Description
Elaine Bluelake belonged to the founding family of BlueLake. After Southern forces destroyed the town, she survived and discovered an amnesiac boy in the ruins. She named him Hank, formed a protective bond, and led other orphans to Newfort for survival. Her exceptional intellect drew Reverend Jameson Ferguson's attention; he secured her enrollment at The Church academy on the condition Hank accompany her. She graduated at the top of her class but began hearing unexplained sounds from a pendant given by the Reverend, later identified as the "Voice of God" emanating from Somnium ore.
Post-graduation, she researched Somnium while Hank joined the military and Cain Withers entered government service. Learning Hank deployed to the front lines intensified her anxiety. Contact with a massive Somnium deposit clarified the "Voice," compelling her to propose creating superhuman soldiers—Incarnates—to President Richard Withers. She spearheaded this research at École, initially facing repeated fatalities in human trials. When Hank arrived mortally wounded, she reluctantly transformed him into an Incarnate to save his life, using his physiological data to perfect the process for other soldiers.
During the war, she monitored the Incarnates' progressive physical and mental degradation, recognizing prolonged power use eroded their humanity, inevitably leading to permanent bestial transformation. As peace negotiations concluded, she concluded no antidote existed. Prioritizing their dignity over prolonged suffering, she resolved to euthanize all Incarnates while they retained human consciousness. She confided in Cain and shot Hank during a private meeting, intending to fulfill their oath before committing suicide. Cain intervened, killing her to prevent the extermination and releasing the Incarnates.
Her death fractured Hank and Cain's friendship, catalyzing Hank's quest as a "Beast Hunter" to honor the unit's oath. Posthumously, her daughter Miglieglia—an Incarnate with necromantic abilities—emerged; the circumstances of her conception remain undisclosed. Elaine's legacy persisted through her creation of Godkiller bullets, designed to humanely eliminate corrupted Incarnates, and her destruction of École's research data to prevent replication of her work.
Her relationship with Hank was central, evolving from guardianship to unrequited love. His presence stabilized her psychologically, and his near-death experience drove her to compromise her ethics to save him. Conversely, her interactions with Cain grew manipulative, with him exploiting her guilt and despair to further his own ambitions after the war.
