Antoinette Bax is a starship pilot in the Rust Belt in Redemption Ark.She is harassed by police authorities in the area until she rescues Clavain, which draws her into the conflict between Clavain and the Conjoiners.During the events of Absolution Gap, the Nostaliga for Infinity leaves Ararat.Antionette opts to remain on the planet and is thus caught in the inihibitor bombardment of the planet (although it is implied that the pattern jugglers may have absorbed her into the ocean before the bombardment commenced).Aura
Aura appears in Absolution Gap.The daughter of Ana Khouri and a renegade from Resurgam named Thorn, Aura is altered in the Hades matrix to convey knowledge of advanced technologies in order to fight the Inhibitors.She is also adapted with Conjoiner technology.At one point, Skade kidnaps her and becomes her surrogate mother: she is "born" when she is cut from the dying Skade (which Skade allows in exchange for Nevil Clavain's death).In the prologue and epilogue of the book (roughly 400 years after the Hela mission), she has returned to Ararat as the Greenfly machines are consuming the galaxy.Cahuella
Caheulla lived on Sky's Edge in a renovated zoological compound called the Reptile House, from where he sold weapons to both sides involved in the planet's civil war, which led to a bounty being placed on him for war crimes.In Chasm City it is told how he hired Tanner Mirabel to provide an expert level of security for himself and his wife, Gitta.However, Gitta is accidentally killed by Mirabel when she is taken hostage in a revenge attempt by Argent Reivich.In his grief, Cahuella tortures Mirabel by having him eaten alive by a near adult hamadryad (despite the fact that all terran species are poisonous to Hamadyads) then trawls his memories in order to flee the planet believing Mirabel dead.The Captain is a very mysterious character, hovering between wisdom and abject madness.He does have a respect for Clavain and is the only other 'person' who can compare with him in terms or age, wisdom and experience, although the Captain stated that he was already an old man when Clavain was born.Sajaki and, effectively, creating a duplicate of himself, ensuring his survival even if he was unable to recover from the Plague.The Melding Plague affects the captain in a different way to other descriptions of the plague in the Revelation Space series.Stealer entity may have had an effect.In any case, the result was the melding of the captain to his ship in such a way that he retains his own consciousness, and demonstrates increasing control over the ship and its weapons.The Captain sheds large parts of himself during a descent to Hela, where he intends to 'dock' with the planet and alter its orbit so that it rotates at exactly the same speed it orbits.It is not know if the Captain dies during this invasion but it is considered very likely and Captain John Armstrong Brannigan is not mentioned again.Before he dies, however, he is able to activate the hypometric weapon and kill Grelier, who was holding Aura hostage.In that role, he had designed orbital lasers set above Mars, and led assaults on the Conjoiners on Mars, earning the epithet the Butcher of Tharsis.After being injured in battle, he awakens to find that Galiana has interfaced nanobots with his brain as the only way to save him.However, he rather willingly experiments with additional interface, until becoming a full Conjoiner, shortly before leaving with the rest of the Conjoiners in the first interstellar spacecraft that can carry live human beings.Centuries later, Clavain does not use the newer Conjoiner technology as Skade and other Conjoiners do and continues to rely on his outdated and old implants, which enables him to escape a growing threat from a secret infiltration from within the Conjoiners, by a sinister personality that has taken control of Skade.Clavain departs from the Yellowstone system for the Resurgam system along with several other Conjoiners and Underworld figures from Chasm City.Clavain and Skade have a showdown on the planet Ararat, where he accepts a deal with the dying Skade to allow a Caesarian section to be performed on her to recover the unborn Aura in exchange for the simultaneous torturing to the death of Clavain by the unwilling Scorpio.Clavain's last request is to be buried at sea which is carried out by Scorpio who witnesses Pattern Juggler activity as Clavain meets Galiana and Felka at last in his presumed final resting place.Warren and Nevil are both senior military officers of the Coalition, which has long been in warfare with the Conjoiners.Originally a docile entity that did little but (as its name implies) make intricate clocks, it later went on a killing spree throughout the facility it was in and killed or maimed numerous people (including attacking a woman with a scarab, a device that would kill her if she fell asleep and could not be removed) until Panoply stopped it.It is later resurrected by a secret research organisation in Panoply and used against Aurora, the antagonist of the novel.The Clockmaker is said to be extremely dangerous, with conventional human weaponry having no effect on it whatosever (it took an extremely strong EMP to disable it for a little while).Tom Dreyfuss
Tom Dreyfuss is a Prefect, an agent with an elite investigative police force around the Glitter Band known as the Panoply.He is the central character of The Prefect.Felka
Felka is the product of an experiment carried out by Galliana on Mars during the early days of the Conjoined, by which nanobots were interfaced with Felka constantly beginning early in her embryonic development.Felka is rescued by Clavain in the evacuation of the Conjoiners' nest on Mars, shortly before the Conjoiners become the first living humans to depart the Solar System, aboard a starcraft clandestinely manufactured inside of Phobos.Felka later forms one of her closest friendships on the first extrasolar planet the Conjoiners land on, Diadem, with Iverson, the sole survivor of a prior colony that had been planted there from an AI starship that had raised human colonists from embryos after reaching the planet.Felka makes considerable progress toward a more normal capability for social interaction during her friendship with Iverson, although Clavain later find out Iverson is in fact "Setterholm", another member of the Diadem colony who killed all the others.Centuries later, Felka lives in the Conjoiner mothernest, still pursuing experiments in emergent phenomena, when she departs from the infiltrated Conjoiners with Clavain.Galiana
Galiana was one of the most prominent founding members of the Conjoiners, a group that began on Mars and became linked with each other in a partial transhumanist collective consciousness through experimenting with interfacing their brains with nanotechnology and AI components.Galiana later leaves on an interstellar exploration mission where she encounters inhibitor machinery that consumes her crew and places her under permanent mind control.It is implied at the conclusion of Redemption Ark that Galiana saved an imprint of herself in the oceans of Ararat.Queen new bodies so she could repeatedly torture herself to death."H"
In Chasm City, Sky Haussmann is the son of Titus Haussmann, the head of security aboard the Santiago.Sky discovers that he is not in fact his father's son, and was an infant 'momio' awakened by Titus seceretly after the death of his own son.The planet Sky's Edge was founded after the Flotilla of ships from Earth landed there and mockingly named in Sky's honour as a reminder of the action he took to ensure that the Santiago would be the first of the Flotilla to arrive.Due to his crime, Haussmann was apparently crucified after the other colonists landed on Sky's Edge.Sky himself entered reefersleep for several decades, before eventually fleeing the planet.Sky Haussmann is the center of a pervasive cult, and those who worship him do so as if he were a god.Resurgam and, with Clavain, saving most of humanity.The Mademoiselle
The Mademoiselle was an emissary of the Shrouders, possibly an artificial intelligence, who was imprinted on the brain of Carine Lefevre when the latter entered Lascialle's Shroud.She returned to Chasm City in Lefevre's body and secretly became a major underworld figure, with the ultimate goal of making sure Sun Stealer was prevented from provoking the Inhibitors.Her original body was apparently killed by H, but some remnant of her lived on inside Skade's brain (disguising itself as the voice of the "Night Council").Sky's Edge, later becoming security chief to arms trader Cahuella.Most of our knowledge of Tanner comes from the stolen memories Cahuella implanted into himself, however these are increasingly tainted by the morality and character of Cahuella himself, making reliable character description difficult.Quaiche
Quaiche was the second baseline human among Queen Jasmina's Gnostic Ascencion.After discovering Hela, the Gnostic Ascension was destroyed by a sentry, and the only person Quaiche has loved, Morwenna, was killed by the high gee force of the Dominatrix, while she was in the Scrimshaw suit.Within his cathedral, the Lady Morwenna, which is to circumnavigate Hela in order to witness the planet it orbits, Haldora, disappear, he keeps the scrimshaw suit, which serves as the prison for the shadow envoy.He is killed when he falls from the top of his cathedral while trying to escape while it falls off of the bridge and into Absolution Gap.This enables her to become useful to Quaiche.She originally believes that humanity should negotiate with the Shadows, a race that claims to exist in a parallel brane world to ours, but Scorpio convinces her otherwise by suggesting that this caused the last race to do so to be wiped out.Centuries later, he, Clavain, and Skade work together among the top leadership of the Conjoiners.Another Conjoiner, Weather, who belongs to another faction that has been out of contact with Clavain and Remontoire for centuries, reveres Remontoire as the greatest leader of the early Conjoiners.The outcome of this engagement isn't shown, but the leaders of the Infinity crew consider him dead after his last transmission.Scorpio develops an intense hatred of humankind which drives his rise to infamy, becoming a feared figure in the Rust Belt.Although not described in detail, it appears that he is eventually captured and detained by the Demarchist authorities, being transported to likely execution.After Clavains' defection, Scorpio and Remontoire head to a Habitat orbiting Yellowstone in order to stop Clavain.After Remontoire and the rest of the Conjoiners arrive in system, Scorpio heads to the island to consult Clavain.In a twist of plans, Scorpio, Khouri, Vasko and Aura, after Scorpio destroy the bridge crossing Absolution Gap, decide to let the Scrimshaw Suit carrying the shadow envoy fall to its destruction with Quaiche's cathedral.His fate after this is unknown (all that is said is that "after that, he didn't remember very much"), although it is implied that he is the one accompanying Aura on planet Ararat in the prologue and epilogue of Absolution Gap.This would, however, make Scorpio over four hundred years old, when he previoulsy stated he would be unlikely to reach 60 (as most advanced medical technology had been lost to the melding plague).Skade
Skade appears in the book Redemption Ark and, to a lesser extent, in Absolution Gap.Skade is a Conjoiner, and one of the more recent ones.Night Council, although in Redemption Ark it is hinted that the Night Council does not exist at all as a Conjoiner body, but is actually an avatar for the mental structure of the Mademoiselle that has infiltrated Skade's mind.Clavain was able to survive her attack.When Clavain flees the comet containing the Mother Nest, he snaps the anchor tethers of his ship rather than disengaging them from the comet's surface first, and one of them slices Skade in two through the upper torso.She survives with little more than her original head, mounted on an android body.Later, when a ship she is in is about to be destroyed by weapons deployed by Clavain, her ship jettisons an escape pod containing only her head, with an interface enabled to keep her head alive for long enough for the escape pod to rendezvous with another Conjoiner ship.Skade is later mortally wounded in battle on the planet Ararat, and makes a deal to allow the unborn Aura to be recovered from her womb before she dies in exchange for Nevil Calvain being tortured to death by Scorpio.He is eventually inducted into the Hades Matrix, an apparent neutron star that is actually a solid sphere of computronium, where he effectively becomes immortal as a component of the computronium.His ambition becomes so extreme that he is forced to abandon the project.In Diamond Dogs, Trintignant is hired by Roland Childe to go on an expedition to visit a mysterious alien structure known as the Blood Spire.However, in the short story Grafenwalder's Bestiary, Trintignant is retrieved by the former Denizen, Ursula Goodglass.Ultra, and a major character in both Revelation Space and Redemption Ark.Melding Plague in his body.She ultimately sacrifices herself preventing the suicide of Captain Brannigan, now indistinguishable from the ship.She later dies on a suicide mission attacking the Inhibitors around Resurgam in an attempt to slow them down, giving the Nostalgia for Infinity the best possible chance of escape.This page was last modified 15:59, 8 January 2008.See Copyrights for details. |
