Alexandria Sinclaire

Conscripted at a young age due to circumstances beyond her control, Alexandria has proven to be incredibly valuable to E.N.I.G.M.A for a variety of reasons. Her affinity for the unknown and her unassuming, feminine exterior make her exceptional at gathering information. She has an otherworldly knack for tracking anomalies due to her unusual aetheric perception, and skills she acquired in her youth were put to great use during her time as a huntsman. This well rounded reputation earned her a spot in the special assignments division under the command of Col. James Fisk.

## History

### Early life

From the time she could walk Alexandria would accompany her father Robert Sinclaire on cartography explorations. Her earliest memories were of her looking out the glass bottom of the observation deck of their airship pointing out landmarks for him to draw. Many trips were spent inspecting things her father would return with, from rock samples and insects to textiles and even puzzles. Inevitably she grew interested in the books and papers her father would return with. What started as him humoring her turned into her receiving a very well-rounded, informal education. He taught her to read with newspapers and almanacs from the ports he visited. Then when she proved to have a proclivity for wandering off, her father taught her how to read a sextant and the calculations he used to read and create maps. As she grew, so did her curiosity and her need for independence. She'd frequently (albeit unintentionally) disturb smaller beasts, but after a close encounter with a harpie when she was 12, her father decided it best to teach her to shoot and wield a blade.

When she was 17, she accompanied her father to an undiscovered world to evaluate her map-making skills. He had been there before, so while she stayed on the airship, her father took to the ground to investigate points of interest he had documented during his last visit. When he returned, he had filled two large crates with jars full of a mysterious, colorful dust, most of them gold or blue. Alexandria had seen him with it before in much smaller amounts, but she wasn't entirely sure what it was. He hadn't told her much about it other than it was “powerful,“ and would “solve their problems.“ While he was inspecting her work, she naturally grew curious. She quietly took one of the jars and opened it and began inspecting its contents. It smelled strange, and it exuded an energy that made her hands tingle. She knew it would be unwise, but she couldn't resist dipping her fingers into the substance. When she touched it suddenly all of her senses were ablaze, and she saw the world in a way she never had before, almost as if she could see The Great Dance flowing around her. In her shock, she recoiled and brushed her hand off on her pants. With her hand clean, the sensation dulled, but never quite went away, and when she looked down at the smear of dust, it looked off, almost as if she could reach through it. When they reached the Nexus Platform, inspection agents immediately detected a possible aetheric anomaly, leading them straight to Alexandria and the illicit cargo. In a panic her father spilled the crates on the floor causing many jars to shatter and the dust to swirl into a portal. He called to her as he jumped through, but she was quickly seized when she tried to follow. Agents began collecting the remaining jars, but when they tried to confiscate the one she had opened, she pleaded with them, claiming that it was curing a mysterious disease she had.

### E.N.I.G.M.A Career

When she was first in the custody of E.N.I.G.M.A, she was originally to be responsible for tracking down her father, but after much bargaining she proved that she would be just as valuable as him in the investigation of the uncharted aetheric anomaly.

## Personality

Alexandria has been known to be trusting by nature and had a deep seated sense of wanderlust instilled in her by her father, however after some time with the Agency, she has grown to harbor a healthy level of cynicism. Where before she would have readily protected and aided near strangers, nowadays she is much less eager to stick her neck out for those who are not explicitly loyal to her.

She finds almost anything, from mystical to mundane, incredibly fascinating. Every key has a lock, and every lock its key. Every relic once served a purpose, and she is determined to understand any that she finds. As a result she has a rather expansive collection of curios and baubles which she keeps stowed away in her personal quarters, because she frequently has trouble finding the energy to document them. This has landed her in hot water on more than one occasion, and has resulted some unprecedented problems.
