Sorren

A light-seeking mimic scout who betrays the Bound for freedom, only to die holding a door.

Sorren is a unique Bound scout capable of mimicking others, distinguished by an intense longing for the surface light. This desire ultimately leads Sorren to become a seeded betrayer in Book 5, accepting the Harvest's offer of freedom in exchange for guiding them past the Bound defenses. By Book 6, Sorren operates as a traitor-within and proxy tool, though they are eventually warded back into their own form before meeting their end while holding a door shut.
