- "Is this not Calus's new Empire, an empire of achievement? Can't the Psions grow fat in thought, as you grow fat with power?"
- — Freeborn Otzot appealing to Emperor Calus
Freeborn Otzot is the highest-ranking Psion Flayer, and the lead scientist for the Cabal Empire. She is a prominent, albeit traitorous, leader to her own people, and was partially responsible for conspiring the Midnight Coup that overthrown Emperor Calus.
She is also a rebel leader of the Psion Conclave, though her entry and motives remain shrouded in mystery.
Biography[edit]
Ancient Past[edit]
Centuries before Ghaul's coup, the Psions found the OXA Machine, a machine able to perceive the future, but it was destroyed when the Cabal enslaved the Psions. Centuries later, Freeborn Otzot, a particularly brilliant Psion, rebuilt it on Brand. Emperor Calus was impressed enough by her ambition and genius to order the machine preserved and Otzot fêted. Appealing to Calus' egalitarian values, she was rewarded by elevation to his court as Imperial Dreamer and given anything she asked.[1]
When Calus made public his intentions to free all Psions within the Cabal Empire, Otzot rebelled because it would dilute the prestige of her status as a freeborn. Otzot participated in the coup to oust Calus by using the OXA Machine to communicate with the conspirators, ensuring that the Psions remained subservient to the Cabal.[1]
Growing Influence[edit]
While the forces of the Imperial Cabal and the Shadow Legion were engaged in the conflict between the Witness and the Coalition, Otzot would take advantage of this to begin spreading her influence among the Cabal of the Sol System.[citation needed]
As the Witness prepared the Final Shape inside the Pale Heart, Otzot would send a detachment of Cabal under the leadership of a clone of Kargen, the Technocrat to breach the Insight Terminus. Kargen's clone was once again trying to access Vex data on OXA, and the Sol Divisive's research on the Veil. However, Kargen was stopped and blocked from the Vex Network by Maya Sundaresh.[2]
Personality and traits[edit]
Freeborn Otzot is a genius among her race, being capable of reconstructing the OXA Machine, which had the ability to prophesize using clairvoyant abilities. Calus describes her as "[glowing] with the power of her thoughts."[1] However, she demonstrates a tragic level of self-interest, going as far as to prolong the enslavement of her own race to maintain her special status as one of the few free Psions as her class's power depends on their role as meditators between Cabal royalty and their subject masses.[3]
