Sister Aubert

Sister Aubert is the caretaker of the Vessel of the Children of Atom at the Nucleus

Background
A faithful devotee of the Children of Atom,  she was tasked with maintaining one of the most powerful sources of the Glow on the Island, The Vessel. It is a true honor for her and those children that die to be buried there. The crypt was constructed in the vessel for several reasons, one because it keeps the faithful close to their radiation, two for sanitary reasons and three it keeps them close to their family. The last point is an emotional one for her, as her lover Edgar was singled out as unfaithful to their cult.

After their previous confessor Martin disappeared, Tektus elevated himself from grand zealot to high confessor; Aubert was wary and saw his growing paranoia as a concern. Edgar, however, believed that even if there were problems with the new high confessor, his friend Brian Richter would tell him. Edgar did urge Aubert to continue using their shared footlocker in the Vessel's storage room to share messages to avoid the gossip that spread so easily in their community.

His trust was proven to be misplaced, as Richter was not there to stand for him when he was declared unfaithful and executed, and the grand zealot even covered for his death. This especially caused Aubert to despise Tektus, believing that only Martin was worthy of leading the congregation.

This, however, leaves her in the same position as all those who do not blindly follow Tektus, frightened into submission so they are not subsequently executed as a heretic.
