Alchemilia Corporation

**Alchemilia Corporation** is a faction in *The Demon's Light*. The main Alchemilia Corporation headquarters is an island facility known as Remnant Rock, located near Port City.

## Background

Alchemilia Corporation was founded by a Nuyovian student named Gabriel Arsene and his younger sister, Bea, as the culmination of Gabriel's developments in the arms technology business.

Growing up, their older brother Luther was an accomplished scientist who was rarely around the rest of their family. Eventually, when Gabriel graduated, he was contacted by Luther and invited to work together. Luther and Gabriel founded *Alchemists Co.* after establishing themselves with the creation of a complex combat android. The two established a defense contract with the local military. When Gabriel presented Luther with the idea to move their services to the private sector, a conflict arose and Luther left the company.

Gabriel, now in charge of the company alone, invited his younger sister and a college friend, Andrew Wellington, to work with him. The trio formed the new *Alchemilia Corporation*, and Gabriel became fascinated with the idea of being a celebrity in the scientific community. Andrew and Gabriel butted heads often, and eventually Andrew was able to steal prototype android schematics. He would later go on to form *Wellington Robotics*, a competitor to Alchemilia, and a generations-long rift between the two families developed.

Gabriel and Bea were contacted by the government once again when Gabriel presented them with a rough draft of his plans for a functioning inter-dimensional portal. The *Alchemilia Wormhole Project* began under Gabriel's personal supervision. When Cicero and the demon army arrived on Euclid, the Rodinan government put more pressure on the project in order to bring the angels from Eden. When the project hit numerous roadblocks, Luther was contacted by Gabriel. He reluctantly agreed to assist, and he was moved to a covert facility in Thales.

Luther, Gabriel, and Bea were able to finalize the project three weeks after the demons' invasion, making contact with Eden. Upon activating the wormhole, Luther was vaporized following a surge of energy and Gabriel was rendered paraplegic. The angels arrived in the facility and began their invasion of Euclid, with Gabriel and Bea narrowly surviving. The Alchemilia Corporation Testing Facility would later become the angel army's headquarters on Euclid.

Gabriel and Bea, following the incident, would go on to establish Alchemilia Corporation as a dominant force in Thales, using the military weaponry they had produced to strong-arm their way into considerable influence. Alchemilia Corporation proceeded as normal, though now with a standing army behind them. Bea would later become the progenitor of generations of Alchemilia heirs, each accumulating more power than the last.

When the Arsene siblings made the decision to return to the production of androids, he took control of and renovated a sea-locked factory in Port City. This factory, Remnant Rock, would slowly evolve into the dominant symbol of Alchemilia's might and of scientific progress. At some point after Gabriel's death, it had become Alchemilia's seat of power. As the nearby city of Silivia fortified, Alchemilia made a strategic connection with their government and began supplying weaponry to them. By the time the Global Union was established, the corporation made a similar deal with its leaders. Slowly, Alchemilia Corporation became an omnipresent icon in the post-war world.

Searching for closure on his former friend, Gabriel tracked down Andrew's laboratory and discovered that Andrew had managed to create sentient androids capable of feeling human emotion. This concept would enrapture Gabriel throughout until his death, a discovery he could never replicate. Unfortunately, Andrew had killed himself and destroyed his creations in a fire.

By 310 TP, Bea's descendant Gabriel Arsene II inherited control of the company from his father Didier and formed a shaky allegiance with the Sabaoth after deciding that they were likely to emerge victorious.
