Clémence Athana was a Sequence 4 Manipulator of the Visionary Pathway who later went mad and had to be sealed, becoming the Sealed Artifact code named 1-147.[1]
Appearance[]
As the Sealed Artifact, 1-147, she resembles a young woman with a pale face, vacant eyes and wearing a black nun’s attire and matching hat. Most of the time, she remains in her normal state, appearing lifeless, pale, and muddle-headed.
History[]
Clémence Athana was born in a magistrate's family in Spahm Village, Zamet region of Upper Hornacis. She was sent to the Zamet Cloister upon reaching adulthood and, two years later, entered Suhit University to study paleobiology. After graduation, she stayed on as a faculty member.[2]
Her research in paleobiology primarily focused on tracing the remnants of mythical creatures to prove their existence. At the age of twenty-nine, she abruptly resigned from her academic post and returned to her native village, where she secluded herself in her room.
Over the next two years, her family suffered a series of misfortunes: Her father, intoxicated, fell into a cesspit at night and drowned; her mother, overcome with grief, hanged herself; her siblings killed each other over inheritance disputes; and her sister, who had gone home to intervene, went missing and was never found.
The villagers of Spahm blamed her for bringing misfortune and sought to expel her. Not long after, a strange mental plague broke out in the village. By the time the Purifiers realized the issue, it was beyond redemption, and they had to purify all the infected.
Further research indicated that Clémence Athana harbored two spirits within her, with her soul appearing stitched together. It is believed that one spirit orchestrated the tragedies of her family and the village's infection, while the other, unable to cope, became muddleheaded yet fought back instinctively, eventually going mad.
Additionally, she carried another kind of corruption, distinct from her abilities to manipulate minds and spirits. It remains unclear when this corruption first appeared, whether before her return to her hometown or after the death of her parents.
She was sealed on 1356 of the Fifth Epoch.
