Kōtele's main career as a courtier begins when she helps reinstate Forod. Officially she continues to be the Royal Seer, but unofficially she is Forod's aide and helps him expand his power. She does so by blackmail and outright murder.

Instead of using poison, she opts for an unlikely choice of a sword or an axe as the murder weapon. Her main innovation is how the murders are organized: she meticulously picks a time and place in a way that the body would be discovered only days or weeks later. This sometimes requires her to murder several people of the person's household.

Kōtele's involvement in a lot of high profile murders was deduced by [[Uroh Lorkyn|Uroh Aabos Lorkyn]] who was secretly tasked with the investigation, but was ultimately unable to take action because of Forod's support of Kōtele.

He disappeared after a posh dinner organized at his mansion where he spoke of a trip to Lyst. Later investigation revealed that he never left his mansion and was probably killed that same evening. His body was never discovered. Alongside him three of his close servants also vanished. The body of one of them was later found in the Molosoh river.

 

[[Uroh Lenboh]] was the Prime of Ceremonies and father of [[Jeenor Rostoh]] who was one of key leaders preparing for the upcoming "Red Orchid" campaign. Lenboh was supposed to be taking part in the royal hunt, but had not returned. It quickly became clear that none of the people remembered him at the hunt. His body was never found.

 

 

The disappearance of Lenboh triggered Maan Lon, a life-long servant of Reemoh Dedlos, to approach Uroh Lorkyn regarding the disappearance of his master. Lorkyn refused to help at first, but changed his mind when Jeenor Rostoh was murdered, suspecting conspiracy.
