Mayahuel’s mother was identified in the normal course of business as being descended from a Huastecan deity by the name of Tlazolteotl, a fierce goddess who had many talents. Tlazolteotl was also known as the Filth-Eater--something of little interest to anyone even after the filth surge began. The factions had been grudgingly working together for several years on clandestine projects to train identified progeny of the old gods for various ends. Before Maya was even born, ironclad agreements had been put into place as to her placement if she ever showed any promise related to her maternal bloodline. |

Her mother was forced to return to Mexico when Maya was a toddler. They saw each other rarely until Maya moved at fifteen to the southwestern U.S. to live with her maternal grandmother. Once Maya came of age she returned to London against her mother's wishes with the expectation that she would begin her training with the Templars just as her parents had done before her. While back in London, she fell in love with a promising young Templar agent named Jeremiah Clarke. The couple was blissfully happy together until Jeremy became gravely ill shortly after his return from an archaeological expedition to Egypt. |

She somehow managed to bypass security measures and broke into the infirmary, completely disregarding the quarantine. When the Securi-Med teams finally got back into the room with the likely intention of dispatching both Mayahuel and her young guard, they were shocked to see the both of them curled together sleeping as if nothing had happened. Neither Maya nor Jeremy had any memory of what had happened, but the footage from security cameras showed Maya had locked herself in with him, crawling into his bed and whispering to him for hours in a language the Templars had never heard. |

Clean. In spite of attempts to keep the incident secret, the Dragon immediately notified Richard Sonnac it was time to honor the bargain made years prior. Maya was summarily brought into one of the Templar offices, sedated and handed over to agents from Seoul. The "training" she endured there was part of what the factions named The Ablution Project. Regardless of any models or protocols tried, Maya was never able to replicate what had occurred with Jeremy in London. This did not keep her handlers from pushing her to breaking points again and again. It was a brutal experience, one that left her with no memory or connection with anyone when she was finally allowed to leave. There was much struggle and heartache before she finally found her way to the person she is now. In the end, love was what saved her and love is the only thing that she still believes in with her whole heart. |

None of the factions thought the outcome worth the trouble to try repeating. Mayahuel officially separated from the Dragon with an uneasy but respectful understanding that she can still come and go as she pleases when in Seoul. |

The small gallery next to the Rackham Theatre is where they do a tidy business in fine art and fair trade imports from different locations, offering products to large and small design companies around the globe. The more clandestine business that Sun & Moon engages in is known only to a select few who engage their services regularly or are referred in special circumstances. |
