Otzot. From my deductions, she has the most to gain from fracturing the Cabal.
For those unaware, Otzot is the highest ranking Psion within the Cabal. She is the Cabal's lead scientist and treacherous ruler of the Psions. Otzot helped Gaul and co oust Calus due to his desire to free the Psions, which would dilute her status as a freeborn Psion. The fact that Caiatl freed them anyway gives motive to Otzot.
As for the "how", it wouldn't be hard to rally other Psions to betray Caiatl. Their race was enslaved for generations, so a recent act of good faith wouldn't quell all the hatred. Using the fractures in the Cabal Empire to finally decimate their prior captors would be a sweet revenge to many Psions.
At least that's my deduction

The Leader is obviously Amtec. Zavala was the one who was behind foiling her plans. First being, take over the sundial and make a future where the red legion won. Her second was, crash the Almighty into the city for revenge. So she probably REALLY wants him dead.

4 RepliesWhat if it was Eris behind it all. The darkness did warn about a traitor in our midst and in the dark future she led the dark army plus the assault that destroyed the last city.

1 ReplyThe assassin was just an assassin. I think you mean the Leader/ the one who ordered the hit. In the lore the assassin was killed by Saladin. Zavala just wounded the Psion.
