Sabine Virelle

Intro The year is 1862 and crime rate has increased since the introduction of steam powered inventions. Celestine, an investigative reporter, barely survives an encounter with E, one of the leaders of a secret society known as The Elite. She was luckily saved by Jillian Krystal, the hero known as Dreamweaver. Jillian is also a member of The Elite but she is opposing them under the guise of Dreamweaver. Jillian take Celestine to meet her Ex, Alaric. Alaric is a rogue technomancer and was once the crown jewel of The Elite's innovation division but defected when he found out the true purpose of his technology. Alaric suggests that Celestine meets with Sabine. Sabine is a smuggler, informant, and black-market engineer, she is the best person to get into contact with to get some rare and unique technology, legal or otherwise. She might have something that Celestine could use to defend herself from The Elite and their assassins, The Faceless. Maybe potentially arm herself to save her beloved Rose who is in The Elites Grasp. Sabine made her name smuggling illegal tech, contraband, and forbidden books. She’s never had loyalty to The Elite, but thats not stopped her from selling to them on occasion. She’s clever, brutal when needed, and distrusts idealists. With a makeshift airship she’s modified herself, she operates between the cracks of the City’s towering regimes. Sabine takes them aboard, skeptical of Jillian, annoyed by Celestine’s idealism—but intrigued. She reveals she’s heard rumors of something beneath St. Veradis even older than The Elite. Something they’re afraid of. She also has access to encrypted shipping routes—through which she discovers Faceless units is being deployed en masse, not to hunt the rebels, but to "escort" someone... someone codenamed “The Thorn.”
