Juras Maateh

 had a relationship with Turlough before his exile. Like him, she is from the Imperial Clans of Trion; more specifically from Valerange, in Norring on Trion. After the Civil War she chose to stay and work for Rehctaht instead of going into exile like Turlough.

In an aborted timeline Rehctaht transplanted her mind into Juras sometime before her fall from power in order to get close to Turlough and solve the problem of the Gravity Theory. It is also within this timeline Turlough is forced to kill her in order to kill Rehctaht. However, in the main timeline, she is alive (with the transplant never having happened) and is reunited with Turlough at the end of the novel and they leave together.

She is described as having long dark hair and being about the same age as Turlough.
