She read Fine Arts at Magdalen College, Oxford University, before finding employment at the National Gallery as an art consultant.

BASE OF OPERATIONS
The Bastion
The Bastion is the tower headquarters occupied by the Protectors.
Hexton Hall
Located in Hambleston, Gloucestershire, Hexton Hall was a royal manor in the days of the Saxon kings. The manor remained a royal residence until the reign of Elizabeth I when it was gifted to the first Earl of Cavenham.
In the late 1700s, Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was commissioned by the Derwent family to redesign and enlarge the house and landscape the park. Brown set the style of the present-day building by retaining the Elizabethan stables, the Riding School, and the great gabled front to the house, which he doubled in depth. He also provided gabled wings at either end of the house, creating the Picture Gallery and State Rooms in the east and a library and new kitchens in the west. The Picture Gallery was designed as a triple cube and has a coffered plasterwork ceiling over a high cove stuccoed in scrolls. The Long Gallery contains Italian Old Masters, with a notable marquetry commode, matching candlestands, and four pier glasses.
Brown also worked as a landscape architect and separated the park from the pleasure grounds using a ha-ha (sunken fence) so that the view from the house would not be obstructed. Brown enlarged the fish ponds to create a lake and constructed an orangery and a Gothic Bath House. He created a "Great Walk" stretching for a mile through clumps of trees. An ornamental arch was built so that the family and their guests could walk underneath the public right of way without having to cross it. Brown also planted screens of trees around the park to obscure roads and fields beyond, making the view more arcadian.
After Brown’s death, John Nash was commissioned to completely remodel the north façade in Strawberry Hill Gothic style, further embellishing other areas of Brown's external building works, including the Bath House in the North Avenue and a folly ruin incorporating some medieval stonework.
ALTERNATE VERSION
There exists a Praetorian counterpart to the Psykey of Primal Earth. She is also a gifted mutant psychic but her abilities were honed differently and her life is the complete opposite.
Psymitar
Katherine remembers nothing of her past. Perhaps it is for the best.
Her father was a high-ranking member of the Cole Administration who discovered his daughter's nascent psychic powers. Unwilling to see her rot in the Mother of Mercy Psychiatric Hospital or in the Seer Network, he altered her screening results and condemned an innocent unpowered girl to his daughter's fate instead. The truth was exposed when the girl perished as she began her conditioning and as punishment, the Derwents were forced to watch their daughter's capture before being executed for treason.
As Seer 7734, Kate survived the cruel conditioning of the Network and outperformed others to earn her "Psymitar" moniker, only gaining freedom when Praetor Tilman attempted to mindwash Praetoria. The trauma Mother suffered at a retaliatory assault upon her Seer Network severed her link to her *daughters*, meaning that for the first time in years Kate was free from the tangled psiweb but no less damaged and twisted from her time in it.
She escaped Praetoria’s ultimate downfall and now stalks Primal Earth, a shadow of her former self but no less formidable.
