Backstory:

Elizabeth Washington was born in England in the 1970s. She was born in an age where Feminism was still attempting to burst through. She was painfully intelligent for her time but lacked many of the social skills of the people of her time. When she recieved a scholarship to Oxford and was invited to attend school there, it shocked many of her family. She accepted of course and went to Oxford, what she did not know was that she had been chosen to slowly begin the path of Enlightment. She was selected by the Order of Hermes to be pushed toward awakening. She struggled a lot but eventually her avatar was pushed to awakening through when she was staring at a formula list in class one day. She cracked the force sphere and could see it all. She could see the various elements that made us the universe itself. And how she could alter them. That was how she joined House Solificati of the Order of Hermes. She pushed herself to discover the ancient potions of old. But she was not a good person during this time. Her mentor and her worked closely with the warmages. To Destroy the enemies of the Order. Creating acids and potions to dismantle people and buildings. She was one of the bad mages in the group.

Through her time as a Hermetic would be short lived. In 2010, she was discovered by a Tremere. Who wanted to spite the order. She was kidnapped by Diana Riverchild. She was embraced with permission and taken in by the Clan. Her old mentor attempted to resecure her. Not knowing the truth of what had happened. Diana and her Old Mentor fought, her Old Mentor won, and looked upon what Elizabeth had become, but he could not bring himself to destroy his effective daughter. He told her she was dead, and left to tell the order such. Elizabeth limped back to the Tremere and forged herself a new name. Helena Hyde. Yet she did not hate the Tremere, she prefered them even, perhaps it was being embraced with the cup that she was. But she saw the similiarties between the Tremere and the Order of Hermes, how similiar they were. She wanted them to work together, to become the True Order of Hermes that had been hurt over 800 years ago. She kept these feelings secret, she wouldn't tell anyone if she could help it, she wasn't a social perosn, but if she bidded her time long enough, maybe she could get others to see things the way she did.

During her time she joined the Aurum Guild. The Tremere House that was devoted to Alchemy, her knowledge from her time as a mage was a great boon for the Guild and she showed her skill at how quickly she started to grow. Learning Thaumaturgy. She was a natural at it, but the curse she was given, her former avatar left a mark on her. She could not learn anything else that the Tremere or other Kindred could do. Dominate and Auspex were something she spent 2 years attempting to learn, but she could not do it. After this she meet her new Mentor, Isabella Winter. A member of the Aurum Guild who saw the great potential in Helena. Together they spent the last 5 years collecting rare and obscure texts from all over the globe. But now Helena is moving to Starke, to help repair the chantry with her excellent craftsmenship skills and her knowledge of Alchemy. When volunteers were asked to go there she jumped at the idea. Of course she knew of the Starke and Jacksonville, this was the place that Hermetics and Tremere weren't fighting each other, where Supernaturals got along, perhaps her life long goal could be achieved here. If she was smart enough.
