Agartha Ames

**Agartha Danvaro Ames** was a female Proxim agent of the Protectorate Cabal, a secretive organization devoted to keeping the Cassiopeia Galaxy in check, and an agent of Proxim Intelligence. She spent a considerable amount of time with the crew of the *Berdema Nova*, previously checking up on the group from time to time before she eventually stayed with them during their travels.

## Biography

### Early Life

Agartha Danvaro Ames was born on the planet Proximus, an arctic world in the Inner Core region of Cassiopeia. At some point in her life, presumably through a rigorous vetting and training process, Agartha became an agent of the elusive Protectorate Cabal. Her career would take her to many different worlds around the Cassiopeia Galaxy to ensure that nothing was out of the ordinary.

### Meeting the Berdema Nova

In the latter half of the year 5956 ASA, a group of privateers called the Berdema Nova visited the planet Hoanghon in order to meet with a supplier and friend of theirs named Io Trotz. While captain Seiya Akatsuki and her crewmates Beobarado and Lawrence Fenton visited Io Trotz for the supplies, her other, younger crewmates—Minerva Vomisa and the Heyrnese twins, Rhythm and Remedy—went out to the city's shopping district in order to find new clothes.

While in a clothing store, Agartha Ames happened upon Rhythm and Remedy, surprised to find Heyrnese people on Hoanghon, especially after the ever-so-recent Destruction of planet Heyrn. She asked the twins how they happened upon Hoanghon, to which they told her how they traveled with a crew of spacefarers that Agartha correctly assumed to be the Berdema Nova. While she had already been made aware of the Berdema Nova from intelligence reports, this was the first time that Agartha met with any of the *Berdema Nova'*s crewmembers. Agartha properly introduced herself to the twins and Minerva Vomisa.

This encounter was rather brief, as Agartha was merely there to hand the Novas an invitation to the planet Proximus by Sentinel Proximus himself, Iago Masonic. Agartha informed the three Novas that the Sentinel was interested in a recent discovery of theirs, which happened to be a piece of the treasured Map of the Overseer (although Agartha did not tell the Novas that this was the specific discovery that intrigued the Proxim Sentinel). Agartha told the three Novas not to turn down the invitation as Sentinel Iago would know if they did. She left the store and presumably Hoanghon after this first meeting with the Novas.

## Personality and Traits

Agartha was a Proxim woman with greyish-brown skin and ashy blonde hair. Like the majority of Proxim women, Agartha had completely red eyes, devoid of any visible pupils or irises.

As an agent of a rather secretive order, Agartha was a very by-the-book individual, having been used to following and remembering various different protocols throughout her career. Some found her to be rather enigmatic to her work-centric and bureaucratic attitude, which prevented people from knowing any more about her beyond her job as an agent. Because she valued the systems set in place by the Cabal and expected them to function as they should've, Agartha wasn't afraid to show her displeasure when people interfered with said systems. In fact, Agartha was not one to hesitate in speaking her mind, at least on most matters. Even if bureaucracy didn't fail her, she wasn't a fan of redundant bureaucracy like red tape. Nevertheless, Agartha was proud of the work she accomplished throughout her life.

Agartha often found herself being the most rational and composed person in a room full of irrational people. She kept a customarily formal demeanor in the presence of others, and was usually the one to correct the attitudes of others if need be.

## Skills and Abilities

As Agartha was an agent of the Protectorate Cabal, she was skilled in the ways of espionage and was always on top of reporting information. She had a degree of self-defense knowledge as well.
