<div style="text-align: justify;">It's no secret to any of Desdemona's employers that she is an Atlantean. The pale skin, the inability to age, the heightened intelligence, ancient knowledge, enhanced strength and incredible healing abilities all give her away rather quickly. Even if they didn't, that is the first piece of information that she comes forth with and for good reason: She makes it clear that she wants something specific from her employers and the only way to make it worth their while is to show why she's worth the effort. | <div style="text-align: justify;">It's no secret to any of Desdemona's employers that she is an Atlantean.

+ | In truth, Desdemona was born into House Azaes as the daughter of an Atlantean scientist by the name of Dr. Demosthenes and Eudokia, an architect. Like all Atlanteans, her birth was the product of genetic engineering upon conception and her life aided by cybernetic enhancements and rigorous training. Never did she wonder what she’d do with her life or what she was meant to accomplish, for Atlanteans were born with a purpose given to them; they did not stumble aimlessly in search of meaning. | ||

+ | Even among her fellow soldiers, Desdemona’s aptitude for warfare far exceeded expectations. As Atlantis continued to conquer the world, Desdemona carried its banner and rose the ranks with each victory she claimed. As skilled as she was, however, the war never seemed to end and, frankly, she didn’t want it to. Combat and conflict were her life’s blood and she was proud to crush the enemies of Atlantis’s foes underfoot and relished in the honor that she brought to House Azaes. | ||

+ | Despite Atlantean superiority, however, they did not win every battle. During what would be their last campaign, they suffered defeat in a single battle. It was enough to drive the Atlanteans to a frenzy. Never before had they been so humbled, especially by lesser beings. In a fit of foolish rage and decrepit egotism, they decided to do the unspeakable. True, they could have simply sent a bigger force to easily conquer their foe, but it was less about the victory and more about the message they wanted to send. Unfortunately, Atlanteans that spoke against their fellows’ plot were ignored… and Lilith, under a different name, was there with open arms to aid the blood-thirsty conquerors. | ||

+ | The plan backfired. Atlantis was lost and the 3rd Age came to an abrupt end.</div> | ||
