Catheya is a Draugr from the Undead Heartlands, from a Clan founded by Be'Zi.

## History

Catheya led an Incursion, and it was via conquering that planet that she learned many of the rules that apply to progenitors from the man her subordinate, Varo, used to be (**Chapter 471**). She led an incursion of 5,000 warriors at 17 (**B9 P21**).

Zac met her at the Tower of Eternity (**Chapter 397**). She was able to sense Be’Zi, her clan's Progenitor, on him and wished to use Zac in order to find clues about her continued whereabouts. She provided him some aid by eliminating the Tsarun Clan at the Tower as well as providing him with two Karmic Treasures, the Lantern of Fate and a Treasure of Erasure.  On parting, she gave him a token to Twilight Harbor (**Chapter 473**)

The Token she gave him was revealed to have marked him she expected to find Zac but instead encountered his Draugr form, who introduced himself as Arcaz Black (**Chapter 685**). He joined her team during the trial but was given an additional mission due to Catheya arranging Va Tapek’s aid during an auction (**Chapter 693**).

Following events during the Ascent she taught Zac all she knew about raising undead, upgrading and modifying skills and bloodline evolutions with the exception of info on Draugr Bloodline Methods (**Chapter 712**).

She has taken the lead role of the negotiator for the Undead with him in order to get access to his bloodline but more importantly to Ultom. In preparation for the Inheritance she has joined him in the Perennial Vastness.

## Personality

She is somewhat excitable and very expressive, a state of affairs only exacerbated by her awakening. She is ruthless, presenting Zac with the heads of 40 cultivators who were opposed to him as a gift and thinking nothing of forcing the Tsarun from the Tower (**Chapter 469**). She is not completely impulsive and temperamental as leader, according to Zac (**Chapter 700**).

She has become even more inclined to teasing Zac since their reunion at Twilight Harbor, but she puts this down to her relieving the boredom she felt from her prolonged cultivation prior to meeting him again (**Chapter 691**). This teasing seems to take the form of flirting with Zac ever since he awakened, though this may additionally be down to her attempting to get a reaction from him ever since his icy response to her dressing up to inflame his passions (**Chapter 697**). She also seems to rate herself highly as a beauty (**Chapter 710**).

She views herself as a chess piece and is willing to be used such, accepting the rewards until she has the power to play the game rather than merely being a pawn (**Chapter 705**).

She finds life in the Undead Empire slow, uneventful, and predictable. Despite her complaints and protests, appears to have enjoyed the chaos that ensues in Zac’s presence (**Chapter 765**).

## Hobbies

She is in the habit of painting memorable scenes she's experienced as a way to decompress. It is something she learnt from her mother. C**hapter 1,018**

## Appearance

She is an almost picture perfect copy of Be'Zi (**Chapter 470**) and has bright silver hair (**Chapter 685**). She would be considered a beauty among Draugr and boasts an impressive amount of cleavage, according to Zac, a fact masked by her commonly wearing cultivation dresses in darker overtones (**Chapter 697**). She has a lithe waist and swaying hips that Zac finds his eyes drift to, despite his better judgement (**Chapter 710**).

Zac didn't know what Catheya had been through since they met last, but it felt like every single aspect of her had undergone a subtle yet very noticeable elevation. Her appearance had moved closer to perfection, in the same sense that Iz's features were marked by the Dao. She even carried herself with a level of grace that eclipsed her previous manner. Just taking a few steps into the building had almost been enough to steal Zac's breath away. **Chapter 946**

## Cultivation

Catheya’s aura had taken a drastic turn. She might not be at the peak of E-Grade, but she had to be at High E-grade from what Zac could tell (**Chapter 685**).

Catheya gave a clear aura of an elite, but even the Draugr scion’s aura was a lot less condensed than Zac’s when he didn’t mask it (**Chapter 688**)

It was not just her appearance either; her aura was incredibly condensed, eclipsing that of elites like Leyara and Ogras. She still wasn't at the level of Iz, but it was far beyond her previous status as a decently talented Scion of the Empire Heartlands. It looked like Catheya had encountered some lucky opportunities of her own since they last met, real significant ones at that. **Chapter 946**

### Class

**Unknown E grade Class - Rarity unknown**

She has a class related to ice, one of the three great heritages of the Undead (**Chapter 700**).

"... a Lich-Ice Mage hybrid ..." **Chapter 702**

He'd already seen hints of it before, but Catheya had clearly revamped her ice-focused heritage over the past year. Now, there was a strong aura of death inside, and Zac almost felt like she had conjured the deathly water of the Abyssal Shores and frozen it. **Chapter 991**

#### Skills

* **Unknown Communication skill** - can summon Ice Crystals that she can use to communicate with others (**Chapter 701**). The Crystals can also seemingly be used for scouting purposes (**Chapter 714**)
* **Unknown Barrier Breaking Skill** - "... conjured a series of small icicles that slammed into the barrier. Zac saw they weren’t hitting it randomly, though, but they rather formed a circle with some sort of constellation within. A moment later, the whole barrier cracked." **Chapter 702**
* **Unknown Attack Skill** - "... a blade of ice ..." **Chapter 702**
* **Unknown Attack Skill** - she summoned icicles that instantly froze a body of water radiating an immense cold **Chapter 704**
* **Unknown -** a small blue ice flower is summoned that unleashes a weak blue light that is capable of flash freezing at least E grade cultivators before they can react (**Chapter 705**). This is the only skill Zac has witnessed her braid both her Dao into (**Chapter 709**).
* **Unknown Defensive Skill -** A storm of miasma gathered around her as a large fortress of pure ice sprung up out of nowhere. Creating an impervious barrier radiating a glacial intractability. Four glistening crystals appeared above the ramparts. The defence crumbles when the four crystals are extinguished (**Chapter 707**). The Crystals slowly recover if the assault on the defence ceases for long enough (**Chapter 708**).
* **Unknown movement skill -** some sort of frostblink ability (**Chapter 714**).
* **Unknown** - Summons hundreds of crystalline flowers around her. They look like a beautiful display gently floating in the wind but to **[**Cosmic Gaze**]**, they all looked like miniature bombs filled with ice and death. They flew into the field of wraiths and began a deadly dance that ground all wraiths to dust over and over in an endless cycle. **Chapter 991**
* **Unknown** - A black crown of ice appeared on her head as she rose into the air. Five teardrops with ancient engravings of ice appeared behind her head, and a frigid cold swept out in every direction. In no time, an area of hundreds of meters had been turned into a world of ice. **Chapter 993**

She has also been shown empowering her Deathsworn with her ice abilities (**Chapter 702**).

### Dao

She most likely had two Dao, with the main one being related to ice. She had also used a death-attuned Dao a few times, mostly while taking out her corpses to tinker with (**Chapter 709**).

Her Ice affinities are among the top three in her generation in the clan (**Chapter 716**).

“It’s just a third Dao Fragment I was forced to form just to stay alive ... Now I have to figure out what to do with a second Ice Dao.” **Chapter 755**

It looked like Catheya had opted to go all-in on an offensive *Ice* Dao while her other *Ice* one was more all-purpose from what he’d seen so far (**Chapter 755**).

According to her father she's set the foundations for a second branch and her affinities have increased likely thanks to the Death Affinity natural treasure (**Chapter 756**) Zac gave her (**Chapter 789**).

She has been given the same dispensation to cultivate pure Death as Be'Zi received in the past. **Chapter 950**

The icicle shot forward, but the expected scene of rock bearing blasted apart by a branch-infused attack didn't take place. **Chapter 991**

### Achievements

Catheya reached the last level of the eighth floor, falling just one level short of Zac. **(Chapter 676)** Her performance in the Tower of Eternity should elevate her status from a second-seed to first seed talent within the clan, perhaps even as soon as she returned. But she was still lacking the accomplishments to cement her status as a talent to nurture. She believed that her performance in the **Twilight Ascent** could be the ticket to gain the top treatment among the Draugr youth. **(Chapter 687)**

### Bloodline

When she was born, she was lucky enough to have a strong mark of Zi despite her mother's weak heritage. So she became an official daughter of the main clan. **Chapter 1,018**

She has at least five Hidden Nodes, of which one of them was opened natally. Catheya had opened her fifth Hidden Nodes inside the Perennial Vastness, four of which were bloodline nodes (**Chapter 1,048**).

* A special hidden node related to her nose.
	+ It’s a natural scouting ability that can help her with everything from finding treasures to spotting hidden enemies. It allowed her to sense Zac's Draugr heritage back in the Base Town of the Tower of Eternity (**Chapter 716**)

### Necromancy

Adriel stated that she craves unique bodies for experimentation, preferably ones learned toward the Three Great Arts. (**Chapter 444**)

She has broadened her study of formations from just focusing on raising bodies after visiting the Abyssal Shores. She realized she couldn't just focus on her cultivation if she wanted to become a real Heaven's Chosen. All the bigshots have some unique advantages. Formations will help her both in combat and while adventuring. After learning about the Left Imperial Palace, she's redoubled her efforts. **Chapter 992**

### Body, Soul and Heart Cultivation

**Three Purities**

* Its name was simple, but the technique was extraordinary. It was an Ice-Death Fusion Manual that cleansed and harmonized one's three fundamentals: Body, Heart, and Soul. **Ch 1,171**
* It was Body Tempering, yet it wasn't. The same could be true for the Soul and Heart. Cultivating it wouldn't put your constitution on par with a powerful Body Tempering Cultivator, and your soul wouldn't be a match to a Mentalist's. **Ch 1,171**
* It was a unique method Catheya hadn't seen before that purified and linked Heart, Soul, and Body into one unbreakable whole. No aspect would stand out, yet none would be lacking. You would become flawless like a pristine piece of ice. Bottlenecks would become easier to overcome, and she wouldn't lack in any aspect of her cultivation. **Ch 1,171**

### **Black Ice Cosmos**

* her own creation of fusing Earthly and Heavenly Harmonization and Dao Domain into an Earthly Domain she called **[Black Ice Cosmos]**. Just getting this far was already a huge accomplishment, but Catheya wasn't satisfied with just this. Her creation was taxing to use and limited in effect if channeled in a hostile environment. **Ch 1,171**
