Karen Moore

**Karen Moore** is a character in *Extrasensory*, serving as the tritagonist of *Season 2*. She is the mother of Michael and Harry and the ex-wife of Ethan. As a member of the Moore family, she possesses the supernatural ability of extrasensory perception. Following an affair that resulted in the birth of her second son, Harry, Karen was forced by her father-in-law Shaun to abandon the child and disappear, otherwise both her and her infant son would both be killed. Karen spent the next few years secretly tracking her son Harry, and eventually concluded that he was the elusive serial killer known as "The Beast". In 2019, she followed him back to Lillian, where she reconnected with her other son, Michael, who, like Harry, had inherited her power of ESP. Together they worked to solve Harry's crimes and rescue his captives, all while hiding from Michael the truth of the culprit's identity in the hopes of bringing Harry to the light.

## Biography

### Early Life and Background

Not much is known about Karen's early life. She was born into the Moore family, an American family native to the lakeside town of Lillian, Illinois. As a member of the Moore Family, she inherited the family trait of extrasensory perception, able to "read people" upon making physical contact with them. Like all members of the Moore family, Karen developed her own unique additional abilities stemming from her innate ESP, including the ability to project an illusion of herself over vast distances to communicate remotely.

In her late teens, she began a relationship with Ethan Mayfair, a member of the Mayfair Family who were also native to Lillian and held substantial power in both the local and state government. Their relationship resulted in the conception of a son, Michael, upon which Ethan's father - multi-millionaire Shaun Mayfair - forced the two of them to marry. Although Karen did so, she was extremely unhappy with her life and tried on numerous ocassions to scare her young son in the hopes of unlocking the powers of ESP that he had almost certainly inherited from her. She was never close with her husband, although she began friendly with her brother-in-law David.

Karen eventually had an extramarital affair, resulting in the birth of a second son, Harry. This enraged her father-in-law, who gave her a choice: abandon the child to its death and disappear forever, or both she and her child would be killed. Karen made the difficult choice to disappear, abandoning Harry to his death. She appeared to care much more for Harry than she did for Michael, her firstborn, as she remained mentally connected to Harry throughout his life. She would spend the next two decades watching her son from the shadows and began to suspect that he was a serial killer known as "The Beast".

In 2019, Karen followed Harry back to Lillian in the hopes of bringing him back to the light.
