Medic for Team Pancakes. She ran into the New Wells Six while helping her group in their attempt to apprehend Richard Mortem.

## History

### Pre-Campaign

Essence spent years training to be a doctor, passing medical school and getting her certification.

She served in the British military as a field medic. She'd come to the US to support its armed forces in a local terrorist threat. After Judgement Day, she lost her boyfriend due to a lack of needed medical supplies. She took his gun on her travels through the wastes, hoping to start her own clinic and ease the suffering of people around her.

Some time later, she started traveling withThomas Rhoads, Richard (Dick) Mortem, and H3x. The group found themselves stopped at a gang's road checkpoint. It was at that same checkpoint that they met Richard Solano and Cassidy Conrad. The group took out the gang that attempted to rob them, only to be ambushed by powerful undead. Through that fight, the individuals formed a temporary bound and decided to travel together. This group later became Team Pancakes.

Team Pancakes, after making a bit of a name for themselves, were approached by the infamous Junker Darius Hellstromme. In exchange for giving the group resources to deal with their own problems, Hellstromme tasked them with finding various artifacts and delivering them to him. These missions occasionally involved them being sent back in time to find these relics.

### Arc 8: Redwater

On April 28th, Essence went with the rest of the group when Dick used his call button, riding in H3x's van to Redwater to confront Combine forces. She set up on the passenger side, taking shots with her sniper rifle.

She remained out of the confrontation between Team Pancakes and the NW6 for their assault on Dick, staying in the van.

She sat quietly while H3x explained his team's relationship to Hellstromme to the NW6.

### Arc 10: The Summit

In late June, Team Pancakes was tasked with escorting the Library delegation in their attempt to make contact with the moorlock people that inhabited Junkyard's underground. On June 22nd, the delegation was attacked by unknown enemies, hit hard by fireballs, modified acid-spitting moorlocks, and a strange bear-like looking creature. The party got separated in the attack. She'd remained with H3x near an old school building to protect the moorlock civilians, staying as Cassidy and Thomas moved ahead to confront their attackers.

On June 25th, Essence took advantage of the chaos caused by NW6 to make a move on OPEC forces that had overwhelmed her position. She got the jump on a group of 5 OPEC soldiers, slamming the door open and opening fire with a high caliber handgun. The soldiers scrambled, and two were taken out with arrows from an open window. Essence took aim outside the window before catching sight of Addie and lowering her weapon, relieved.

Once the building was clear, she moved outside behind H3x and his power armor. She took cover behind rubble as a witch appeared and dropped more OPEC soldiers in front of them, taking shots at them. Once the fight was finished, she was approached by Na-Way who questioned if she was hurt. She looked him over, confused. She also introduced the group to an elder Moorlock who had information on the attacks.

Before the NW6 headed off to confront Mab, Essence and H3x went off to lead the Moorlock civilians a safer area.

She returned to the surface with the others after Mab was killed and the way was cleared.

### Arc 16: Rivalries

Before the second faction summit, Addie approached Essence and asked her to speak at the meeting to help her credibility. She wanted her to give her account of her time working with Hesllstromme, and confirm his continued existence.

On December 4th, she met with Addie in Denver, and corroborated the claims in her speech about Hellstromme. She told the delegates that her team had found a train beneath Dugway, and were taken into the Hunting Grounds to Hellstromme's base of operations. There, he told them he planned to end the Reckoner threat, and he needed 4 relics to do so. He sent them through time to find the relics, as well as certain scientists. After attempting to make contact with Hellstromme again in the aftermath of losing the Maw and being confronted by the NW6, she and H3x went back to Hellstromme's base, only to find it stripped of occupants and resources.
