Bio
Zarah is an established contact in the campaign’s alliance web, typically operating in the fortress survivor with alchemical background lane within Allied/contact network circles. Their value is practical: they help the Regulators keep momentum between major set-piece conflicts through local trust, continuity, and reliable handoffs.
In play terms, treat Zarah as a reusable relationship asset rather than a one-scene cameo. Current status is Active support worker, and their strongest utility is tied to the citadel support lane.
