Zarkela is the leader of an organization called The Politskarae. She answers only to Azrael Drak. She has recently ordered Othorian Wesro and Ilobane Crathana not to look too deeply into the murder of Vickoris Davyre.
Thelion Nightblade believes that if Zarkela is not investigating The Bloody Cobbler murders, nor keeping the Kender of Kendralind confined to the Fumewood, it must be because Azrael has ordered her not to do so.
