I know of her, yes. Venat. But she did not come to Pandaemonium, so I've no personal connection to her. The current Azem's familiar, I have met. We've become good friends.

Venat led the faction who argued against further sacrifice. She and her followers summoned Hydaelyn, a god to oppose Zodiark, who then sundered the star into ten and four parts.
