Charles Gemmel
Our story begins in summer the year 1892, on the long docks of London, during the late Victorian era. Barely a man, young Charles Gemmel lives a rather ordinary life as a dock worker. His hands blistered from loading trade goods onto the local merchant ships that are bound for different ports. He works from sunrise to sunset enjoying the physical labor.
Facade
A chance encounter with a beautiful siren will soon change his life forever. Plunging him headlong into a visceral nightmare and upending his reality. Beneath the veil of his shattered worldview lies a fantastic realm filled with magic and intrigue but also great peril!
The Archive
These powerful weapons are kept secret by the government's of the world. Their very existence is denied. However not all of present day society is unaware of these extraordinary artifacts. Many individuals seek out these relics attempting to claim power for themselves, they are called The Collectors.
Many of these collectors have inherited other relics and seek to gain more power. Others are wealthy aristocrats seeking only to acquire them as status symbols. Among the most powerful of the collectors is a clandestine organization called The Archive. Their mission is to actively hunt down and process the relics for safekeeping. Scientists, historians, and archeologists study these objects in order to determine the origin and nature of the relic. After a full documentation the weapons are vaulted away for safekeeping from the public.
Mathilda Klein
The way of the gun. It's all Mathilda Klein has ever known. Orphaned and barefoot in the mud-caked streets of St. Louis, Missouri, she was taken in by The Archive at an early age. They offered her an education and gave her shelter. Two decades later she is one of The Archive's top field operatives.
