We can assert that Seth is the one responsible for Irina's survival and inhabiting the cat body, and decided to collect some of the vessels of sin she created for her own purposes.

That's the most I think we can say based on what it is. I feel there's a much deeper connection between them, but that's looking between the lines when there are no lines yet written. XP

I think the Priema thing is just a tie in. She's the 10th woman kidnapped, allegedly, and by the time Lilien joins, there's over 15. It gives us an idea of people the Duke kidnapped:

Lukana > Mikulia > Mirigan > Lolan > Gumina > Carol > Priema > [three other people somewhere on this list before Priema and then at least five more after] > Lilien > [more women] > Kachess
