The God Machine was the universal construct that Yahweh formed around the entirety of his Creation. He wished for his Creation to be autonomous, running on its own rules and replicating itself as it needed in order to preserve what He had made. When Yahweh abandoned his Creation, however, the Machine's programming went wild and began to act upon protocols that it understood to be logical. Lucifer Morningstar, assisted by the Brotherhood in Violence, placed Elaine upon the vacated Seat of the Word - but the God Machine reacted by rejecting its new sovereign. It continues, to this day, to search for Yahweh.
Cogs in the Machine are agents of the God Machine. Aidan Clayce, the Voidseeker, has been fighting a long and lonely battle against the Machine in the hopes that destroying it will liberate all of humanity. Finding means to either destroy the Machine completely or program it "properly" has become even more important in this Darkest Vigil, for Hunters have just discovered that the Machine is being manipulated by the Watcher in the Dark. The Watcher has had the Machine hit the "kill switch" on the Fifth World, thus summoning Nyx to the realms.
ALYSSANDRA CAIPHAS Alias: Wisewoman Caiphas
FORMER WHITE INQUISITOR-PAWN / FORMER MEMBER OF THE WISEMAN'S COMMITTEE OF 2012; FORMER KAISER OF FIDÉLITÉ [FRANCE] MAGE [MASTIGOS; LEGACY: BEARER OF THE ETERNAL VOICE]
Simultaneously one of the most influential and most frightening members of the Wiseman’s Committee, by merit of the power she had at her disposal and her age. At over 600 years of age, Alyssandra continues to outlive most of her peers on the Committee. It was usually her voice that the Methuselah followed (or Rilea’s, but she and Liberty’s Belle didn’t often disagree on matters that affected their conspiracy) until the Ides of March.
The God Machine completed its assimilation of Alyssandra on March 15, 2012.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 21 JUNE 2016
Rumor has it that Alyssandra and Liandrin used to be lovers.
Wiseman Caiphas escaped the carnage at Sydney. Her whereabouts are unknown.
THE LADY OF THE LUCIFUGE Alias: Lady Lucifuge, the Lucifuge
ANGEL OF THE MACHINE For as far back as anyone can remember, the Lady has always been the Lady. The earliest reports of her activity date back to 853, when Methuselah Hunters wrote of the peculiar disappearances of supernatural children during the chaos that swept through the continent. Their reports grew increasingly disjointed as they dove deeper into the madness that was the Lucifuge, up until they rather chillingly stopped. Some quick detective work over the course of the next hundred years began building a pretty accurate picture for Keepers of the Vigil.
The Lady was the Lucifuge. She issued the commands, she brought each new Child of the Seventh Generation into her presence and reveals their destiny: to stand against Hell and all its doings, whether they want to or not. It has since been discovered that she was a construct of the God Machine, placed on the Fifth World to further its agenda for Yahweh. Yahweh's departure only made her obsessed with proliferating creatures in her own image as a means to protect the Machine.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 03 OCTOBER 2016
Setsuna Shinta destroyed the Lady in Milan. Team Death Wish accompanied her, and was instrumental in freeing the rest of the Lucifuge.
