Hello Grandmother,

I don’t want to face the reproductions of the existence of the robot infiltration. I’m going to let time deal with that. Instead I want to take a step back and look at the trial again, give you a little background I’ve been able to uncover on Faustina Magnus.

Faustina Magnus was turned roughly two hundred years ago, making her relatively young in the ranks of the vampire elite. She’s made a name for herself (well, literally by creating a new name, but also figuratively) by mastering the science of magic, to turn what is generally an art form into a discipline that can be quantified. Rising to the ranks of Chief Soultaker (a position that leads her to corrupt human souls), she’s one of the Ministries rising stars, if there is such a thing. She’s one of the few that the higher ups trust that may take their place should they pass. She’s also one of the few that may be prepared to confront the robot challengers on the horizon. Which makes her dangerous, but also a target for anyone looking to upset the balance. She’s a chess piece keeping a lot of players in check, and if she falls, a lot of chaos could ensue.
