Irune's Links
Gives him information about black marketers and slaver locations in exchange for Nemesis not killing her and also whatever wealth he steals from slavers that is left after helping the freed slaves. Technically profits much less from working with Nemesis than with slavers, but Irune still has plenty of morality within her. Thinks he is eccentric and odd, but the most interesting of her clients, even though she only sees Nemesis very infrequently.
Tried to kill her when they first met because Irune was in negotiations with slavers (she was about to decline but caught them at a bad time). Currently receives information from Irune about the location of slavers yet is often irritated by her attempts to be "friends". Thinks of her as a "frilly parasite", dangerous because of the greed and ambition in Irune's eyes that feels entirely too similar to the slavers he slaughters.
Irune's association with the IPC is through the Strategic Investment Department, and therefore often corresponded with them through Zirconia. She thinks Zirconia is an interesting case and maintained friendly relations with her, although Zirconia didn't seem very interested. Congratulated her on her marriage and even gifted Zirconia a necklace. Knows that Zirconia is surprisingly irrelevant in the grand schemes of the IPC but is the first to notice and perhaps even care that she has distanced herself from the IPC. Has offered Cora a job as the manager of her information web in Asdana which might give her the protection she needs after fleeing the IPC, but not out of kindness- rather knowing that her intelligence and skills will be useful to her.
Irune is one of the many people that Diamond didn't bother seeing but still wanted things out of. Cora thinks Irune is shady, but at least she was friendly to her, unlike most people who Cora has to work with. She is somewhat aware of Irune's possible heritage and the fact that Irune had definitely worked with Aventurine to find any remaining Sigonians. Cora is incredibly cautious of Irune because she knows exactly how she works by exploiting fears, but can't help but to be tempted by Irune's offer- she knows she's endangering Siobhan and her Troupe by making an enemy of the IPC, after all.
A new friend (client)! Irune successfully bothered Nemesis into making them introduce her to Aelia and Boothill with the intention to sell them information. She knows the risks of sharing information from the IPC considering the duo's hatred for the organization, as well as the IPC's suspicion of her selling their information, but finds the ordeal amusing enough to hang on. Irune has tempted Aelia over to business by promising information on Aves and the IPC's new plans for her homeland, also hoping she buys other information off of her as well. All's fair in business, after all.
Aelia distrusts Irune more than anything, but Irune has information that Aelia can't exactly just ignore. With obvious ties to the IPC, the very people Aelia is out to get, Irune is just as dangerous as the IPC themselves. Nemesis already warned Aelia and Boothill that Irune could turn around and sell information from their own interactions right back to the IPC, which could put the both of them in danger.
But names of the IPC heads involved in the Aves Project. Names of the Stonehearts involved, of what the IPC has been doing in recent years, of a possible return to Aelia's ruined homeplanet.
Aelia does not trust Irune, but she has no choice but to turn to the information dealer - she's the only lead Aelia has.
