Kela de Thaym is the leader of the Grineer on the dwarf planet Sedna, and presides over the trial by combat known as Rathuum, providing both justice and entertainment – to the extent the Grineer understand either. In Rathuum, accused Grineer defectors – or their defenders – face off against Kela's hand-picked Executioners in a fight to the death. Rathuum was introduced to the Tenno in Operation: Rathuum. Her Assassination mission can be found at Merrow, on Sedna, but costs 25 Judgement Points to enter. Judgement Points can be earned in Rathuum arenas at Nakki, Yam, and Vodyanoi on Sedna.
Mission taunts
The Assassination mission takes place in the context of Operation: Rathuum, so dialogue is specific to the events of that operation. The Lotus does not give any character background, but Kela de Thaym will taunt the Tenno as they approach her arena.
Kela de Thaym: "Tenno, you really want this? Fine! Let's do this!"
Kela de Thaym: "Wake up, you gutsacks! The Tenno cheaters have decided to disrespect the rules of Rathuum, and come after me directly. [crowd boos] Should I show them what we do to cheaters?" [crowd cheers]
Kela de Thaym: "I can tell you understand what an honour this will be, to have your tiny necks snapped by the Kela de Thaym! That's why you're so eager. I can appreciate that, and so does my audience!" [crowd cheers]
Large holo-screens can be seen in the arena and leading up to it. When not broadcasting her messages or crowd shots, they read "ALL H THE SIST" – implied to mean "ALL HAIL THE SISTERS".

Cressa Tal: "Nicely done, Tenno. Defeating Kela in front of her audience will show all Grineer that there is another way."
Kela de Thaym was the main antagonist of Operation: Rathuum and the recurring Dog Days Tactical Alert. She is mentioned by Jarka. Kela de Thaym had additional lines, as well as character background by the Lotus, in her pre-rework version, before Update 18.10.
