Sesus Kajak Nara is a well-bred elder Fire-aspected Senator of the House Sesus caucus within the Deliberative. She is married to Ragara Thelos, a son of senator Ragara Agares, and mother to a brood of well-bred children.
Nara is considered an authority on matters of breeding, with a particular focus on the influence of ambient environment and activity during conception and pregnancy. Though it would be impolite to speak of it, most knowledgeable in the area will be confident she has some knowledge of Biogenesis and Sorcery.
In legislation, Nara’s primary concern is clearly the Office of the Divine Elemental Essence and its associated laws and records. She has worked closely with Senator Cynis Lyhisa on several bills to secure funding for the Office, though they are not considered bosom allies due to disagreements over its purpose: while Lyhisa holds the Office ought hold power to decide marriages as they are unions to produce offspring, Nara holds that marriage is a matter of politics and property and that the Scarlet Dynasty’s ‘misguided obsession with the relation of marriage and child, with blood line through spouse to offspring, has damaged the strength of our breeding and set us back ten generations’, a view considered controversial by some.
Equally controversial was an attempt, during the cuts to the Thousand Scales following the disappearance of the Scarlet Empress, to propose the disbandment of the Incorruptible Observers of Geomantic Harmony and Bureau of Climatic Deliberations, with ‘those few assets and responsibilities of note under their aegis’ to be transferred to the Essence Office. Though negotiation failed to see such a measure passed at the time, Nara has continued to lobby for it, and has found increasing support amongst those in favour of pushing further cuts to the Scales.
