Yarona Xene

The following are made up from direct excerpts of Blackwatch records and data. This includes interviews, psychological reports, scientific reports and supplementary information. Certain critical information is redacted to higher ranking officials.

## Supplementary item A-1

*"Not much is known about Yarona Xene's history prior to her recruitment and operations into the Blackwatch organization. This is not because of any significant impediment to the Blackwatch organization's ability to ascertain her background, but because Yarona Xene herself does not have any access to her memory prior to her 18th year of age (see below.)*

*Any information that is within the confines of her childhood should not, be any way, disclosed to Yarona Xene herself. Yarona has expressed clear intent that her past should be unknown to her, and disclosing such information might be an emotional weakness."*

- Dr. Jacob Kenly, Senior Psychological Staff (Auxilium).

## The Mountebank Girl

*"Yarona Xene, real name* █████████████*, should be familiar to those who know her real name and are from the region of her childhood. Specifically, the city of* ███████████*. Yarona was intrinsically tied to the infamous 'Mountebank Girl' case and one cannot discuss her childhood without knowing of it.*

*From what Blackwatch can ascertain from kept records, it was understood that Yarona was either a street urchin, homeless, or parents were not recorded anywhere as having any sort of official citizenship. Regardless we know that Yarona had an arrest record on many minor offenses. Mostly shoplifting. She was also admitted to several half-way houses in her later teenage years, leading up to the age of 15."*

### The Kidnapping

"*One day as she was* *navigating the* *R104 road down to* ██████████*, a 4-door sedan pulled up next to her and offered her a ride. The driver was one Matigo Roser. A successful owner of a local hardware store, Matigo Roser scored significantly high on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) Psychopathic Deviate Scale and Validity scales in an earlier stay within a psychiatric institute during his unsuccessful college years after being implicated in the assisted suicide of a room mate. Further psychological autopsy reveals a history of antisocial behavior and introversion from family and friends.*

*Matigo's psychopathy might have stemmed from his relationship with the Spectral Utility. Matigo is the earliest known individual with known ownership to the utility, and may very well have been it's first user. However most agree that the likelyhood of this is low. How he became to own this multi-dimensional object is unknown at this time.*

*Regardless, Yarona accepted the ride and* *got into the back of the vehicle. Matigo Roser then drove out into the woods to a family cabin once owned by a now deceased uncle. When Yarona realized she was not being taken to her normal squatting residence, she struggled and fought with Matigo Roser in the vehicle. Matigo managed to exit the vehicle and Yarona locked him out. Matigo retrieved the Spectral Utility in the back of the car and then, at gunpoint, threatened Yarona into placation. Once arriving at the cabin, she was taken out of the vehicle and was taken to the back of the pantry where a improvised safe room had been constructed into the basement of the residence. Yarona was locked inside. She would never see the light of day again in two full years.*

*Yarona* *was held hostage with one other victim, a girl named Grace Xene. Grace had been held there 4 years prior to Yarona's kidnapping and had been kidnapped when she was 11 years of age. Grace had been repeatedly assaulted, sexually abused and raped over the years prior to Yarona's capture. For the next two years, both Yarona and Grace would continue to be victims of such behavior daily at the hands of Matigo as he commuted back and forth between the cabin and his residence/job within the city on a weekly basis. This changed however in May of 2050.*

*One Thursday afternoon while* *Matigo was at work, Grace informed Yarona that she had come to be pregnant and Matigo was the father. Yarona, fueled by such information and a unwillingness to befall a similar circumstance, began to hatch an escape plot. Using her fingernails and fists, Yarona scratched and punched a large sliver of wood out of the nearby foundation work and fashioned it into a shiv.*

*A few days later, when Matigo came into the basement, Yarona ambushed Matigo with the shiv and attempted to subdue him. Matigo was able to instead disarm Yarona and retrieve the Spectral Utility. However, when going to shoot Yarona, Grace stepped in the way and was shot and killed in Yarona's stead. The cartridge going through Grace's torso and into Yarona's hip.*

*Yarona was wounded, but there was a small window as Matigo was suddenly unable to fire the weapon. Little did he know, but the Spectral Utility had switched users after he had killed Grace with it. It is unclear as to why this happened. Some theories suggest that the cartridge of the gun being lodged inside Yarona's body had reacted somehow with Yarona remotely. Other theories believe something about Grace's death caused the gun's connection to Matigo to sever.*

*Yarona charged Matigo and attempted to wrestle control of the firearm away from him successfully, promptly shooting and killing Matigo in the process. Yarona proceeded to leave the cabin immediately and wander her way through the woods for 2 days and 2 nights. Eventually stumbling and collapsing into a nearby town."*

### The Facade

"*Yarona was quickly rushed to a nearby medical facility and was saved narrowly from the claws of death. Placed into an ER and temporarily unconscious, medical staff made a critical mistake:*

*They mistakenly identified Yarona with Grace Xene. Thus, moving forward, Yarona was treated as if she was Grace.*

*This was a incredible error only made possible by the confluence of many larger coincidences. Broadly speaking, Yarona looked just like Grace Xene. This is likely because of Matigo's personal taste of victims. Additionally, no one had seen Grace in upwards of 6 years, which made it hard to predict just how she would have looked during the time. Thirdly, Yarona having no record or otherwise proof of existence prior, there was no way to confirm that she was indeed herself.*

*Meanwhile, the Spectral Utility was confiscated by local police enforcement. Unable to interact or tap into the strange weapon, it was ultimately deemed useless for the case and was locked away for the better part of a year. 11 months later the item was confiscated by Blackwatch under the belief that it was an otherworldly threat. When Blackwatch began to understand it's unique properties, and that it was already paired to another user, they went on the search for Yarona.*

*Anyways medical staff at the hospital quickly informed Grace's parents that they had their missing child in their care. They also informed the police of this as well, however the parents were the only ones allowed to be with Yarona when she awoke. When Yarona did wake up, Grace's parents treated her with the love and caring affection that Yarona was likely deprived of in her own childhood. Additionally, Yarona was not yet emotionally prepared enough to inform Grace's parents that their real daughter was dead.*

*Thus,* *Yarona played along with it. When investigators and police reached out to her in hopes of catching the kidnapper, she was purposefully vague and avoidant. Frequently forgetting key details in her case and omitting important information. After 3 months of investigation, the case was dropped. Matigo and Grace's bodies would not be found for an another 9 months.*

*However, the charade could not last. Despite Yarona's best efforts Grace's mother was slightly perturbed by the fact Yarona could not remember key details of Grace's childhood. At first believing this may be a symptom of her trauma, she hired a private investigator to confirm this and lay her suspicions to rest. However the private detective did the opposite.*

*The detective was keen enough to notice that the forensic reports of the Rotifers collected on her dampened clothes pinpointed the derelict cabin to a specific pond in the region. He went to the abandoned property and discovered the two bodies. From there, it was game over for Yarona.*

*When* *Grace's parents were informed that their real daughter was dead, and that the woman pretending to be their daughter was actually Yarona, they were devastated for a second time. However in a remarkable act of human kindness they did not seem to blame Yarona for what she did. Or, at least, most reports from law enforcement and neighbors said so. They continued to accept Yarona as if she was their own child, sympathetic to her struggles.*

*However it seemed Yarona was not quite so able to forgive herself."*

### Memory Wipe

"*Some months afterwords, she was brought to the attention of Blackwatch. Blackwatch recruiters were impressed by her ability to remain in an alternate ego for so long despite having absolutely no basis to do so, and believed such a skill might make her a valuable asset as a field agent. They also had the Spectral Utility in their care and understood at that point that the only person who could wield it was Yarona herself.*

*Yarona* *agreed to join Blackwatch at the behest of Grace's parents, but only on the condition that they completely wipe her memory and all the pain that came with it. Blackwatch recruiters agreed and informed her that she would need to take on a new identity. Otherwise, if she used her old name, the erased memories would risk resurfacing. Yarona asked Grace's parents to pick a name and her current identity, Yarona Xene, was the one they chose.*

*Thus on July 24th, 2051, all of ███████'s memories were wiped. In their place was the newborn Yarona Xene that we all know today."*

### Blackwatch Service

"*The rest is, as they say among contemporaries, history. She was rolled into the Initiate program but didn't stay there for long. Because of her memory wipe and then immediate placement into Blackwatch, it is believed Yarona psychologically views Blackwatch as her entire world. She can't remember a time in which she wasn't in Blackwatch! Additionally, all questions of loyalty were quashed because she no longer has any connections to anyone outside of the Blackwatch system.*

*Thus,* *Yarona is looked at a lot by others as the actual literal child of Blackwatch itself. It's no surprise then of her rapid promotion through the ranks time and time again among exemplary service. She spent 2 years in training, 3 years in service as an intellegence asset, 3 more years as an instructor under the rank of a captain, and then spent the last year acclimating to her role as Magistratus. Upon her promotion to Magistratus, she was formally given the ownership rights of the Spectral Utility as a gift and now wields it as her main weapon."*

## Supplementary Item A-2

*"To reiterate after the cafeteria incident: Under **ABSOLUTELY NO** circumstance are you to **EVER** use the following words or phrases in Yarona's presence or engage in the following behavior*

- "█████████████"

- "*Mountebank Girl"*

*- Draw attention to the scar on her hip. (We went to painful lengths to hide it!)*

*Additionally, please avoid the following, though they are less critical to her mental psyche.*

- *A kettle (specifically the whistle it makes)*

*- Stargazing*

- *Stars in general*

- *Locked in enclosed spaces for long periods of time*

*Remember that her memories, despite being 'erased', are actually in deep repression. Avoidance of these stimuli is to prevent her from regaining the memories she wants lost, and is vital to her continued operation as a Blackwatch agent."*
