Background edit

Led by the specter of Catherine the Great, the Soviet Empire has flourished in a brave new world of mysticism. But while her deeper motivations are often obfuscated from the world stage, one thing is for certain: she hates being a ghost. To this end she has tasked The Empire’s spymaster with one goal: find a way to make her corporeal once more.

Relentless in pursuit of his task; the operative known only as "The Raven" has scoured the Earth looking for strange artifacts, apocryphal writings, and wisdom of the life beyond. Now in New York, Raven looks to find a way to tether Catherine’s spirit to the mortal coil.

A FATE'S TALE

Lore edit

Raven carries a canopic jar, used by ancient Egyptians to store the soul of the dead in the mummification process.[1]

Raven mentions Rasputin[2] and the Romanovs.[3]

Raven hopes the OSIC will be cooperative to his plans.[4]

Character interactions edit

  • Both Raven and Paradox claim to be in possession of the Tome of Anubis. Wraith says she thought the Tome was at the Met.[1][5]
    • At some point, the Tome of Anubis was reportedly seen in New York's black market.[6]

Gallery edit

Trivia edit

  • Raven is referred to in the files as Operative.
  • The name "Soviet Empire" may be considered an oxymoron in the real world, as the word "soviet" defines socialist worker councils that were opposed to the Russian Empire. However, the literal meaning of the word before the Russian Revolution was just "council".[7] It is currently unclear how much the Soviet Empire diverges from the real world Soviet Union in the Deadlock timeline.
