'''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 [[Psion|people]], and was partially responsible for conspiring the [[Midnight Coup (event)|Midnight Coup]] that overthrown [[Emperor Calus]]. 

She is also a rebel leader of the [[Psion Conclave]] and [[Shadow Legion]], though her entry and motives remain shrouded in mystery.

==Biography==

===Ancient Past===
Centuries before the [[Midnight Coup (event)|Midnight Coup]], the [[Psion]]s 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.<ref name ="FBOPS"/>

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.<ref name ="FBOPS">'''[[Cabal Booklet]]''', "[[Cabal_Booklet#The_Scientist:_Freeborn_Otzot,_Psion_Savant|The Scientist: Freeborn Otzot, Psion Savant]]"</ref>

===Growing Influence===
As the [[The Witness|Witness]] prepared the [[Final Shape]] inside the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]], Otzot would send a detachment of Cabal under the leadership of a clone of [[Kargen, the Technocrat]] to breach the [[The Insight Terminus|Insight Terminus]]. Kargen's clone was once again trying to access Vex data on OXA, and the [[Sol Divisive]]'s research on the [[The Veil|Veil]]. However, Kargen was stopped and blocked from the [[Vex Network]] by [[Maya Sundaresh]].<ref name="oracle">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Oracle]]''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
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."''<ref name="FBOPS"/> 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 [[Psion]]s as her class's power depends on their role as meditators between Cabal royalty and their subject masses.<ref>'''[[Beloved (lore)|Beloved]]''', "[[Beloved (lore)#I am exactly that old when I realize that my father, the Emperor Calus, is full of shit.|I am exactly that old when I realize that my father, the Emperor Calus, is full of shit.]]"</ref> She has also shown a willingness to sacrifice to dark powers, such as the [[The Witness|Witness]], as seen with [[Lyrix, Sacrificed of Otzot|Lyrix]]<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Overthrow]]''</ref> and [[Aemn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/7)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Episode: Heresy]] - Item Description: [[Flain Suit#Weaver's Bond|Weaver's Bond]]''</ref>
