Cousin Mullion was a member of Faction Paradox who failed to attain the rank of "Mother" despite being a Homeworlder. She wore traditional armour made from Yssgaroth-tainted bones of Homeworlders from an alternative timeline. Her shadow-weapon was a flatbow and arrow.

Mullion claimed to have joined the Faction before the start of the War in Heaven. As a Cousin, she fought "the sick Shed Scales alongside runagates and aconites" and lived through the fall of the Eleven-Day Empire and the drafting of the false Venue Accords. She eventually became part of a small Faction cabal with Amara, Axastyakis, Cá Bảy Màu, and Hole. (PROSE: What Keeps Their Lines Alive)

Mullion, Axastyakis, Cá Bảy Màu, and Hole were among the members of the cult who were deceived by Auteur's unaffiliated twelfth incarnation into believing that this Auteur instead postdated the version (PROSE: White Canvas) who had become a Godfather of the Faction. (PROSE: A Bloody (And Public) Domaine) Acting on her spurious orders, the first cultists deceived by Auteur had helped create tears between the 10,000 Dawns and their universe, allowing the painted warriors to cross into the Dawns after they were tricked by Auteur into believing the Dawns planned to attack the Original Mammoths.

After Graelyn Scythes threw off Auteur's ritual, however, Auteur ordered the hundreds of cultists now under her command to take up residence within a Town she created within the White Canvas, and to act as its innocuous population for multiple years in order to provide a controlled environment in which to raise the deaged Graelyn over again into someone who would go along with what the ritual needed her to do. While Hole was already present in the Town by its tenth year, Mullion, Axastyakis and Cá Bảy Màu, who already knew Hole, arrived in the Town's fifteenth year. Over the next two, Mullion grew increasingly frustrated with Auteur's tyrannical way of ruling the Town, and, in the Town's seventeenth year, eventually decided to confront Auteur, trying to prevail upon their shared species to pretend to not be afraid of her.

However, Auteur was unimpressed and, using the power of her gauntlet, sucked Mullion into the White Canvas, sending her spiraling through a metafictional, psychologically harrowing nightmare controlled by Auteur. At the end of it, her spirits completely broken, Mullion acknowledged Auteur as her "Godmother" in a sense of emotional submission moreso than the strict ranks of the cult, and agreed to obey her. Mullion subsequently tattled to Auteur about the insubordinate actions of Skinflint, another cultist who'd come to resent Auteur's tyrannical ways. Subsequently, all the inhabitants of the Town, cultists included, were briefly turned into fiction by Auteur, only for everyone to be released and returned to their proper place in the cosmos by Graelyn using the gauntlet, which she'd won back from Auteur.

Later, intent on proving herself within the Faction, Mullion went on a personal crusade to murder all her past and future selves. Mullion got distracted at one point in this crusade and was almost killed by a Nambiro, but was saved by Amara's presence. (PROSE: What Keeps Their Lines Alive)
