Revision as of 17:01, 19 June 2023
The Usher of Truth is an Iconoclast present on Palisade.
Appearance
When taking the form of Constantina Malady, the Usher of Truth looks like one of the glass nobles of the Fabreal Duchy, with Maleficent-style glass horns on her glass head.[1] As the Orion gem dealer "Gem", she resembles Adjoa Andoh with "the buzz cut look that she occasionally rocks".[2] When both these disguises were broken (literally shattered, in the first case) she took on a tendriled, melting body made of paint.[3]
History and Involvement
She was trapped in Q-concrete by the Rapid Evening for 5,000 years and removed by the Bilats, who sought to position her as the fabled Constantina Malady. She can affect people's dreams, or their memories of their dreams.[3] She also has the ability to open anything -- a container, a door, a gate -- and withdraw another Iconoclast to increase her power and size.[4]
She was referred to by the codename "Gem" during Operation Midnight Lapidary, a mission given to the crew of the Blue Channel by Gucci Garantine in PALISADE's Canvas of Dreams arc.[5] While the rest of the crew was ordered to keep "Gem" away from the coronation, the Figure in Bismuth was instructed by the Witch in Glass to capture her. Although her true identity was revealed, the Figure succeeded in convincing his crewmates, and so the Usher of Truth was once again imprisoned. This time she was placed in a Q-concrete sarcophagus which the crew pushed into the sea to be picked up by the Witch.[3]
The Witch plans to use her to unlock the powers of the Iconoclasts for herself.[4]
