Irboda Theoboda Valentina Kataph was the daughter of Empress Theoboda Kataph and empress of the Shantine Empire during the late 400s A.U., reigning as Empress Irboda I.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
In , Irboda was betrothed to the king of the Kingdom of Bec following civil unrest and the murder of his father (the former King of Bec) at the hands of the Cult of UrBehk.
She became the Patriarch of the Thalranese Marches in , joining her mother in the International Patriarchate and taking up Patriarchal residence on Tar'Thalran.
In she gave birth to a daughter, Leandra Irboda Theoboda Kataph. As Crown-Princess of Bec, Leandra's birth formalized the union of the ruling families of the Kingdom of Bec and the Shantine Empire.
=== Reign as Empress ===
Irboda was commonly remembered as the "Iron Empress," who consolidated the power of the Kataph dynasty and the Empress-Cult established by her mother. It is said that even her closest advisors, the wily Patriarch Latakon and the firebrand Patriarch Mataxes, lived in terror of her, and that her will was so strong that she was able to remain almost fully lucid during her decades-long possession by the angel Leandra (in contrast to her own daughter, Empress Leandra I, whose faculties succumbed swiftly to the draining effect of possession and enabled a long regency, first by Emmet Caine and then by Lapheraz Kataph).
