Lyra Witte

According to her own words, before the beginning of the Shadow Conflict, Lyra Witte led an ordinary life of an ordinary archaeologist in the civilization of universe, which will eventually serve as the scene for Siege of Aelim. Then, by an unpredicted coincidence, she will be entangled in the increasing scales of Vargas' manipulations, what will serve as the beginning of their long hostility. Lyra, torn from her own house, will find herself in the middle of the doomed Anteran Unity's capital sector, completely immersed in the incessant echo of the war that once destroyed it. The fact that she managed to survive for four years in the radioactive desert of the ruined Earth, once controlled by Antarean Unity, without having any special preliminary training - is something truly unique. Later, Lyra will be able to capture the Order's reconnaissance boat, and then steal a full set of relic antarean equipment from the one of the Order's outpost's armory. Neither in the Order nor elsewhere anyone could even suppose the probability of an event with such incredible level of absurdity, and it will took a few months to find out who exactly was the thief.

Later, Lyra will periodically appear on the scene, leading her own behind-the-scenes play aimed at forcing Knowledge Keeper to answer for his betrayals.

It is believed that Lyra is in fact represented one of the mythical characters, who were capable of maintaining a mental connection with the "factory" terminal of the chronoenigne and could move between the universes with a single effort of will. This theory can explain how the red-haired stranger found the resources, skills and equipment necessary to achieve such an astounding goal as capturing a person who was once close to the very tops of the Antarean Unity, and how she managed to survive in this world of war, that were capable to devour a seasoned veteran in a matter of hours. Ordinary people should not be mentioned at all, since by the time of the Shadow Conflict's end within the capital universe of the Unity, there were none of them left.
