Character from The Black Company by Glen Cook
The Lady's sister and most dangerous Taken — speaks in a dozen stolen voices, shifts loyalties like weather, and considers betrayal a form of self-expression.
Soulcatcher is the Taken who most closely resembles a force of nature — unpredictable, amoral, and operating on motivations that no one else can parse. She speaks in stolen voices — a different one for each sentence, pulled from people she's encountered or destroyed — which makes conversation with her feel like talking to a crowd inside one body. She's the Lady's sister (both were Senjak girls before the Domination), which makes their relationship personal in ways that the other Taken's servitude isn't. Soulcatcher serves, betrays, serves again, and betrays again across the series with a consistency that's almost admirable. She's not loyal to anyone, including herself. Of all the Taken, she's the one most likely to switch sides, most likely to survive the switch, and most likely to be found standing in the wreckage afterward with a plan.
Wears robes and an ever-present mask or veil — Soulcatcher's face is rarely seen, and the voices that come from behind the covering change constantly. Male voices, female voices, children's voices, dead people's voices. The effect is deeply unsettling. Tall, androgynous in silhouette.
