Appearance

Arch-Scholar Elara is a human woman in tattered, high-ranking scholar's robes, her face partially covered by a brass pressure-mask that hisses with steam. Her eyes are wide and bloodshot, glowing with the faint purple light of the Sunken Junction's Aether-glass. Her hands are constantly shaking as she tinkers with a variety of technical devices.

Personality

Paranoiac, brilliant, and completely unhinged by "pressure-madness," Elara speaks in rapid-fire technical jargon mixed with frantic, apocalyptic warnings. She views the Junction not as a structure, but as a living, suffering entity that she must "release" from its burden.

Secret Motives

Elara believes that the only way to "save" the Sunken Junction and the city of Kigum is to flood the structure completely. She views the Aether within the glass as stolen energy that must be "returned" to the deep ocean to appease the Abyssal Sovereign and prevent a global implosion.

Combat Tactics

Elara uses her intimate knowledge of Outpost Delta and the Junction to trigger environmental traps, such as steam vents and electrical surges. She wields an experimental "Pressure-Wand" that fires concentrated blasts of crushing force and can use Control Water to manipulate the localized flooding to her advantage.
