ELAINE'S GRACE If Alistair Mordechai has his Reservoir Dogs, Maes has always had Elaine's Grace - although that obviously wasn't the blade's name since its beginnings, given how supreme sovereignty over the Fifth World has changed hands thrice. Hunters of Elaine's Grace, however, have always exclusively been members of the Brotherhood in Violence as much as Maes can manage to make them. Each Hunter of Elaine's Grace has always been the chosen wielder of one of the God Weapons in the Brotherhood's possession (weapons, we note, that Maes stole from the Methuselah with Alistair's help). Keeping in tradition with Brotherhood's ways, there are never any more or less than seven members, and each one of them represents a virtue.

AURORA SANTOS [Fortitude]

AURORA SANTOS Alias: Fortitude, Chosen Wielder of Ameterasu's Paintbrush ARTISAN / GRAY ROOK [KINGFISHER & COYOTE] The freshest member of Elaine’s Grace, recovered on Philippine soil. Maes found her – the only child of a not-quite-reformed drug addict – at a home for single mothers run by nuns who liked to kick the shit out of their charges in the name of God. The spark of Artistry manifested in Aurora early, when a tiger she had drawn on the floor leapt up and pinned the nun who was trying to kick in the womb of a disobedient “aunt” of hers. Maes pulled the girl out immediately, and the Brush latched on to her within a week of her rehabilitation at the Pound. Aurora hasn’t looked back since. A Sacred Weapon that played an instrumental role during the Secret War in Heaven, crafted from a part of the God Machine itself - specifically, part of the same whole that the angel Azariel was made from. Amaterasu's Paintbrush is capable of channeling true words of power in pursuit of creating things from thin air. What it can make is limited only by its wielder's imagination, and by its wielder's inner strength. The Paintbrush is also capable of assimilating parts of the God Machine and "purifying" it from its corrupting influence. The cost of toggling that function, however, is high, and also runs the risk of alerting the Machine to the existence of its wielder. PLOT POINTS AS OF 03 OCTOBER 2016 The actual potential of the Paintbrush and the nature of its sentience are yet to be determined by Relics specialists within the Brotherhood. What they know for certain is that the Paintbrush only chooses Artisans (rare supernaturals in themselves) for wielders and bolsters the Artisan's innate abilities on top of its known functions. Aurora is currently in Falner, participating in experiments with academics from the United Vigil. The Kings are trying to determine how to maximize the Paintbrush to everyone's benefit, given how things have fallen apart in the Fifth World.
