## History

### Arc 14: Haven

Charity was a part of the traveling shaman gang/family known as the Tarbabys, though it seemed she carried distaste for her families destructive activities. Starting in 2094, the group set up base in the abandoned Cadson labs, a building owned and operated by Pentacorp. Hank carried out raids on the local town of Haven, causing tensions to rise between the two groups. Eventually, in September of 2096, the vampire known as Stoker carried out an attack on Cadson labs with Haven's other residents, forcing the Tarbabys out. It was during her brother Sean's death during the attack that Charity escaped the gang, helping Haven's people drive out her own and taking up residence in Haven.

Charity helped repel Tarbaby attacks on the town while she stayed there. She began dating a town resident, Ryker.

On October 9th, the NW6 met Charity while she was handing out guns to Haven residents in the aftermath of Brice's death. She told the group of her family history, that her father led the Tarbaby gang, and she'd gotten sick of his activities. She'd turned on them, helping with Antoinette's raid, and returned to Haven with the other residents. She recounted what happened as Stoker took over: making some people thralls, turning others. She mentioned he had taken most of the town's fighters away. She willfully told the group what she knew of Cadson labs, and that the tunnels below where a good bet at the group getting in undetected.

Later, some Tarbaby shaman under Stoker's flag attacked the town, alongside a few nosferatu and Sheriff Grissom. Charity fought to defend the town, summoning a wave of sludge to drag down two shaman from the roof of one of the buildings, burying them in muck and killing them.

After the battle, Charity told Addie now that Stoker's biggest hitters in Haven were taken out, her family was likely to move in, kill the biggest guy in town, and take over. At Addie's suggestion for the civilians to be taken out of town to safety, Charity agrees to help protect them. Sometime after the NW6 left to confront Stoker and his minions, Charity told Ryker to follow them and take data from Cadson labs for the Net Watch, but not tip anyone off on his activities. He agreed, and set out.

When everyone arrives back in Haven, the NW6 met up with Charity, Ryker in tow. The woman only had to lay eyes on him before she realized he'd slipped something about her secret. Charity immediately dropped any guise of friendliness, showing hostility toward the group. She eased off slightly when she wasn't met with hostility in return from the NW6, and was willing to answer some of their questions about her group. She told them the Net Watch was a secretive church that believed humanity's ascension to superiority would come through the use of technology. Addie voiced that she assumed she was talking about eugenics, which Charity instantly denied. She told them her people worshiped the Net, they hoped to tap into its power through prayer, aggressive use of technology, and Saint Reinhart's advancements in order to take on the Reckoners and take humanity's world back.

She then apologized for assuming the worst, mentioned her group wasn't big yet, and was still building its power base. Levy agreed to exchange information with her, willing to give her data on food modification and certain genetic data, but refused to give her anything on Project Salamander. Though Charity seemed unhappy with the exclusion of information, she agreed to keep communication open with the group.
