Doctor Ivy Belsen is an Evanescent Acheri.
Overview[]
It was "life unworthy of life," but for an acheri, it was a virtual utopia. The opportunities for medical research were literally endless: bodies could be injected with contaminated vaccines, submerged in boiling or freezing water, or put in chambers for high and low altitude tolerance. Skulls bursting, mutilating or killing in any number of ways without the tedium of anesthesia, proper surgical technique, or hygiene... such a feast of corruption! Unfortunately, the end of the war put a stop to all that. A quick change of bodies left behind any fear of retribution. Now, under a new name, in borrowed flesh, Dr. Ivy Belsen is the director of a major pharmaceuticals company. Lionized as a philanthropist by the press and substituting advanced gene splicing technologies and dream-grafting for Zyklon B and typhus injections, Ivy Belsen harvests terror-laden Glamour from the dying, creating chimerical abominations never before seen in the Near Dreaming. Although she is somewhat adept at hiding her true identity behind borrowed bodies of both sexes, the population of chimerical flies always increases when she enter an area.
- NB: The phrase above (Life unworthy of life) refers to Nazi Germany and tests performed on Jews and other groups during World War II.
