Quintia Ronin

Quintia Ronin was a defense lawyer and Decima's mentor. She was murdered aged 32.

Early Life
Not much is known about Quintia's early life, apart from the fact that she was born on Narley.

Training Decima
After another successful trial, Quintia discovered 16-year-old Decima hiding on the Council's space station. Taking pity on her, Quintia took her under her wing and began training her to become a lawyer like her.

Death
After facing him many times in court, Quintia began to suspect that prosecutor Raul Settle was playing dirty; many pieces of evidence he used against the defendants seemed too perfect to be true. So Quintia began keeping tabs on him and started talking to people who had been seen associating with Raul. To her horror, she discovered that a lot of these people had been blackmailed into forging evidence for his trials. She continued investigating until Raul realised that he had been found out. He tried to get her to back off, but she refused, saying that she would destroy the perfect reputation he had broken the law to receive.

Panicked, Raul murdered Quintia one night and framed her nephew for the crime. Decima successfully proved his innocence and Raul's guilt, but sadly, Quintia's murderer went unpunished; Raul's older brother managed to help him escape the courtroom and neither of them were ever found until Inga's death a short time later.

Legacy
A few years after Quintia's death, Decima began training up her own apprentices: twins Jolyon and Xanthe. She uses Quintia's own methods, the ones she taught Decima, to train them.

Decima's first child is named Quintus in her honour.
