Niriem [d. 164 BG] was the Chief of Serena Butler's Seraphim.
History[]
In 177 BG, she accompanied Serena while in the City of Introspection when she was alone with her mother, Livia Butler. When one of the Seraphim suddenly attempted to assassinate her (actually arranged by Iblis Ginjo), Niriem stopped and killed her. Serena then appointed Niriem the Chief Seraph and showed most confidence to her.
In the following years, Niriem followed closely Serena everywhere, and accompanied her in all her travels, even to the remote Hessra. She even followed her as a representative of the League of Nobles to Corrin.
Serena accompanied by Niriem and other 4 Seraphim. They met with Omnius in the Central Spire and Serena demanded that all human slaves be released. The Machines imprisoned her for some time until Omnius decided to execute her.
Erasmus however realized that Serena intended to become a martyr and ordered the executor robots to stop. Niriem, following the 'plan B' laid out by Ginjo, delivered a fatal blow, killing Butler and restarting outrage among the League. The Seraphim launched themselves against the robots in a final stand, and destroyed 26 machines before being slaughtered.
