Specimen P4G9A

Specimen P4G9A is a character from *In Memoriam* who appears in multiple timelines. In all known timelines, his powers allow him to create a series of distinct public-facing personas, each with different power sets, personalities, and appearances. This makes it incredibly difficult to track the variants across timelines, unless a recognized form is encountered or P4G9A reveals themselves. So far, no timeline has revealed his backstory enough to know what to call the core character aside from his personalities; it's not even entirely clear whether P4H9A thinks of himself as a distinct individual separate from one or more of his personas.

## Known Personas

* **Dread Bear:** A 30-foot-tall bear with incredible strength and resilience.
* **Jeremiah Thiel:** An old man with the ability to control targets through hypnosis.
* **Karen Lithgow:** A young woman with heightened senses and a powerful sniper rifle.
* **Paul Ness:** A man who has displayed no known powers.
* **Rose Thorndike:** A woman with the ability to fly.

## Beta-6

As Paul, P4G9A was abducted by the Headhunters as a collateral target when they kidnapped Commissioner Price. After Price escaped, Paul agreed to help the Headhunters rescue Luca Boudokowski from the General, and took on the form of Karen to do so. In exchange for the help, D removed the shock collar they had placed around Paul's neck. As soon as they had secured Luca and just before they entered the Headquarters, Karen changed to Rose and flew away from the party. D's attempts to track P4G9A using genetic material left behind in Paul's hair proved fruitless, as it turned out Paul's hair had no genetic component.

## Beta-7

### Introduction

While invisible and exploring Nashua Center, Slender encountered a woman named Karen in the courthouse that could see him. He began following her around until they were alone, at which point she demanded that he stop before getting discovered and causing both of them problems. She agreed to meet with him after work at her apartment. There, Slender explained that the world outside Nashua Center was better than she remembered and convinced her to come with him and find out for herself. She traveled with the Offline Party for about a week as they gathered support for the war between Nashua Center and Free Derry, seeing how various settlements were getting on and meeting other mutants.

### Battle of Free Derry

On agreeing to join the Offline Party, Karen revealed she was actually a construct and allowed the party to meet P4G9A without any active persona. During this discussion, he explained that he creates forms, and that he has been living at Karen for nearly four years. He informed them, however, that he had one other form that may help them gather information on Nashua Center's military, and arranged to travel to the city with Slender. There, P4G9A took on the form of Jeremiah, hypnotized a member of the military in a bar, stole his credentials, changed into a form that resembled the man, and used those credentials to gain access to the Nashua Center military garage. There, Slender took stock of their vehicles and stole an Apache helicopter.

When they returned to Free Derry, Jeremiah changed back into Karen, who began helping around town. When Nashua Center attacked Free Derry, she helped defend against the attack and ultimately took on the form of a massive bear to directly confront the tanks and APCs outside Free Derry's walls. The move greatly assisted the defenders of Free Derry, drawing enough hostile fire that the rest of the defenders were able to focus on key targets and send the attackers into a retreat. After the battle, the bear once again became Karen, who turned her attention to helping with clean up efforts.

## Known Powers
