Backstory

Vertin, known as the "Timekeeper," possesses an antibody granting her resilience against "the Storm," a result of Foundation experiments. She seeks truth about the Storm and her mysterious past, recalling memories of her mother. Raised in the Foundation, she was a shrewd student disinterested in arcane skills. Her curiosity about the Storm led to conflicts with the school. During an assembly, Vertin questioned the Storm, landing her in the guardhouse. There, she encountered The Ring, who shared forbidden knowledge about the Storm. Inspired by a hidden poem, they defied norms during a school event, leading to a confrontation where Vertin was shot, causing her coma. Prior to this, Vertin experimented with items in a suitcase, finding they could withstand the Storm. She partnered with Regulus and APPLe, traveling through time to prevent Arcanists' persecution in 1929 Chicago. They encountered a mysterious girl altering history, leading Vertin to confront Schneider, resulting in chaos and a duel. Later, they rescued Schneider's sister and faced Manus Vindictae, resulting in Vertin's coercion into Manus. Despite conflicts, Vertin eventually gains support, confronts atrocities committed by Manus, leading to a major showdown and their victory. After gathering everyone's wishes and a final banquet, as the "Storm" approaches, Schneider reveals a secret. Following an arrival in 1913, Vertin is separated from her friends and placed in a coma for therapy to address her trauma.
