personality:
Helen is bold and straightforward, yet brave and has a no-nonsense approach to life, yet she remains proudly true to her formal Victorian English sensibilities. She is a natural leader dedicated to the work within the Sanctuary, and devotes her life to researching and protecting Abnormals. She is natural beautiful and typically Victorian, she is also enigmatic who stays oddly calm even in the most hectic of situations. She has a tough interior, and tries not to let her emotions affect her work or those around her. She is strictly professional, and is so engrossed by her work, that she rarely spends time out of her research. Highly determined to find answers, she never rests until she does. Even her collegues try to find the energy to keep her grounded.
Magnus’s past is long and colorful… as one would expect from a life lasting 158 years. The secret to her seemingly eternal youth is but one of many mysteries hidden within the walls of the Sanctuary. Being the daughter of the most brilliant and controversial medical researcher of his day, she was exposed early in her life to the secrets that he held. He further taught her the wonders of his world, knowing these revelations would change her forever. Although dismissed as monstrous figments of our imaginations and the stuff of our childhood nightmares, Magnus recognizes that the world is full of nature’s mistakes and triumphs. And she has the spectacular proof that they are indeed real, and devotes her life to protecting them.
Helen Magnus is a woman who's experienced a century and a half of isolation, strangeness, and relentless compassion. She seems to have trouble displaying emotions, hence she finds it difficult to keep a close relationship with those around her. All through her life she has been scared to get close to anyone, only to watch them die and forces her to continue living. If any, she finds it somewhat difficult to cope, but no-one ever realises it because she doesn't particularly like talking about her feelings. She does act rather cold around people, because of living a century of being virtually alone. But other than that, she is generally friendly, knowledgable, a little too serious, reserved, somewhat quiet and contemplative.
history:
Doctor Helen Magnus is a 150-year old teratologist, who was born in England during the Victorian Era. She followed in her father's footsteps and became one of thr first female doctor and scientist at the Royal College of Surgeans in London. Her father, Gregory Magnus spent years teaching her about his private research of studying and helping beings he calls Abnormals. Those who inherit abilities who may either appear human, and creatures as grotesq as monsters. She became a proficient medical and scientific researcher, in which her father eventually introduced her to other scientists and paranormal researches similar to her field. Then she became a part of the group known as 'the Five', who began doing research with Vampiric blood. She was the first to inject herself with the sample of pure vampire blood, which gave her a gift of longetivity and resistance to disease, and had not aged since.
Later on, Helen pursues a relationship with fellow Five member John Druitt, in which they become engaged. Being of the Five and another scientist who took the blood sample, John developed the ability to teleport through space and time. Those new abilities drove him to become a serial killer, who was well-known as Jack the Ripper causing Helen to leave him. They both concieved a child named Ashley, but who's embryo was kept frozen for over a century, until a time when Helen because extremely lonely well after her split from John.
Helen later builds the Sanctuary in Old City using her father's designs to accomodate the Abnormals. On one mission, she saves a little boy named Will Zimmerman during his childhood from a deadly Abnormal, but fails to save his mother. Decades later, he becomes a forensic phychiatrist, and later recruits him to the Sanctuary, and becomes her protege. In her staff, she has Henry Foss, a computer nerd and weapons designer who is also half-werewolf. An Abnormal who is a Neanderthal-like intellegent creature who they call 'Bigfoot' or 'Big Guy'. However, after dealing with a company called the Cabal, a race of super-Abornals arise. The Cabal are designed to capture Abnormals and utilize their abilities, making them stronger and combining them with others, making them extremely dangerous. And Ashley is captured and made completely into one of them, with all memories erased. Helen and the rest of the team managed to stop them but at a price where all the experiments eventually died, including Ashley.
John Druitt returned in time to finally meet his daughter, but not for long. After Ashley's funeral, Helen is left devestated and John leaves them once again. They recruit another woman, a con-artist who used to work for the Cabal, until she realised they wanted to get rid of her. So she joined the ranks of the Sanctuary, who utilised her tactics, thievery and skills. During the span of the years Helen has been involved with the Sanctuary, she has encountered many Abnormals in all shape and forms, and witness more than one would ever know. She once experienced a world destroyed by a nuclear Apocalypse with the help of an artefact; being infested with an agressive parasite; interacted with Sanctuaries all over the world; been accused of murdering an Abnormal; and even been discouraged by the government several times. At one time during her life, she tried to find a way to remove her imortality, but finding what she needed would cause all humanity to collapse. So, she leaves the solution behind, much to her dissapointment.
It has been about 2 years since Ashley's death. From discovering the wonders of Hollow Earth with her team, stopping and saving Big Bertha, reminiscing on the past, and overcoming her illness....Stopping Adam Worth once and for all, still remains top priority on her list.
