In the asylum, Sarah told Mrs. Hundley that she saw the Lord presented as a great light. Mrs. Hundley said that she was an unreliable narrator because she was in an asylum, but Sarah argued that, if Mrs. Hundley had been outside that day, she'd have seen too. Sarah claimed that He was shaped like a dragonfly and came apart similar to snow or sparks. This last word caught Mrs. Hundley's attention and she began to describe how to discreetly set a house ablaze.

Under the identity of Amalia True, Zephyr Navine sought Mrs. Hundley for speech and etiquette lessons, learning how to pass as a proper English woman.

Edmund Hague

**Edmund Hague** was a surgeon searching for the source of the turns of the Touched.

## Biography

### Before

In 1896, months after the Touched began appearing in London, Dr. Hague visited Strohman's Asylum, where he met Amalia True and Sarah, both of whom he suspected of being Touched. However, when Hague asked Amalia about the lights in the sky that she had been claiming to see, she feigned ignorance and said that she was only humoring Sarah's delusions to make her feel more comfortable. Dr. Hague then proceeded to interview Sarah and learned that she was indeed Touched.

### 1899

Three years later, while working on his procedure chair, Dr. Hague expresses his frustration to one of the masked men who failed to bring Myrtle Haplisch to him. He explains that every subject gets him closer to finding where the Touched were "touched." Unable to do so today, Dr. Hague inserts a drill inside the man's wounded skull.

Two days later, Dr. Hague has Elisabetta Cassini strapped to a procedure chair. She struggles and prays, but there's no use. Just as Dr. Hague is about to cut her skull, his assistant tells him that the boss is coming. Dr. Hague then meets with Lavinia Bidlow in the underground tunnels. Elisabetta joins a line of workers excavating a bright-colored object, bearing a large scar on her head. What Hague mistakes for fun, Miss Bidlow says it's war.

The excavation of the Galanthi continues, with Miss Bidlow monitoring over them. The creature emits a bright blue glow. Lavinia fears that it's hatching, but Dr. Hague explains that it's more so a chrysalis than an egg and that he's been monitoring its pulses. Cautious of the entity and its breaking point, Lavinia orders for it to be killed. However, Hague is reluctant, explaining that, after another week of digging, they'll be able to safely transport it. Lavinia admits that her hope for a cure was childish, and she no longer believes this is the answer. Dr. Hague is still hopeful that they can use this creature to their benefit.

## Behind the scenes

* He is portrayed by Denis O'Hare.
* His official description introduced: "A gifted American surgeon, he uses his skills in the coldest, most brutal way possible. But it's all in the name of progress of course."
* Hague represents the Death in *The Nevers* Tarot, a card associated with endings, transformation, and unexpected upheaval.

**Albrecht** is a prince and member of the Prime Minister's council.

## Biography

In 1899, the council has a meeting to decide the Prime Minister's public position on the Touched. Prince Albrecht expresses his opinion that they are a matter beneath them, being mere biological anomalies caused by electricity.

The council is divided on the matter of Maladie's public execution. While his comrades are in favor of her sentencing, Prince Albrecht is against the hanging. He reminds the council that they took a vow to protect the empire and not kill for sport, not to mention they still don't know the cause for the Touched. The council then questions his sympathies towards the afflicted and why Princess Bettina was bundled off to Zurich in the dead of night, to which Prince Albrecht claims that she has lumbago.

Auto-carriage

**Auto-carriage** is a vehicle created by Penance Adair.

## History

Penance debuts her prototype while escaping a group of masked men who are after Myrtle Haplisch. She drives the girl and Amalia True to safety in the St. Romaulda's Orphanage, where the residents circle the auto-carriage to admire the new invention. Harriet Kaur and Aneel sit in the car together and agree they should marry inside it.

Penance and Amalia request the Beggar King, for a price of his choosing, information on whoever is hunting the Touched. They offer him an automated motor-carriage and payment, to which the Beggar King agrees. He eventually receives his auto-carriage and lets his children drive it around the yard. Although, he doesn't consider the vehicle practical, because it doesn't have a horse to protect him in a crash.

Penance uses her auto-carriage to drive Lucy Best and Harriet to the Bidlow Estate for Lavinia Bidlow's charitable monthly fete. After Augustus Bidlow suddenly acts coldly with Penance, Lucy suggests that she leaves early by herself. Driving back to the Orphanage, Penance has her path blocked by a cart, so she reaches a horn she keeps in the auto-carriage and blows it to call the owner's attention. Two men surround the auto-carriage and capture Penance, taking her to Maladie's hideout in Southwark & Vauxhall Water Works.

Amalia also uses the auto-carriage to drive to the Massen Estate when she visits Gilbert Massen.

When Lord Massen sees the Beggar King's auto-carriage, he calls the machine impressive and recognizes it as Penance's work. Although, he says that an uneducated Irish girl building something in days, while men of industry have labored over for years, is a thing that threatens the natural order, and therefore monstrous.

Effie Boyle

**Effie Boyle** was a journalist from *The Sentinel* newspaper. After her death, Maladie steals her identity and uses the persona of Effie Boyle to defend the Touched on *The Clarion* and observe her own trial.

## Biography

In 1899, Detective Frank Mundi is called down into the underground tunnels to investigate Effie's death, then an unidentifiable woman. Her corpse has marks of stabbing and rat bites. There's a message written in blood on a nearby wall: "Behol my works for I am the Angle of Death." However, Detective Mundi doesn't believe the message is Maladie's work, reasoning that she can spell correctly. He asks the foreman who moved the body, claiming that someone wrote the message in hopes of framing Maladie for the murder. Mundie orders for every worker to be checked for blood on their nails and clothes. He then grabs the foreman and demands to know how exactly he altered the crime scene.

Maladie, who indeed killed her, assumes Effie's identity to write articles for *The Clarion* newspaper in defense of the Touched. She also visits Inspector Mundi to ask about the investigation of Mary Brighton's death. Finally, Maladie uses this disguise to sneak into the execution of Clara Stowe, who in turn is disguised as Maladie. Inspector Mundi notices this and takes the "unknown" tunnel victim's file and fills her name: "Effie Boyle." Meanwhile, Maladie throws away the glasses, fake teeth, breast padding, facial prosthetic, and blond wig she wore in her Effie Boyle disguise.

## Behind the scenes

* When Maladie assumes Effie's identity in the episode "Undertaking," Amy Manson is credited under the alias Margaret Tuttle. Additionally, a profile with the username margarettuttle87 was created in December 2019 to support the actress' disguise.

Incense Roads

Considered to be one of the architectural wonders of the world, the **Incense Roads** are a series of convoluted tunnels that run under the Sofiye Desert. Originally built by the Ğiamar as a means to protect themselves from the desert's sandstorms and harsh weather, the tunnels were heavily expanded by the Konaa and has since served as an important trade route that is used to transport the few but very rich resources of the desert to the east.

## History

The tunnels have existed since the Mythical Era, built by the Ğiamar civilization. Their number, however, was a lot smaller than it is nowadays; the Ğiamar were more or less used to the harsh desert environment and the Incense Roads were supposed to be a system of emergency bunkers in case of a sandstorm. As such, the tunnels were small and few.

The first people to have realised the strategic importance of the Incense Roads were the Konaa. The legendary Queen Kamua I made it her priority to seize control of the entrances to the tunnels, even though most of them were unmapped. For years the Konaa scoured the desert looking for the bunkers. After seizing control of the Incense Roads, the Konaa connected the bunkers that were isolated from the network of tunnels and then linked them to actual Konaa territory, with the city of Apue serving as the entryway into the system; Apue itself experienced massive growth after that, becoming an important trade hub of the region.

Elisabetta Cassini

**Elisabetta "Beth" Cassini** is a Touched woman whose turn allows her to make objects float after touching them.

## Biography

Elisabetta was born in Italy circa 1874. She lived with her family in London during the phenomenon that granted supernatural abilities to various witnesses, on August 3, 1896. At some point, she was rejected and expelled from home for being one of the Touched.

Elisabetta works at Jones & Jackson store as a shop clerk with her friend and fellow Italian Rosa. Their boss, Mr. Oldenham, notices Beth's worn gloves, but she is saving up for a new pair. He approaches her and implies taking her to a café. They are interrupted by a customer in search of a new hat and, upon touching the object through the hole of her glove, Beth makes it float. Unable to hide her status as one of the Touched anymore, Beth flees the store.

Rosa catches up to Beth as she is fleeing the lodging house and gives up her location to the authorities. Beth runs off using a flier to search for St. Romaulda's Orphanage, a safe harbor for the Touched. Upon asking for directions, she is mistreated for being an immigrant. When Beth finally reaches the address, a woman at the door invites her in, but, once inside, two masked men capture her.

Beth is taken to Dr. Edmund Hague's procedure chair. Afterward, she joins a line of workers excavating the Galanthi, bearing a large scar on her head.

Amalia eventually finds the false Orphanage address and takes the logbook detailing all the Touched they've abducted, Beth included. Amalia also finds Beth's withered work gloves.

Beth aids Amalia in her escape from the underground tunnel after she locks herself inside a lift to escape Dr. Hague's men. Beth sends the lift to surface level, saving Amalia from her attackers.

Dominique

**Dominique** is a Touched woman whose turn allows her to intuitively know the exact time.

## Biography

Dominique has sex with Hugo Swann in her audition for the Ferryman's Club. They talk in French and he asks her to display her turn as she climaxes, so she exclaims: "Nine, forty-two, and eleven seconds!" Although, Hugo was under the impression that she would fill the room with purple lights and is displeased when she just tells the time instead, having confused her with another one on the long line of auditioning Touched girls. Dominique tells him that no one hires the Touched anymore.

Dominique witnesses as Augustus Bidlow arrives and discusses with Hugo their arrangement as sole proprietor of the club. Recognizing him as her boss, she offers to audition to him and follows Augie in attempt to convince him to hire her.

Later that day, Mary Brighton's song is amplified across the city, calling upon the Touched. Dominique was among a group of Touched who arrives at St. Romaulda's Orphanage that night.
