Advisors

# The Pentekath

*The Pentekath is the designation given to the following five humans with unique genetic mutations:*

* Emma Marshall [Prota]
* Luis Perez-Brown [Prosarmogi]
* Yusuf Kumalo [Metamorph]
* Zoleka Fisher [Chrona]
* Ava [Elpida]

Each of these humans has shown a resistance or immunity to strains of the corrugenic virus. Variations of their genetic profile are integrated into the Chimera in hope of creating a human-hybrid that is immune to all strains of the corrugenic virus.

In Sanctuaries where the Pentekath have taken over day-to-day operations of the Sanctuary, they are commonly referred to as 'Advisors'.

The GenMat you collect levels up one of your advisors, depending on type, indicated by their corresponding icons. Level up Advisors to increase the duration of their boosts when activated.

## Advisors

### Prota「Emma Marshall」

    Born in the American city of Philadelphia in 2017, Emma Marshall was the first human to have inbuilt immunity to the original strain of the corrugenic virus. The discovery of Emma's immunity was celebrated, giving hope that the disease could someday by defeated. Her face became a symbol of optimism during turbulent times and was seen emblazoned on t-shirts, hats, and posters.

Before her death, Emma's genetic material was collected in hopes that it could be used in the future. Many years later, she was cloned. Emma's clones are unique for being the only members of the Pentekath to live before the corrugenic outbreak. However, due to issues with the long-term storage of Emma's genetic material, the clones deal with heightened degrees of neurological degradation that increase with age.

### Prosarmogi「Luis Perez-Brown」

    Luis Perez-Brown was one of humanity's greatest scientific assets due to his ability to adapt to the corrugenic disease. Born in Capinota, Bolivia in 2036, Luis was a child when large-scale air purifiers caused rapid desertification to parts of South America. Miraculously, he survived for nearly a decade in the wasteland, much of it spent on his own. In his teens, he was discovered by an American research team and brough to America to be tested. He had difficulties adjusting to a lifestyle that was limited in freedom, despite the security it provided.

Ironically, Luis died to corrugenic disease, his adaptive DNA unable to react quickly enough to an infection. He is survived by clones that were created from his genetic material.

### Metamorph 「Yusuf Kumalo」

Yusuf Kumalo was a medical mystery, having gained temporary immunity to the corrugenic virus from an experimental drug.

Born in 2118 to genetic scientists in Fort Cape, South Africa, Yusuf's family fled to the Robben Island Research Center when their home was overrun by raiders. There, he began training to guard the coastline against attacks.

When Robben Island later fell to raiders, Yusuf was extracted by Sanctuary forces as a person of interest. He underwent cloning and his clones were distributed to other Sanctuaries.

There are no records of what become of the original Yusuf Kumalo or if he continues to live through genetic renewal.

### Chrona 「Zoleka Fisher」

Zoleka Fisher was a wastelander who displayed resistance to nearly all strains of the corrugenic virus. A

descendant of Yusuf Kumalo (Metamorph), there had been speculation that a drug used on Yusuf activated generations later in Zoleka.

A member of the Clan Rivirium from birth, Zoleka was born in 2201 in the region of Belt A21, England. Her life was spent enmeshed in the Rust Wars ─ an ever-shifting conflict between dozens of clans on the island of Great Britain ─ where she was trained as a hunter-soldier. During one assignment, Zoleka's squad was forced into a high viral area by enemy forces, but she remained uninfected.

Zoleka eventually fled Great Britain, arriving near-death at a Sanctuary's door. When she was found to have unique genetics, she was given refuge and treated for radiation sickness. Clones were made from her genetic material and distributed to Sanctuaries. The status of the original Zoleka Fisher is unknown.

### Elpida 「Ava」

    Ava was a wastelander with natural immunity to most strains of the corrugenic virus. It's estimated that she was born in approximately 2255, likely in the wastes of Russia or the Middle East. Though her lineage was of scientific interest, she had no memories of her mother and father. A tribe agreed to raise her in exchange for weaponry form her parents ─ a deal that's common when a family is unable to provide for their child.
Ava grew up in an anti-chimeric tribe that believed chimeras intended to replace humanity and were responsible for the Earth's destruction. However, in her teenage years, her tribe was wiped out after warring with a chimera-worshipping cult. Ava was taken prisoner and user for menial tasks before converting to the tribe's philosophies and gaining their trust. Over time, her tribe noticed how fortunate she was in avoiding contagion. They delivered her to a Sanctuary for testing where her remarkable genetic material was distributed to others in the cooperative. The status of the original Ava is unknown.

## Codex

In many Sanctuaries, the Pentekath (Prota, Prosarmogi, Metamorph, Chrona, and Elpida) are known as Advisors. This terminology came about in Sanctuaries where most or all of the scientific personnel had died. In such cases as these, the Sanctuary was automated as much as possible to sustain the most important individuals (the Pentekath, Custodian, and Chimera). The Pentekath were given jobs that would stimulate their minds and that required some amount of human direction. They essentially became advisors for the Custodian, thus the title.

The Advisors, on top of their new duties, continue to be an integral part of the Chimera Project by donating their genetics to the Chimera through the act of processing.
