− | + | It is of multifactional knowledge that Elana has been chaotically altered or intervened with at least twice by other doppelgangers, once when Agartha shifted into its current form with a visible Seed of Life, and twice after a 'successful' undercover mission--advancing her Faction's knowledge over the course of a year, at the expense of depersonalization from long-term isolation and brainwashing. | |

Elana lives in a single detached residence on the island of Guernsey with Robert--close enough to London when needed, but far from the business of big city living.
