A foreign alien from not-that-far away given our galactic neighborhood. Merlan is the equivelant to an AIC director by our standards, in charge of an intelligence and investigation division full of espionage experts. Her species are very remniscient of oozes in that they are shapeless, though their bodies aren't acidic. She has a very humanoid shape she appropriated for visits to Sol system as it is easier to utilize all our technology and architecture if she has a similar shape. In her true resting form she's more of a blob.

She has joined Kanika's little council to assist her with her plans, or perhaps more so to make sure those plans don't mess with her race too much. She is a fairly strong psionic and specializes in metacreativity, or "the ability to make semi solid projections", though she has taken a great fascination with incarnum which is sort of the big brother to metacreativity.

No one is really sure what her true motives and intents are, she is an alien super spy after all so its hard to say what she's really after.

Her defense score remains unknown until data is acquired as we have little to no idea how good her species is at not dying.
