’ treatment sealant. Palamedes and Camilla ask Archivist Zeta about the room’s service tunnels after finding a tunnel grille right above the desk. Archivist Zeta opens her map of the floor, finding the correct service tunnel and the appropriate maintenance door. Before Zeta goes any further, she questions Palamedes about what he believes they’ll find (more bones) and if it is up to regulation (it is). After Zeta agrees, they head to the maintenance door. Due to Zeta’s claustrophobia and Palamedes’s allergies, Camilla goes into the service tunnel. Camilla is able to discover a skeleton servitor that is missing its hands above Doctor Sex’s study.[5]

Zeta, Palamedes and Camilla head back to the study and ponder the situation at hand. Eventually, Zeta’s team returns with two Archeology department members. As the situation is explained to the Archeology department, one of them questions if Palamedes has touched anything. Palamedes affirms that he hasn't and that he knows what happened in Doctor Sex’s study. As Palamedes dramatically cleans his glasses, Camilla states that she knows what happened but not why it did. Palamedes provides an explanation of his theory of the hand bones in Doctor Sex’s study. When the Archeology department members, Zeta, and her team question Palamedes about his theory, he states that he needs to touch one object to prove why Dr. Sex came back to his study. He cites a handbook provision that would allow him. After a show of hands, Palamedes, with thick gloves, pushes an extended bar into a wooden sphere on the desk. The wooden sphere becomes un-seamed and Palamedes opens it to reveal a note made of real paper. Upon realizing what it was, everyone pats themselves on the back and shakes Palamedes and Camilla’s hands several times.[5]

After Palamedes and Camilla finish their dinner, Archivist Zeta meets them to tell them about Doctor Sex’s exhumation and the wooden sphere. Zeta and Palamedes get into a light argument about his Scholar’s report and the one extra grade point he may receive from it. After Zeta leaves, Palamedes and Camilla devolve into laughter about Doctor Sex’s name.[5]

Gideon the Ninth[]

Act I[]

Camilla and Palamedes arrive at Canaan House with the other postulants. As with all other cavaliers, Camilla receives an iron key ring from Teacher. Camilla listens to Teacher explain the Lyctor competition, but does not participate in the conversation. The Sixth House postulants are guided to their room by skeleton constructs.[6]

Act II[]

On the day that Harrowhark Nonagesimus goes missing, Camilla and Palamedes argue about the illogical psychometric timestamps of Canaan House. When Palamedes spots Gideon Nav on the stairs behind them, Camilla immediately attacks her. In their fight, Gideon smashes Camilla’s offhand blade into the wall, which Camilla responds by kicking her dagger into her hand and back hand-springing down the stairs. Palamedes intervenes with a necromantic shield to end their fight. Palamedes infers that Gideon is looking for Harrowhark and informs her that he last saw Harrowhark in the Facility, but he doesn’t believe that she ever left. A panicked Gideon attempts to get through the locked hatch door and breaks her vow of silence to demand Palamedes’s help. After Palamedes agrees, Camilla tosses him their keys and all three postulants descend into the Facility. Palamedes guides them to the sanitizer room, where Harrowhark has created a restorative bone cocoon. The Sixth House postulants complete a brief medical assessment, diagnose Harrowhark with dehydration and exhaustion, and release her into Gideon’s care. After Palamedes warns the Ninth House postulants, he and Camilla leave.[7]

All of the postulants are invited to Abigail Pent and Magnus Quinn’s anniversary dinner party. Neither Camilla’s conversations or seating position are remarked upon during the dinner by Gideon.[8]

Act III[]

After Abigail and Magnus’s murders, the postulants attempt to raise Abigail and Magnus’s spirits to learn about their deaths. When Isaac Tettares and Jeannemary Chatur get carried away in their attempt, Camilla confiscates their knives and bandages their arms. Camilla assists Palamedes by sketching out the crime scene and providing tools and water. When Teacher arrives after prompting from the Second House, he argues that the bodies need to be brought up out of the Facility. Camilla argues that it is an active investigation and that the postulants are safe down in the facility, Teacher curtly remarks that she is "absolutely wrong.”[9]

The postulants discuss with Teacher about Facility access and Palamedes and Camilla confirm their access. The Sixth House postulants watch as the Second, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Houses argue amongst themselves and with Teacher. When the Fourth House postulants suggest that the supposed monster should be hunted, Palamedes shuts down their idea firmly and explains that they must proceed scientifically to gather more information about Abigail and Magnus’s deaths. With Camilla and Coronabeth Tridentarius’s support, Palamedes announces that the postulants should cooperate enough to warn each other if they notice anything usual in the Facility.[10]

At some point after the discussion with Teacher, Cytherea the First, disguised as Dulcinea Septimus, approaches the Sixth House about completing the avulsion chamber. They decline her offer on account of the high likelihood of Camilla sustaining permanent brain damage.[11]

After the Ninth House completed the avulsion chamber, Camilla is sent by Palamedes to check in on Gideon. Upon arrival at Ninth’s rooms, Camilla is surprised to find Gideon battered, but alive. Camilla examines Gideon, pronounces her healthy, and invites her to breakfast. At the dining hall, they come across Coronabeth attempting to secure a hatch key from Teacher. When Palamedes offers to escort Coronabeth down to the Facility, Camilla is dismayed at his offer. Then, Coronabeth attempts to bribe Palamedes with money, knowledge, and connections if he helps her get the same keys as Ianthe Tridentarius. Camilla doesn’t partake in the argument between Second House, Coronabeth, and Palamedes or when Teacher intervenes between them.[12]

After breakfast, Palamedes leads Camilla and Gideon to the temporary mortuary where Abigail and Magnus’s bodies are stored. Upon their arrival, the Second House postulants are just leaving, angry, because they found nothing. Judith Deuteros asks Palamedes to join her and put an end to the competition. He rejects her outright. As Palamedes and Judith’s conversation sours, Camilla and Marta Dyas both grab at their weapons’ handles. But Judith calls off Marta, and the Second House leaves the mortuary. Inside the mortuary, Palamedes takes Magnus's ring and a section of his pocket in order to locate his key ring through psychometry. Camilla seems reluctant to share information with Gideon, but Palamedes states that there is no value in staying silent anymore and Camilla remarks on Protesilaus Ebdoma’s behavior. As Palamedes is explaining Abigail and Magnus’s mortal injuries, they are interrupted by a noise behind them and the sound of Fourth House running away.[12]

On the following day, Protesilaus is determined missing and ‘Dulcinea’ is taken ill. All postulants are counted and brought to see the ashes found in the incinerator. Teacher explains a house search has been organized and requests that all postulants check their rooms. Palamedes is perplexed by the ashes’ dating - placing them weeks before anyone arrived at Canaan House. Ianthe points out that the ashes have two separate signatures and; therefore, are two separate people. When Silas Octakiseron returns with Dulcinea’s keys, Palamedes is horrified. Judith demands that Silas hand them over to her for safekeeping. After Silas refuses, Judith promises to take responsibility for the situation in the name of the Cohort. Silas questions if Judith means to challenge him, but Judith demands keys from the Sixth House instead. Palamedes refuses and Marta throws down her glove as a duel challenge. Coronabeth attempts to prevent the duel, but Palamedes accepts the challenge for Camilla.[1]

Camilla readies herself and steps onto the table with Marta stepping to the opposite end. Judith sets the rules as "hyoid down, disarm legal, necromancer’s mercy",[1] but Palamedes does not understand this ruling. Coronabeth whispers an explanation to him that Camilla can be hit anywhere below the neck, the duel only ends when Palamedes calls mercy, and that Judith is trying to make Sixth House an example. Coronabeth starts the beginning arbitration and the cavaliers make their calls. On Camilla’s call, Palamedes explains what she is allowed to do. Then, Camilla asks Palamedes to tell her how to play it, and he instructs her to “go loud."[1] Camilla fights with vicious speed and skill, but Marta gets one hit in her forearm. Camilla dislocates Marta’s arm and slams her into the table - forcing Judith to call mercy. As Palamedes sets Marta’s arm and lectures Judith, Camilla sits down at the edge of the table and claps her hand over her wound.[1]

As Palamedes turns to care for Camilla’s wound, Naberius Tern issues Camilla another challenge for the Sixth House’s keys. Camilla readies herself, but the Ninth House and Fourth House come to her defense and Naberius withdraws. In anger and suspicion, the Second, Third and Eighth postulants go their separate ways. Palamedes remarks to the remaining postulants that there is only one unaccounted key left. He has completed all challenges, besides the avulsion room, and tracked each key to its respective owner and only one key eludes him. The Fourth, Sixth and Ninth House postulants discuss how the challenges may combine into one ‘megatheorem’. Palamedes organizes the Fourth, Sixth, and Ninth into teams: Gideon, Jeannemary, and Isaac into the Facility to look for Protesilaus, and Harrowhark, Camilla, and himself to watch ‘Dulcinea’.[13]

Act IV[]

Camilla assists in bringing the bodies of Jeannemary and Isaac to the morgue. The Sixth and Ninth House postulants continue to team up, and meet in the Sixth House rooms to negotiate an information trade. Harrowhark will give Palamedes her map of Canaan House and help him pick a lock; in return, Palamedes will give Harrowhark all his notes from the Lyctor rooms. As they walk to the lock, Gideon calls Camilla’s rapier bluff and she admits that she uses double-edged blades because they have more practical applications. Camilla asks about what is going on between Palamedes and Gideon, and Gideon admits she is uncomfortable with their mutual crush on Dulcinea. With the lock jammed with perpetual ash, Harrowhark siphons Gideon to undo it. With no key, the Sixth House leaves.[14]

Upon finding Protesilaus’s head in Harrowhark’s closet, Gideon brings it to the Sixth’s rooms. At this, Camilla is sent to find Harrowhark. She returns, handcuffed to Harrowhark. The Sixth and Ninth agree that they need to gather the remaining postulants to confront ‘Dulcinea’. With Protesilaus’s decapitated head in hand, Palamedes and Harrow propose that Protesilaus has been dead for some time and reanimated by the beguiling corpse theorem - which 'Dulcinea' confirms. After Silas, 'Dulcinea', Judith and Harrowhark get into several ethics arguments, Colum Asht inquires about the incinerator’s contents. ‘Dulcinea’s' illness flares up during the conversation, and Palamedes and Camilla help to get her comfortable again. The postulants break apart and go their separate ways. Teacher and his fellow priests pledge to watch over ‘Dulcinea’ at all times.[15]

The following day, Sixth and Ninth goes to the Lyctor study that neither of them have a key for. Harrowhark uses Palamedes’s psychometric perception of the key to build a copy out of bone. Once inside, Palamedes and Camilla examine the objects in the study and Harrowhark pours over the theorem notes. Camilla discovers a binder of photos, including one of Teacher. Their investigation is cut short by the fire alarms. They leave immediately and find broken skeleton servants slumped in the hall. They check on ‘Dulcinea’ and find one of her priest caretakers broken as well. ‘Dulcinea’ informs them that Teacher had gone to close a door but hadn’t returned yet. The Sixth and Ninth go searching for Teacher and discover a bone pile outside of a room in the priests’ wing. An injured Judith and the bodies of Teacher and Marta are inside. Judith informs the Sixth and Ninth that she and Marta fought Teacher over communication access. She confirms that she was able to get an SOS to the Emperor. When Judith begs Palamedes to save Marta, he informs her that she is beyond saving. At her request, Judith is left with her cavalier’s corpse and a sword.[16]

The Sixth and Ninth postulants return to find Eighth House waiting outside ‘Dulcinea’s’ rooms. Silas reports that the Third House has defiled Abigail’s corpse. When Palamedes investigates the body, he discovers that a key was hidden in Abigail’s abdomen, which is now in Third House’s possession. The Sixth, Eighth, and Ninth Houses set out to the room that matches Abigail’s key.[17] Upon arrival, they discover a sobbing Coronabeth, a dead Naberius, and a newly ascended Ianthe. Ianthe triumphantly explains that she reverse engineered the Eightfold Word and admits to Naberius’s murder. Silas takes great moral offense to Ianthe’s actions and sets Colum to fight the newly ascended Ianthe.[18] After the ensuing fight results in the deaths of Silas and Colum, the Sixth and Ninth postulants leave the room to find that they’ve lost Palamedes. Finally, Camilla reveals Palamedes and Dulcinea's history and Gideon is crushed with guilt. Then, Gideon asks Harrowhark to fetch her double-handed sword and Camilla to watch after Harrowhark, and then runs to find Palamedes.[19]

Camilla Leaps into Battle by Leadjockey

When Harrowhark and Camilla catch up with Gideon, Cytherea is about to attack her. Camilla throws herself against Cytherea to drive her back. Cytherea only barely manages to hold back Camilla’s onslaught, before Harrowhark appears and buries her in bone. Cytherea summons the construct that killed Isaac to assist in the fight. As a team, Gideon and Harrowhark fight Cytherea with Camilla supporting them, darting in and out of sight. During the fight, Harrowhark and Gideon meld together with Harrowhark directing Gideon's strikes against the construct, and plugging the holes with perpetual bone. Then, Harrowhark passes out from exhaustion.[20]

Camilla gets a knife to Cytherea’s throat but is stopped by her necromancy. Cytherea sends a tentacle of bone to spear Camilla, but Gideon's warning gives her enough time to move and Camilla is only wounded. Before Cytherea can kill Camilla, a newly ascended Ianthe stabs Cytherea in the abdomen. While the Lyctors fight, Gideon, with Harrowhark in tow, frees Camilla from the bone she is impaled on. As the three of them are escaping the crumbling atrium, Camilla asks if Palamedes said anything to Gideon. Gideon lies and says “He said to tell you he loved you”[20] which Camilla shoots down immediately. Gideon apologizes and tells Camilla that Palamedes said that Camilla would know what to do, which Camilla affirms.[20]

As it seems that Ianthe might be winning their fight, Cytherea grabs Ianthe's throat and siphons her to heal. Cytherea steps on Ianthe’s right arm and cuts it off. Camilla throws a knife at the lump on Cytherea’s back. Cytherea removes it and siphons Ianthe again. Cytherea turns the Ninth and the Sixth to fight, but Gideon stands between her and Camilla and an unconscious Harrowhark. Even with a direct hit, Gideon can't wound Cytherea. Harrowhark comes to and sends skeletons after Cytherea, who in turns summons the construct. Harrow builds a shield of bone around the three of them, but she can't hold it. Gideon and Harrowhark argue what they should do next, Camilla appears to give into their collective deaths. But as Gideon makes her way over to the iron spike railings, Camilla watches her with emotionless expression.[20]

As Yet Unsent[]

After the battle of Canaan House, Camilla gathers as many pieces of Palamedes's skull as she can manage. However, the insurgent group Blood of Eden (BoE) captures Judith, Camilla, Coronabeth, and the body of Gideon Nav. They successfully leave the First House without drawing the notice of the Emperor or Cohort.[21] Judith, Camilla, and Coronabeth are pronounced dead to their Houses.[22]

Under Camilla’s direction, the Edenites travel to a thalergetic planet to allow Judith to necromantically assist with her own surgery.[21] After that, Camilla remains nonverbal for the first four weeks of captivity.[23] Camilla begins to slightly warm to BoE after Commander We Suffer begins to trade information about past Edenite dealings with the Sixth House and Camilla discusses the existence of a ‘break clause’ in turn.[24] At some point, the Edenites attempt to confiscate Palamedes’s bones from Camilla, which Camilla resists. For her trouble, she is shocked through a security anklet which leaves her hospitalized for a week. Judith, Camilla, and Coronabeth play chess on the hospital’s ceiling tiles to pass time.[24]

Throughout her captivity, Camilla maintains her stoicism. She makes dogged attempts to nurse Judith, despite her patient’s ill temper and wish to die.[23][25] Camilla ignores Coronabeth’s flirtations.[26] She remains unmoved when Edenites threaten her life to force Judith to tell them about the stele.[27] She adamantly protects Palamedes’s remains, despite We Suffer and Coronabeth’s warnings of the Edenite wrath that it will incur. Judith tries a different tactic with Camilla. As Camilla is treating her for bedsores, Judith tells the story of how she met Marta, fell in love with her, and was turned down. Judith explains that her cavalier taught her that a necromancer-cavalier relationship should be complementary, not codependent. She cautions Camilla against obsessive codependency with her necromancer's bones, and at this, Camilla leaves.[28]

Eventually, Judith is healed by an unknown Lyctor, likely Mercymorn the First. The Lyctor regrows Judith’s intestines, instructs the Edenites to keep her weak, and provides the means for the Edenites to operate the stele so long as Judith is at the controls.[29] With this newfound mobility of a stele-controlled ship, Camilla, Judith, and Coronabeth prepare to leave the makeshift Edenite camp on a thalergetic planet.[30] At this point, Camilla is able to put the second part of her plan into motion: finding Harrowhark Nonagesimus and confirming that Palamedes’s soul is attached to his bones.

Harrow the Ninth[]

Six Months Before the Emperor's Murder[]

In Harrowhark’s Canaan House river bubble, the bodies of Palamedes and Camilla are found and brought to the mortuary. Their faces are destroyed by gunshots.[31]

Two Months Before the Emperor's Murder[]

HtN Camilla by clubnich

Camilla follows Harrow through the forest, illustrated by clubnich

Mercymorn delivers Harrowhark to a planet that needs to be thanergetically converted. In her fourth hour on the planet, Harrow realizes that she is being tracked through the thick forest. Harrowhark stops and waits for her stalker to approach, surprised to see Camilla, whom Harrowhark believed to be dead. Though the sight of Camilla causes Harrowhark to start bleeding from her ears, eyes, and nose, Harrowhark manages to give Camilla one of her letters via a skeleton construct. Camilla reads it, destroys the letter, then recites the correct words to assure Harrowhark’s aid. Harrowhark sends her construct toward Camilla, which Camilla disables. At Harrow's protest that she needs to assure that Camilla is real, Camilla sheaths her weapons and carefully approaches to inspect Harrowhark's injuries, which Camilla judges to be an intracranial haemorrhage.[32]

When Harrow demands to know how and why Camilla is on this planet, Camilla produces the reconstructed fragment of Palamedes's skull and asks Harrowhark to verify if the Warden's revenant is attached to the bones. When Harrowhark expresses doubt, Camilla explains that Palamedes had planned to fix his soul to his body with spirit magic, but this plan did not account for the explosive nature of his death and Camilla doesn't know if she has the part of the body that Palamedes is attached to. Harrowhark agrees to seek out the remnant of his soul and uses the bones to triangulate Palamedes’s position in the River.[32] While Harrowhark is in the River, Camilla moves her limp body to the clearing where Coronabeth and Judith are waiting with the shuttle. When Harrowhark returns to her body, she confirms that Palamedes is in the bones, and Camilla collapses gratefully into the grass. Per a promise made to Palamedes, Harrow reshapes his bones into a skeletal hand.[33]

Harrowhark walks around the shuttle and encounters Coronabeth and Judith inside. After consulting her letters, Harrowhark necromantically seals the jaws of both Judith and Coronabeth and draws her two-hander. Camilla attempts to diffuse the situation but is distracted by the abysmal state of Harrow's sword. Judith tries to speak to Harrowhark through a stuck jaw, and curiosity compels Harrowhark to unseal Judith’s jaw. Judith warns Harrowhark of a traitor amongst the Emperor's inner circle, but Coronabeth quickly covers Judith's mouth and manhandles her back into the shuttle. Camilla invokes the Locked Tomb to ensure that Harrowhark allows them to leave and tells no one they were there. When a confused Harrowhark asks who Camilla is with, Camilla answers Blood of Eden.[33]

Epilogue[]

An unnamed character lives with three other people: the person who goes to work for her, the person who teaches her, and the person who looks after her. When the temperature drops, the person who looks after her (later confirmed to be Camilla) has her work at the chin-up bar, press-ups or whatever feels natural. While lying with her cheeks against cool ceramic tiles, the unnamed character asks if the person who looks after her has worked out who she is yet, and Camilla responds “Not yet”.[34]

Nona the Ninth[]

Before Day One[]

Sometime before Nona the Ninth, Camilla and Palamedes find Pyrrha Dve who has Harrowhark’s damaged body. Palamedes is able to necromantically heal Harrowhark's body. During a fight with the Cohort, they get Nona and Pyrrha away but lose Edenites and Gideon Nav’s body. In the aftermath, Blood of Eden wants to execute Pyrrha and Harrow, fearing their Lyctoral status. But Pyrrha and Camilla manage to convince Commander We Suffer to let them live. As the amnesiac soul begins to wake up in Harrow’s body, BoE gives Pyrrha and Camilla a one year deadline to determine the amnesiac soul’s identity.[35] Camilla and Palamedes discover a way to have Palamedes inhabit Camilla’s body for short periods by modeling Pyrrha and Gideon the First’s compartmentalization.[36] Then, Palamedes invokes the ‘break clause’ of the Sixth House and gets them out of the Dominicus System. At first, the amnesiac soul, called Nona, only wakes for brief periods of time. Nona is tended to by Camilla, Palamedes, and Pyrrha on New Rho.[37][38]

After the Seventh Resurrection Beast anchors itself above New Rho, the planet’s inhabitants panic. The Nine Houses withdraw and leave behind only a few scattered Cohort troops. All commercial and personal spacecraft abandon the planet, leaving the remaining populace trapped.[35][39] This shifts the power balance in Blood of Eden to the antinegotiation sect and Merv Wing kidnaps the Sixth House Oversight Body to put pressure on Nona’s identification.[35] Throughout the political turmoil, Pyrrha, Camilla and Palamedes search for the missing Oversight Body.[36][38]

One month before the events of Nona the Ninth, Camilla takes Nona swimming for the last time. While Nona is in the water, members of BoE's Merv Wing approach and threaten Camilla. After one of them shoots Nona, Camilla attacks and kills them all, momentarily merging with Palamedes. Their merge results in Camilla having two different colored eyes – one from her and one from Palamedes. While Camilla regains control, she is significantly weakened. She directs Nona to grab one of Merv Wing’s bikes to get off the beach. While Camilla is covered in blood-sweat, Nona drives them both back to the Building. After disposing of the bike, Nona gets Camilla up the stairs and to their apartment. Pyrrha carries Camilla to bed and guides her through her thanergy shock. Before she falls asleep, Camilla asks Pyrrha to not tell Palamedes that “[she] was weak”.[40]

Day One - Five Days Until The Tomb Opens[]

Nona’s morning routine begins with Camilla asking Nona about her dreams and recording her responses on tape and in pencil. Once Camilla ends the recording, Nona gets dressed for the day and attempts to bait Camilla into helping with her stretches, but Camilla doesn’t take it. Camilla asks Nona to help Pyrrha with breakfast; while, Camilla has a talk with Palamedes (who is now sharing her body). When Nona asks that Camilla write down an ‘I-love-you’ note for Palamedes, Camilla does this unquestioningly. With that, Camilla sends Nona off to Pyrrha with a rare smile.[38]

At the end of Palamedes and Pyrrha’s conversation behind a closed door, Camilla returns to her body and calls out to Nona, who was eavesdropping. All three of them finish their morning routine to be ready by the front door. Then, they run through their ‘scatter’, ‘all-clear’ and ‘periscope ending’ words and protocols with Camilla suggesting that she should fight if a Herald comes down - to Pyrrha’s dismay.[38]

With Nona being allowed to go to school, Camilla is responsible for dropping her off in the morning and picking her up after lunch.[41] After Nona is done with school for the day, Camilla comes to pick her up, as usual. When they arrive home at the Building, Camilla brings out a container of fruit and they both eat orange melon. Camilla barres the door and hangs thick black curtains on the windows, before giving Nona the bones. Nona starts to arrange them in a spiral, which Camilla sketches out on butcher’s paper. Palamedes appears and discusses Blood of Eden, Crown, and Camilla with Nona. Once his timer goes off, he asks Nona to give something to Camilla, and kisses Nona’s second right-hand knuckle. Nona proceeds to do just so when Camilla returns, and unlike the first time, Camilla almost doesn’t flinch.[42]

Once the heat dies down, Camilla draws a bath for herself and Nona. Once Nona is in the tub, she asks Camilla to read the newspaper columns to her. Camilla bargains that Nona can get five minutes of reading for every melon slice eaten. Then, Camilla asks if Nona would ever want to leave the city and move somewhere else, which Nona declines. Camilla asks if Nona would love a new home where everyone was present, and Nona answers “maybe”.[37] Camilla questions if Nona is telling her everything, which Nona admits she isn’t. Camilla asks that Nona tell her or Palamedes if Nona gets scared or doesn’t know what to do, which Nona agrees to. After Camilla finishes her bath, both of them lay down to sleep. Neither of them can get comfortable and Camilla offers to read another letter to Nona. Instead, Nona asks for a story - how Camilla and Palamedes met her. Camilla explains, with some additions from Nona: how she and Palamedes found Pyrrha and Nona, how they all escaped an attack, how Blood of Eden was involved, and how Palamedes invoked the Sixth House’s ‘break clause’. When Pyrrha returns, she comments on the resting women, and Camilla answers that Pyrrha needs to go to bed.[37]

Day Two - Four Days Until The Tomb Opens[]

Camilla drops a wet sponge on Nona's forehead, causing Nona to squeal, and starts the recording process. After Nona recounts her dream, Camilla apologizes for dropping the wet sponge on her head. Camilla shines her torch light for Nona to button her pants up for the day. After Palamedes has finished her plate of mush, Camilla returns to ask Pyrrha about what happened to the food money, while Pyrrha dismisses that she will not be fighting over it twice. After all three of them complete their morning stretches, they go about their morning routine. When Camilla comes to pick up Nona from school, they take a roundabout way back to the Building. Camilla stops inside a bakery to buy some pastries and forces Nona to eat one. Before they begin sword training, Nona confronts Camilla about selling Pyrrha’s cigarette stash, which Camilla dismisses.[40]

Nona tries her luck to go to the beach or back to school, which Camilla shuts down due to it being late and recent gunfire. Camilla takes Nona to the fish market, where they learn about recent riots and pick up dinner. At home, Camilla has to bargain with Nona to eat something but is interrupted by Pyrrha’s return. Camilla does a quick look over of Pyrrha, who is covered in dust, smoke and blood. Palamedes takes over and heals Pyrrha’s small wound. Pyrrha asks Palamedes to prevent Camilla from going after some people, assumed to be necromancers, that were captured by rioters.[39] When Nona returns to the bedroom, Camilla and Nona sling one arm each around another. When Nona admits that she isn’t afraid of dying, Camilla tells Nona that she struggles to “let go”.[39]

Day Three - Three Days Until The Tomb Opens[]

When recounting her dream, Nona shows Camilla how she was being held. Camilla and Nona discuss what Nona finds sexy and Camilla claims that Palamedes finds high tests score sexy. Camilla sends Nona to breakfast while she speaks with Palamedes. When Camilla returns at the dinner table, she becomes extremely focused on what Nona is eating.[43] Their breakfast is interrupted by BoE’s Ctesphion Wing breaking down their door, restraining them, and carrying them to an awaiting car. When they are brought to another location, Pyrrha is separated from Nona and Camilla. While Crown (formerly Coronabeth Tridentarius) cuts Nona’s bindings, Camilla cuts herself out. Camilla questions Crown about Pyrrha’s location and they slip into a back and forth about Pyrrha, Judith and We Suffer. Then, Crown brings Nona and Camilla into a debriefing with We Suffer, Our Lady of the Passion, and a restrained Pyrrha. Camilla put on her glasses to cover up that Palamedes is coming up. Then, Palamedes argues with We Suffer about the imperial negotiator, Sixth House Oversight Body, and Troia cell’s Lyctor Project under the pretense of being Camilla.[35]

After the debriefing concludes, ‘Camilla’ convinces Crown to take her and Nona down to see Judith. Palamedes attempts to assist Judith, who is extremely weak and delirious. Crown calls out that Palamedes is sharing Camilla’s body, which Palamedes confirms. Palamedes can only cause a screaming Judith to rest before he has to switch with Camilla. Upon their switch, Crown asks if Palamedes controls when they switch, which Camilla responds that they both do. Camilla asks if Crown will tell her superiors about what she and Palamedes are, but Crown swears on her sister that she won’t. Camilla admits that she still doesn’t trust Crown but invites Crown to come with her, Pyrrha, and Nona. Crown declines and gives Camilla a hug, which Camilla doesn’t return. As they return to the ground floor, Camilla tells Crown that they are overdoing Pyrrha’s restraints and Crown warns Camilla that she shouldn’t put too much trust into Pyrrha. Then, when Nona asks about what Judith was shouting about in her room, Crown and Camilla are shocked because they only heard Judith screaming.[44]

On the drive back to the Building, Crown decides to drop Nona off at school. Camilla attempts to protest underneath her cloth hood, but the truck drives off to the Building.[45] When Nona returns home after checking out the negotiator broadcast, Camilla becomes worried as Pyrrha was suppose to pick her up from school after lunch.[46]

Day Four - Forty-Eight Hours Until the Tomb Opens[]

When Nona wakes up, Camilla instructs Nona how to record her dreams while she makes breakfast. Nona stumbles on Camilla and Palamedes’s recorded conversations about Nona and BoE. Palamedes admits that he is uncomfortable with their two-souls-one-body situation, but Camilla states that it is preferable to just carrying his memory or bones. Then, Nona stumbles on a four-month old recording of Camilla trying to communicate with Nona about her dreams. At some point, a blushing Camilla appears in the doorway and tells Nona to get ready for breakfast. While they breakfast, Camilla and Nona discuss Pyrrha’s possible motives and locations. To Nona’s delight, Camilla informs her that she is coming along to find Pyrrha at the spaceport. Nona asks if they can stop by the school, which Camilla agrees to.[47]

When Camilla and Nona arrive at school, Camilla shakes Aim’s hand and thanks them for taking Nona home the day previous. Aim invites Nona, most of Hot Sauce’s gang, and Camilla up into the school. In the classroom, Camilla sits at a desk and watches Hot Sauce’s gang and Aim go over their emergency plans. Camilla asks about Aim’s life on Lemuria. At some point, Nona starts to suspect that Camilla has switched with Palamedes. The school’s generator goes out and Aim sends everyone but Camilla, Nona, and Hot Sauce home.[47] Until Nona sees Camilla’s eye color (which has been hidden by sunglasses) that she is able to confirm their switch.[48]

After Palamedes and Aim discuss Aim’s necromantic implant and Palamedes’s necromantic ability, Nona and Palamedes are shot by Merv Wing. After Nona recovers and Aim orders Pash to stand down, Nona goes over to check on Camilla. It appears that Palamedes healed Camilla from the shots, as Camilla holds two bullets in her hands. Camilla asks Nona for an update and Nona explains “the worst day of school ever”.[48] While Aim attempts to call off Merv Wing, Camilla starts to barricade the door. Aim is unable to call off Merv wing and Pash, Aim, and Camilla argue as they continue to barricade themselves in the classroom. Merv Wing continues to make their way to the classroom, and Camilla agrees to let Nona go and get Hot Sauce, who is locked in the generator room.[48]

Nona and Hot Sauce hide in the generator room as Pash and Camilla eliminate Merv Wing. Aim brings the two girls back to the classroom as Camilla assists Pash with taking the bodies to the cloakroom. When Camilla returns to the classroom, Nona hugs her for a while. When Hot Sauce begins to realize that Nona is a ‘zombie’, she shoots Nona for the third time that day.[48] After the incident, Camilla helps get Nona to a BoE facility. On the way there, Palamedes has to necromantically remove the bullet stuck in Nona's head with an audience of Ctesiphon Wing Edenites.[49] The Edenites, frightened and wary of necromantic abilities, shackles Camilla and locks Nona up. Nona, furious to find herself restrained, throws her third ever tantrum. By the time she is subdued, Nona’s body is badly damaged and she passes out.[50]

Day Five - Twenty-Four Hours Until The Tomb Opens[]

When Nona regains consciousness in the BoE facility, Palamedes brings her up to date on the situation and Nona admits that she is dying. Palamedes switches with Camilla, and We Suffer joins Nona and Camilla in the facility room. We Suffer loops Camilla and Nona into a live recording of Crown (with Judith in tow) getting into the Cohort barracks. They are able to hear Pyrrha, disguised as Gideon the First, speak before Prince Ianthe Naberius (Ianthe Tridentarius puppeting Naberius Tern’s body) has Crown’s earpiece killed.[49] Camilla asks We Suffer to scan for inactive bugs and while she scans, Camilla and Nona hug. After We Suffer finds an inactive bug, Camilla and Palamedes switch. Palamedes introduces himself, explains how their interests align and proposes a deal: the key to the Locked Tomb in exchange for the Oversight Body. Camilla returns and agrees to help break into the barracks to get Gideon Nav’s body. Then, Judith’s bug audio with Pyrrha, Crown, and Ianthe starts to play. Camilla is able to deduce through shared code words and Pyrrha’s many, many nicknames for Nona that Pyrrha believes Nona is the key to Gideon’s body. Camilla asks We Suffer for materials to disguise Nona as Harrowhark.[51]

While BoE prepares to move and Nona is put into her disguise, Camilla and Palamedes converse on a piece of flimsy. Camilla instructs Nona to rudely refuse to answer questions, to act like she has blue madness, and to not smile. After a quick briefing with We Suffer, Camilla, Pash, Aim, Noodle, and a disguised Nona head to the barracks. Pash, Aim and Noodle stay in the truck while Camilla and Nona head into the barracks. They are greeted by Crown, Pyrrha, Ianthe Naberius and numerous uniformed puppets.[51]

Camilla vs. Ianthe Naberius by n00talie

"Match to the Sixth" Ianthe Naberius stabs Camilla Hect, illustrated by n00talie.

Ianthe attempts to quip with Camilla and Nona (who she takes for Harrowhark) and argues with Crown about the Oversight Body. Camilla reveals that Cassiopeia the First gave them directives for the ‘break clause’. Ianthe questions Nona more intensely, which Nona responds with “a vocal bomb”[52] scream and by throwing herself to the ground. Camilla draws her knives, but she is pinned by four puppets. Then, Ianthe offers to either kill Camilla now or dismember Camilla now and interrogate her later. Instead, Camilla challenges Ianthe to a duel using the unanswered challenge from their time in Canaan House; Crown forces Ianthe to accept the challenge. Ianthe and Camilla go back and forth for some time and then, Ianthe knocks Camilla down and stabs her through the chest. Camilla holds onto Ianthe’s wrist, which allows Palamedes into Naberius's body. Palamedes forces Ianthe out of the body and it promptly collapses, leading to a victory for the Sixth.[52]

Crown and Pyrrha rush to Camilla while all the puppets come down. With Palamedes operating Naberius’s body, all three assist in removing the sword from Camilla. Crown leaves to get bandages and Palamedes and Camilla share a sweet moment to touch foreheads. After Palamedes admits that he can’t do much necromancy in Naberius’s body, Pyrrha asks him to try and locate Gideon’s body using psychometry. After locating Gideon below them, Crown returns with bandages. Palamedes instructs Crown to get Judith and Pyrrha and Nona to get Gideon while he wraps Camilla’s wound.[53]

Once everyone meets back up with Camilla and Palamedes, they try to work out if Gideon is a doll copy. Camilla is grey from blood loss, but is able to stand. They discuss their next steps involving the shuttle, the Oversight Body, and the Locked Tomb. When Palamedes attempts to take a blood sample from the corpse, Gideon stops him.[53] Gideon then introduces herself as Prince Kiriona Gaia the First. Palamedes, Crown, Pyrrha and Kiriona discuss how she has come to be and Kiriona asks to head to the Ninth House with them. Kiriona allows Camilla to try to draw blood, only for the needle to snap against Kiriona's skin. After some back and forth about Kiriona’s motives, the group warily lets Kiriona join them.[54]

When they (with Kiriona feigning death) meet back up with We Suffer, Pash, and Aim, Camilla declines pain medication. Palamedes insists that she has some.[55] Camilla participates in an operation to retrieve the surviving members of the Sixth House, who are in a convoy circling the underground tunnels of the city. Camilla uses a wheelchair when reuniting with the Oversight Body. Camilla requests that her sister, Kiki, watch the Lyctorhood ritual. Pyrrha attempts to convince Palamedes and Camilla to not go through with the ritual, but Palamedes insists that they aren’t doing what Pyrrha is thinking. Pyrrha admits her love and kisses both of them. With a few onlookers, Palamedes affirms they had the "perfect friendship, the perfect love”[56]; Camilla, overcome with emotion, bursts into tears of relief. After consuming something powdery from Palamedes (presumably his bones) along with her own blood, Camilla's body erupts into flames. After the fire dies, the Lyctor that emerges from the flames is neither Camilla or Palamedes, but a new person named Paul.[56]

Appearance & Personality[]

Gideon first describes Camilla as thus:

"Standing next to him [Palamedes] holding a big wedge of broken sculpture and the flashlight was a tall, equally grey wrapped figure with a scabbard outlined at her hip. She had hair of an indeterminate darkness, cut blunt at her chin. She was restless as a bird, stepping from one foot to the other, quirking her elbows, rocking from the balls of her feet to the heel."

Personality[]

"Here was a warrior, not just a cavalier. [...] Blow after lightning blow rattled her defenses, each one coming down like an industrial crush press, the short offhand knife targeting the guard of Gideon's blade."[7]

Camilla Hect is a talented, stoic and determined person. She has a certain air of unflappability, rarely registering surprise or excitement. She seldom smiles, but when she does it is likened to "the sun catching the glitter of a car on the motorway."[38] Camilla is reserved but has a penchant for wry humor. She can even be lighthearted with those she is close to. She also can be quite restless when without something to direct her attention at. Camilla often flies under people's radar due her reserved and stoic nature. She uses her inconspicuousness to hide her true abilities from strangers and acquaintances. She is an extremely intelligent person and a relentless and knowledgeable warrior.[1][20] However, she can be stubborn and single-minded in her ultimate goals. She is dedicated to the cavalier role and Palamedes Sextus to an almost compulsive degree, putting herself at great harm for him.[24][40][47]

Possessions[]

  • Knives: Camilla’s knives come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Though she is trained in a variety of weapons and brings a small arsenal to Canaan House, Camilla considers a pair of double-edged blades to be her primary weapons.[14] On New Rho Cam carries a number of knives strapped to her body, including one very hidden knife which Blood of Eden fails to locate when they search her for weapons.[35] Camilla initially trained with knives because they had more general applications than other weapons, but she also admits to using two long one-sided knives for “shock and awe”[52] during a duel with Ianthe the First.
  • Rapier and Offhand: Carried in a shabby scabbard,[7] Camilla’s rapier is “as light and delicate as a cobweb” and looks very old. She uses an unimpressive, unrefined one-sided butcher’s knife as an offhand.[13]
  • The Warden’s Bones: After Palamedes’s physical death, Camilla collects ninety-six small bone fragments and uses chemical glue to reconstruct a piece of skull. She carries the bones in a rough canvas bag around her neck.[32] After Harrowhark confirms that Palamedes is attached to the bones as a revenant, she transforms the bones into a skeletal hand that is capable of mobility.[33]
  • Dulcinea’s Letters: These letters are the correspondences that Camilla and Palamedes received from Dulcinea Septimus over the course of many years. Camilla took it upon herself to keep all of them, and reproduces an excerpt of one such letter in "The Mysterious Study of Doctor Sex."[5]
  • Gideon’s Sunglasses: Camilla uses Gideon’s aviator sunglasses (given to Cam by Pyrrha, who took them from Gideon on the Mithraeum) to hide the way her eyes change when Palamedes takes control of her body. The glasses are big and a little unbalanced, but Nona notes that she thinks Camilla privately rather likes them.[38]
  • Correspondences with Palamedes: Palamedes and Camilla’s primary form of communication while they share a body is a collection of handwritten letters and notes which Camilla keeps in stacks in their apartment.[36]
  • Tape Recorder: Camilla’s tape recorder is plastic with a red record button and various other clacking buttons. She uses it to communicate with Palamedes and to record Nona’s accounts of her dreams.[47]

Relationships[]

Palamedes Sextus[]

"Palamedes remembers everything: that was his problem. I always remember him. That's mine."
- Camilla Hect[5]

Camilla and Palamedes have an especially strong relationship, even for a necromancer-cavalier pair. They grow up together in the Sixth House, each pursuing their specialties - Palamedes with his scholarship and Camilla at the Swordsman's spire.[5] Camilla intuits her scion's needs and reacts before Palamedes can even ask. Furthermore, Camilla's practicality and diligence serve to balance out Palamedes's eccentric intelligence. The pair often take cues from each other and respect another's judgement.[1][5] To outsiders, they appear as a cohesive but borderline codependent unit.[9]

Their relationship drastically changes upon Palamedes's physical death. Camilla collects Palamedes's bones to ensure that his plan to attach his soul to them is completed.[33] She does this even as it puts herself in great harm of incurring Blood of Eden's wrath.[28] When they compartmentalize in Camilla's body, the two struggle with what is means for their relationship. While Palamedes does as much in his power to prevent damaging Camilla's body, it is not enough, and he struggles to justify his continuation in her body. Camilla, desperate to keep her necromancer alive in any capacity, struggles to accept the inevitability of their situation and opts to blame herself for not being strong enough.[47] Camilla goes so far as to ask Pyrrha Dve to lie on her behalf.[40]

When the two decide to pursue Lyctorhood, Camilla is so relieved and overwhelmed that she, uncharacteristically, bursts into tears. Camilla and Palamedes affirm their love and dedication for each other as "something very nearly perfect".[56] The two complete the process which results in their mutual suicide and death and the creation of Paul.[56]

Harrowhark Nonagesimus[]

Gideon Nav/Kiriona Gaia[]

"'...but I'm fine. H-- My necromancer overreacted.' (This at least, seemed to strike a chord with Camilla, whose glance softened with the understanding of someone whose necromancer was also prone to gross overreaction.)"
- Gideon[12]

Camilla seems to be off put by Gideon Nav's incompetence as a cavalier, despite her battle prowess. Camilla takes pride in her work and status as a cavalier and seems to hold a great respect for the necromancer-cavalier bond. Gideon and Harrowhark Nonagesimus's ineffective and combative partnership seems to be difficult for Camilla to understand, much less sympathize with either party. However, Camilla warms up to Gideon as they work together. They share a dry banter that both seem to enjoy. Their shared approach to weapons and fighting does help to cross the gap in their relationship as well.[14] Upon Gideon's death, Camilla convinces Blood of Eden to take her corpse when fleeing the First House.[30] Camilla seems to be distrustful and apprehensive of Gideon when discovering that Gideon is now the revenant Kiriona Gaia.[54]

Coronabeth Tridentarius[]

"Are you trying to disgust me, or yourself?"
"Because you know me so well, sweetling-"
- Camilla & Crown[35]

Coronabeth and Camilla have a strained relationship. They do not interact much individually at Canaan House. But, Camilla is among the postulants who are dumbfounded by Coronabeth's frustration about her sister's ascension. Furthermore, Camilla seems to view Ianthe Tridentarius as the mastermind between the twins.[23] When Coronabeth, Camilla, and Judith are captured by Blood of Eden, Coronabeth is exasperated by Camilla's insistence on keeping Palamedes's bones.[28] Both women see practical opportunities in aligning with BoE, but Camilla is more hesitant to enmesh herself than Coronabeth. Coronabeth does attempt to flirt with Camilla, which seems to be more for Coronabeth's entertainment than actual interest.[26] Camilla becomes distrustful of Coronabeth, now a cell leader and going by Crown, when the Sixth House Oversight Body is kidnapped by BoE's Merv Wing.[35]

Judith Deuteros[]

Judith makes a stereotypical assumption of both Camilla and Palamedes Sextus as weak-armed and feeble librarians.[3] She goes so far as to formally challenge the Sixth House postulants to a duel for their Facility keys - hoping for an easy mark to intimidate the other Houses. Unfortunately for Judith, Camilla proves to be a formidable opponent - causing Judith to call mercy for Marta Dyas in their duel.[1] This incident starts Judith and Camilla's relationship out on the wrong foot.

Upon Judith, Camilla, and Coronabeth Tridentarius's capture by Blood of Eden, the two women are put into close, consistent contact with each other.[21] The two struggle to understand each other's grief from losing their partner at Canaan House and disagree on how to interact with Blood of Eden.[26] Judith believes Camilla and Palamedes's cavalier-necromancer bond is codependent and obsessive and Camilla seems to believe that Judith and Marta's dynamic is almost inhumanly military. Judith takes issues with Camilla's willingness to work with BoE and Camilla disagrees with Judith's unwillingness to be flexible about their situation. Furthermore, Camilla often advocates on Judith's behalf and cares for her ever worsening wounds, despite Judith's terribleness towards her. Camilla does seem to appreciate the humanness that Judith shows when sharing stories about her cavalier, Marta, but becomes upset when Judith uses them to criticize her relationship with Palamedes.[28] Camilla comes to believe that Judith is a person stubbornly set in her own self-important ways.[44]

Dulcinea Septimus[]

"Are you two friends?"
"Lady Septimus and I have never met. Look, you should eat."
- Gideon & Camilla[12]

Camilla is the realist counterweight to Palamedes's optimism and Dulcinea's dramatics. Despite never meeting in life, the two women clearly know each other well and care deeply for each other, despite what happens at Canaan House. When Palamedes and Camilla are conversing before they begin their Lyctoral ascension, Camilla asks "Warden - will she know who we are in the River?". It is likely that Camilla is asking about Dulcinea, thinking about her even when on the precipice of ascension.

Palamedes, Camilla and Dulcinea write many letters to each other during Camilla's early life.[5] One letter included a set of mock measurements that Dulcinea's playfully claimed were hers. In response, Camilla draws a picture of Dulcinea using these exaggerated measurements to Dulcinea's delight. Camilla and Dulcinea share the same dry humor.[4] Dulcinea believes strongly in Camilla's practical sensibilities. In vain, Dulcinea believes that Camilla would be able to recognize Cytherea the First's impersonation of her by omitting their close relationship. Unfortunately, it appears that Camilla is so deeply hurt by 'Dulcinea's' behavior towards herself and Palamedes that she fails to catch the impersonation for what it really is. Camilla is extremely standoffish towards 'Dulcinea' at Canaan House, seemingly ignoring her and hesitant to even discuss 'Dulcinea' at all.[12]

Trivia[]

  • Camilla and Palamedes' names share a resonating fragment ("am") similar to the Fifth House necromancer-cavalier pair.[57]
