Orren, the Syndicate Liaison
The hooded, faceless investigator who summons Carl and Donut to a Desperado Club back office after Loita's death. Orren is a Syndicate Liaison: a non-AI, third-party fact-finder retained when the kua-tin's and the AI's accounts of an incident disagree, “not quite a sheriff, not quite an attorney, not quite a judge.” His hood hides a face-shaped bowl of swirling liquid housing a Valtay worm. He reconstructs Carl's assassination in flawless, over-complicated detail (smart-polymer panel, disco-ball residue, the rebreather's moisture) yet, with no consensus and the kua-tin shielding their top crawler, must close the matter. He reveals 15 admins have been killed by crawlers this season (Lucia Mar twice, confessions signed), bans third-party teleports for the rest of the floor, and hints the Valtay expect to take over the show after Floor 5.
