Case File — The Making of Helena
Former human soldier, critically injured by an explosion glyph in a battle against rogue necromancer forces — limbs sheared apart, body irrecoverable by conventional means.
Dr. Hold Therence, a rogue scientist chasing his own "vision" of an indestructible body, took her to his secret laboratory. Sixty agonizing hours and hundreds of healing potions later, Helena became Fortimis's first cyborg — arcane runes inscribed into her brain now drive her forged limbs, and her destroyed midriff was replaced with a soul core bound from 600 lives.
Her eyes were the one thing left intact — until he carved those out too, replacing them with arcane-tech orbs granting long-range sight and an inner sense of her own body's condition.
Therence was never executed. He's kept alive, a prisoner, in case her "systems" ever fail.
Now classified as a soldier but kept off the front lines, Helena serves as bodyguard of Fortimis keep, occasionally sent on solo missions. She trained as a maid during her long recovery — the uniform she wears was made for her by her teacher, Mikoro.
