− | In February 2015, Snow appeared in Darkside, Ealdwic, panhandling and living on the street. What's more, she seemed unable to speak English, speaking instead a strange, guttural tongue that proved to be Ghūla (the language of the ghouls). She was found to be in possession of Richard Sonnac's business card and brought to his office by a Templar agent. Suffering from a high fever, bacterial pneumonia, and malnutrition, Snow was admitted to the infirmary, where she spent three weeks recovering. After the first week, she was repeatedly interviewed and made rather outlandish claims as to her whereabouts in months proceeding her stepparents' murder. Elsbeth Snow told investigators that she was taken from this plane to the mythical "Vale of Pnath," the Underworld or subterranean Dream Land domain from which the ''Al-Ghūl'' (ghouls) are believed to originate. She claimed that she was "rescued" from her stepparents attacker by her birth mother, a half-ghoul woman named Eisaa, though she refused to provide any additional details about this individual. Snow claims to have no memory of returning to Earth. Temple Hall physicians and geneticists were able to confirm that she is, indeed, a human-ghoul hybrid. | + | In February 2015, Snow appeared in Darkside, Ealdwic, panhandling and living on the street.

Snow claims to have no memory of returning to Earth. Temple Hall physicians and geneticists were able to confirm that she is, indeed, a human-ghoul hybrid (one quarter). She has made the claim that her grandparents were paternal twins Isaac and Isobel Snow, though if this is true, it clearly suggests unusual temporal phenomena are involved, as Isaac and Isobel (both deceased) were only a few years Elsbeth Snow's senior. Indeed, growing up, they were her sometimes playmates! |
In the spring of 2015, Elsbeth Snow became an agent of the Templars, despite opposition by some members of the Inquisition, dissenters who viewed her ghoul heritage as a blasphemy and a security risk and who pointed to the Snow family's long-standing alliance with the Illuminati. Her acceptance was facilitated in large part by the intervention of Richard Sonnac, who became her advocate during her convalescence. She was found to have a surprising aptitude for hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship, as well as an uncanny talent for mimicry. Together these abilities made her an effective candidate for wetwork and "conflict resolution." By May 2015, she had been placed undercover in Berlin, infiltrating a Neo-Nazi organization known as ''Schwarze Sonne.'' She remained active in this role until April 2017, when she was abruptly discharged from active duty. | In the spring of 2015, Elsbeth Snow became an agent of the Templars, despite opposition by some members of the Inquisition, dissenters who viewed her ghoul heritage as a blasphemy and a security risk and who pointed to the Snow family's long-standing alliance with the Illuminati.

− | Her few known acquaintances show a distinctly cross-factional flavor, including a Dragon agent, Colt Moineau and a Phoenician agent known as Alex. She has also regularly kept company with a male prostitute who goes by the name "Glymmer." During her service to Temple Hall, Nell's handler was a man named Martial Childress, now an Inquisitor, who was assigned to her by Inquisitor Oscar Knowles. | + | Her few known acquaintances show a distinctly cross-factional flavor, including a Dragon agent, Colt Moineau, and a Phoenician agent known as Alex.
