Nester

A level 65 Cartographer and one of the rare blue-skinned Zebani, hired as the second mercenary in Carl's truck for the sixth heat because she brings the two things the crew has no answer for: gravity spells and a radar skill that reads hidden space. Through the apartment race she works the floors and walls, calling out empty rooms and conduits under the wheels so Donut knows where to cut, and she is unimpressed by the new hologram in the cab.

Book 8 appearances

• Chapter 73 — Hired as the truck's second mercenary for the sixth heat on the strength of gravity spells and a radar skill, she takes the second chair and is briefed to call out any empty space, hidden passage or conduit in the walls and floor the moment they enter a room.
• Chapter 74 — She reads through the floors on the way down, naming the apartment beneath them and identifying the second bathroom as the next drop, which is what lets Donut place each Hole.
• Chapter 75 — Reads what is under the floor before they cut through it — a utility room rather than another apartment — and casts something that peels the pursuing beetles off the wall.
• Chapter 78 — Turns in her chair to look back at the apartment building still looming behind the garage, says she cannot believe they made it through, and shivers.
