A demon that was drawn to the cycle of death and destruction in Erzi’s Dream, but was assimilated into the story as well, taking the form of a midwife (as it was a being that cared for the children of Great Ones — since they always died!). It uses its human form to exploit Erzi’s amnesia and manipulate him. It wants maximise suffering in the Dream and keep everyone stuck in the time loops. Thus, it helped the Expedition break the Anchor — sowing chaos and weakening Erzi — but prevents Laurence from destroying the Dream altogether.
