HISTORY
Sawyer, callsign “the Dovetailor”, was originally the only surviving specimen of the Methuselah’s Project Arachne, which was designed to create powerful psychics that would serve as living conduits of GeistNET, the conspiracy’s virtually omniscient information and logistics network. She lapsed into a deep coma following the death of her 443 “sisters” because of the psychic overload that occurred with their passing, and only woke up in 2012 through the actions of Wolf’s Choice. Elias Tagabigay – one of the two leaders of Wolf’s Choice – gathered psychics, Mages and similarly gifted individuals in an attempt to completely overhaul GeistNET, and provide vessels for the overabundance of psychic power that Sawyer contained. While it significantly weakened Sawyer’s newfound psychic abilities, the re-establishment of the network ultimately pulled her out of her coma.

When the schism between the Methuselah and Netsach occurred, Sawyer chose to follow Aidan Clayce. Interestingly enough, all of the hubs of GeistNET ended up going with her, which provided Netsach with the back-up they needed, but ultimately crippled the Methuselah’s own Vigil-related activities. During this period, Sawyer met Samuel Crowley – better known by his shadow name 108 – of the Rockin’ Rollas. The pair eventually fell in love, in spite of the challenges presented by their respective positions and because of 108’s personal guilt over inadvertently contributing to the death of some of her sisters. They married each other on the eve of the final strike against Nyx.

The Dovetailor continued to be an influential figure through the Breaking of the Veil, the First Reforms, and the Darkest Vigil. She retained her position as the “central hub” of GeistNET. In fact, she is still in charge of the network in spite of her age.


CURRENT STATUS
Currently in the process of grooming several operatives of Arcanum to take her place and buckle down to retire properly. Sawyer has not left the Philippines since the end of the Darkest Vigil, and usually spends her time at the Regardi Estate in the West District of Falner.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
From the moment of her conception, Sawyer was, to the Methuselah, little else beyond an experimental specimen, an autonomous tool built for a singular purpose. She only began to learn how to view herself as a human being after an encounter with Hikaru Shinta at thirteen. However, the positive reinforcement that this meeting, along with the connections she managed to make between 2004 and 2010, were nearly reversed by the deaths of her 443 “sisters”, and her lapsing into a coma. The Methuselah’s lack of an initiative with regard to finding a way to heal her dealt a crippling blow to her esteem, and to her self-image. It took the intervention of Wolf’s Choice to remind Sawyer that she was, indeed, a human being with human rights.

Nevertheless, Sawyer is only too used to sacrificing her personal welfare and comfort in pursuit of the Vigil. It may not be so far of a stretch to say that her self-sacrificing tendencies are a result of her origins. Fortunately, her relationship with Samuel Crowley (better known under his shadow name, 108) seems to serve as a constant reminder of her worth as a person.


THREAT LEVEL
NOTABLE/NON-FACTOR. Although she is nowhere near as powerful as she was between 2010 and 2012, Sawyer is still a remarkably gifted psychic, and the fact that she continues to be the single largest repository of information in Netsach makes her even deadlier. However, her frailty as a result of her age and the accelerated deterioration of her body (a bi-product of the fact that she was genetically engineered) considerably lower the level of danger she could present should she go renegade.

ELIAS’ NOTES

  • I really wish she’d let me do something for her. I don’t think 108 will be able to take losing her right now, with everything that has happened. Approach Inquisitor Vice with regard to Medical Magience.
