Beatrix Netherin

Art by elissastillstands.

**Beatrix Netherin** is the former commander of the S-Class squad of Mothership Synthetic Knights. She was presumed dead after a "dragon elf attack" wiped out the S-Class squad and accompanying mages while they were stationed at an outpost near the Living Wood. She is now on the run and trying to take down both Mothership and the Emerald Scale dragon elves.

## Bio

Prior to her time with the Mothership, Beatrix was affiliated with the Ruby Scale dragon elf faction from the Living Wood. Through subterfuge and deception, rival factions of the Emerald and Sapphire Scale killed the red dragon of Beatrix's order, Lavrix, leaving her bereft. Upon enlisting in the Mothership Synthetic Knight program, Beatrix was elevated to S-Class, and was the sole survivor of the massacre at the Living Wood, in which S-Class knights killed the scientists who developed the S-Class program, and then each other. Beatrix, destroyed by grief and guilt, was the only survivor.

## Description

Beatrix has red eyes that glow with arcane magic, and she wears a red mask and long red cloak. Her voice and mannerisms are harsh and abrupt, but not without a sense of humor.

## Role In The Story

#### The Mothership Saga

Beatrix is introduced to the story in an early mention of her death during a dragon elf attack. However, when Duck Team is in the process of being transformed into S-Class Synths themselves, a mysterious figure matching Beatrix’s description breaks into the lab, killing the scientists and stealing information, only to leave the Blue Crew alive, their S-Class transformation interrupted. From there, the crew realizes that she has broken into the apartment of Mothership scientist, Beedra Weevil, stealing more information about the company, along with some arcane technology that she seems intent on using against her former employer.

As the arc goes on and the heroes meet Ma Goblin, they learn that Beatrix is hellbent on taking her revenge against Mothership, and is refusing to work alongside other resistance forces. Together with Mob Goblin, the Blue Crew plan to bring a jammer wand to Beatrix, within the heart of Mothership HQ, to assist her in destroying Alexandrite, the Mothership's omnipotent AI. After breaking into the HQ on a stolen airship, the Blue Crew find Beatrix inside an S-Class laboratory, standing over the body of one of her fellow S-Class soldiers, cycling between sobbing, punching the lockers, and laughing. She tells them about the different factions of dragon elves, and the ways in which Mothership stabbed her in the back.

After Beatrix joins Duck Team, they are confronted by Go!Go! Team ‘Tection, who have been turned into S Class Knights. Beatrix fights Jazzler and Stardunk, while Duck Team handles Todd. Beatrix wins her fight but is convinced to spare their lives, since they went through the same thing she did.

They find Paetina in Alexandrite’s core, where she reveals that she can’t be killed without releasing Alexandrite and allowing the world to be taken over. Beatrix decides that it’s worth it and kills Paetina, which frees Alexandrite, who takes over her body. Duck Team is able to resist Alexandrite’s influence, and use the jammer to insert doubt into Alexandrite’s mind and appeal to Beatrix’s personality. She decides that she won’t kill all of Ezry, and instead sends the Mothership to the bottom of the ocean.
