| - "Sometimes the best man for the job . . . is a woman." -Mirabel Of the trace genetic material that he recovered from his creator's race, the Founder cloned Mirabel, a young woman that was killed during the Hierarchy's assault on the Novus home world. Constantly placing herself in danger, she has been cloned multiple times since Novus decided to avenge their creators' destruction. With each death and rebirth, the remaining material Novus has dwindles to almost nothing, putting Mirabel in danger of permanent death. To protect Mirabel, Novus created Viktor, a massive suit of powered armor. He has a protector sentience and a weapons loadout to rival anything Novus can field. Being a lone organic amongst a race of machines, however, has isolated her as she cannot match their cold, calculating nature. This never properly rose to prominence during the battles as Novus was always too late to save any world from the Hierarchy's Purifier, or only arrived in time to entomb the dead. What would happen if she met other organics however, is a variable that The Founder has not considered. It did, however, leave distinct survivors guilt, being the only survivor of her race.
