Orlana Seshadri

Mistress  is a human woman and a member of a Mahaan house. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Orlana is a human woman in her early 50s, with long dark hair streaked with gray. At the ball in Jrusar where Bells Hells first saw her, she wore her hair braided and fastened with gold and silver rings. She also wore long, dangling earrings, a shawl, and a red and gold gown.

Personality
Orlana is professional and fair, but busy and somewhat skeptical; she listened to Bells Hells' report regarding the Paragon's Call but required more proof than they were able to give.

Background
Orlana Seshadri comes from a mid-level Mahaan house, one low enough that Ariks Eshteross didn't expect they would be involved with the Chandei Quorum. Shortly before the start of Campaign 3: Bells Hells, she hired the Green Seekers to investigate various strange goings-on in Jrusar.

Orym noticed Orlana speaking to Gavis Aranda following Ashton's fight with Ratanish, before Orlana then went to speak to Armand Treshi. Orym kept an eye on her and noticed her making the rounds and having multiple brief conversations. Laudna used Unsettling Presence to get Orlana's attention, and in the ensuing conversation asked Orlana what her relationship was to Armand and to the Chandei Quorum. Orlana told Laudna that Armand was a business connection, and that she herself was only a member of a lower Mahaan house, focused primarily on animal husbandry. Laudna was unable to discern if this was true.

After the party helped the Green Seekers capture the mutated Emoth Kade, Gus and Olly told them that their employer was Orlana Seshadri, saying that she had "a longstanding disapproval and a healthy disdain for Mr. Armand Treshi." They had been employed by her about a month, and the threads they had been pursuing seemed to lead in Treshi's direction.

Eshteross informed Bells Hells that Orlana had been put in charge of the investigation into the dealings of Armand Treshi.

Bells Hells came to the Chandei Quorum chambers to return Treshi to her. She was surprised but appreciative, and seemed reassured by their connection to Eshteross. She rewarded the party with the bounty after mentioning that she had also hired Artana Voe to retrieve him. She listened to their mention of Ira Wendagoth and the Cerberus Assembly's involvement, but for the latter, told them that she could not do anything further nor believe their claims fully without firm proof.
