Helena Martin was a freshman at Collegia Pasadena, when The Big One (earthquake) hit. As she was trying to pull a victim out of a fallen building, an aftershock struck, opening a hole directly under her. That hole dropped her into a transdimensional void, where she was physically altered, then dropped into a different reality, entirely.
Helena was then falling, backwards, and impacted on something hard, knocking her unconscious. That "something hard" turned out to be the car belonging to a Vanguard administrative supervisor. Thankfully, it was parked and empty when the impact occurred.
She woke up in the hospital, in Atlas Park, yet another newbie super. Unlike most capes, this one was functionally blind, only being able to distinguish light and dark, and whatever color (in the visible spectrum) was pointed at her eyes. Her eyes were very disturbing, being an iridescent black, with a sapphire blue glow deep within, farther back than the human skull should allow. It was akin to looking into another dimension.
After thorough testing, it was found that Helena possessed a range of growing psychic abilities: telepathy (receptive and projective), telempathy (receptive and projective), psychic shields, the ability to speak and understand any language on Earth (that has had at least a dozen people/beings speak it within Earth's atmosphere), an increased healing factor, an apparent immunity to the effects of alcohol (but she has normal reactions to other substances (ingested, inhaled, injected, absorbed), and a sparkling red force field that might just be the visible manifestation of her psychic defenses. Helena's blood type was classified as "C," as it was clearly human-type blood, but the antigens did not match normal human hemoglobin types, yet had no impact with Type-O blood. Ms. Martin can see through others' eyes by having physical contact with them, and the person's permission to do so. A limitation with her psychic abilities is that she is incapable of saying an untruth. She might prevaricate or mislead, but her words will be the absolute truth.
Helena Martin was not traded or duplicated, as the boy who would have grown up to be her father had died during an alien invasion in Los Angeles in 1977, and the woman who would have been her mother married someone else and is currently living in Bakersfield with her own, completely different family.
In normal clothes, Helena uses a folding white cane to help her move around. As Vox Veritas, she depends heavily on her mental senses, and is learning how better to use her normal, physical senses.
After staying in Transient Housing in Atlas Park, Helena moved into an apartment on Orsenigo Blvd, in Salamanca, near the Croatoa branch of the University. She is employed by the Midnight Group, a branch of the Midnight Club, translating ancient documents (books, scrolls, tablets) into English, with the aid of interns from the University's Department of Mystical Studies to act as her eyes.
As Helena grew more comfortable in the use of her abilities, and they expanded, she attracted the attention of time-dragons, who collectively call themselves "The Swarm," not to be confused with the Devouring Earth swarms. With their help, she has grown in mastery of her abilities.
