Biography
A member of the Mount Zakol Awakened Being Hunting Party, led by Jean. From her room at a Hanel inn, Clare sees them leaving for Mount Zakol. At Mount Zakol, the hunting party enters an abandoned castle, the Witch's Maw.

They are taken prisoner by Riful of the West, and her consort, Dauf. Raquel escapes back to Hanel, where she informs Clare before dying.

Back in Riful's torture chamber, the three remaining party members undergo extreme torture by Dauf. Riful is trying to create an army of Awakened Beings to fight Isley of the North.

Riful admits killing 30 Claymores before the present hunting party, failing to get even one awakened success. The fourth unnamed Claymore has died. Katea succumbs and awakens, despite Jean's pleads. Once awakened, Katea attacks Dauf. But Riful is only testing Katea. Dauf reports to Riful that Katea is too weak. Riful orders Katea destroyed.
