Ehn

## One

## Notes and references

1. ↑ "He is actually from your world originally. A human who became what you call a Heretic, bonded to a dragon."

- Perennial Potentate 4-06 (Heretical Edge 2)
2. ↑ "But the single greatest threat is the being the prison was originally created for. The first prisoner. Or, as we call him, Ehn. One, in your language. Prisoner number one. Ehn, in our language. He is actually from your world originally. A human who became what you call a Heretic, bonded to a dragon."

- Perennial Potentate 4-06 (Heretical Edge 2)
3. ↑ "As must his closest followers. There are eight of them. The next eight prisoners after Ehn. All are potential world-ending catastrophic threats, given their own proclivities, strengths, and the fact that Ehn spent a long time using his dragon abilities to boost his lieutenants. They are dangerous, and they can never be allowed to escape."

- Perennial Potentate 4-06 (Heretical Edge 2)
4. ↑ Cerulean on Discord 04 Jul 2020

We do know that Ehn engineered that.

Gaia was framed for the murder of Counselor Oliver Brockett and subsequently arrested by the Crossroads Leadership Committee.

## ​Biography

At some point, Gaia became the Baroness in charge of the state Desoto of the United States of America.

Around 119 years ago, the Fomorians appeared within Desoto and began a hostile full scale invasion. Gaia instructed Heretics to reveal themselves and use Heretical magic and technology to evacuate Desoto. Once the state had been evacuated, she had the state destroyed to make sure that all of the Fomorians were killed and their incursion point was gone forever. Afterward, the Heretics erased Desoto from the minds of Bystanders.

For a while after, Gaia was unpopular because other Heretics disagreed with Gaia Sinclaire's choice to reveal Heretic technology and magic in the Fomorian Invasion. Gabriel Ruthers thought that it was the right thing to do and gave her a job teaching at Crossroads Academy. Eventually, the other Heretics got over it and realized that she had been right to do what she did.

## ​Physical appearance

Baroness Sinclaire is described as a tall, red-haired woman.

## Personality

Gaia was against the idea of open war through the rebellion because she didn't want to put Heretics in a position where another group of invaders could do even more damage. She is afraid that that kind of open warfare is going to end with losing a lot more than just a single state.”

## Trivia

* Gaia Sinclaire is not her original name, but the one that she chose for herself.

Gaia is a reference to the Greek Mother Earth, which she chose to remind herself that she can care for anyone who may need her.
	+ Before that she went by Scáthach, after a teacher who trained Cú Chulainn in Celtic Mythology. But even that isn't her original name. She picked it for herself after becoming a Heretic.
