Lady Aesculapius was a rebellious member of the Firmament, the 10,000 Dawns equivalent of the Great Houses. She was friends with Graelyn Scythes and Archimedes Von Ahnerabe, who were once her travelling companions through time and space. Like other members of the Firmament, Aesculapius escaped death many times over by downloading her consciousness into new bodies, while the previous ones received burial in her Factory of Crystal.
Biography
A life of adventure
A renegade of the Firmament, (PROSE: White Canvas) Aesculapius met a number of individuals from the various universes she travels on her journeys aboard her Factory of Crystal. Some became her travelling companions. She was often confronted with Professor Meistras, her old mentor who often tried to teach her "lessons" through such extreme methods as murdering one of her bodies. (PROSE: Life After Death)
Turned to fiction
When the Firmament were turned to fiction by Auteur, Lady Aesc tried to find other survivors using her Quantum Whisk, which led her to New York City in 2460. From there, she joined Graelyn and Arch in pursuit of the painted warriors into N-Space. After meeting with Littlejohn on Gendar and being joined by Coloth, Aesc and her cohorts confronted the Original Mammoths. They were then betrayed by Auteur and Aesc was made a fictional character.
In Auteur's Town, Aesc was the star of a long-running television series which had 276 blu-rays and wasn't suited to movies. Aesc escaped from fictionality during the Town's destruction and briefly fought the Firmament with Coloth. Later, she was present at the Needle during the signing of the Christmas Needle Agreement, playing cards with Archimedes, Coloth, and many other aliens. (NOTVALID: White Canvas)
Investigating her own murder
After opening a booby-trapped letter, one of Lady Aesculapius's incarnations, which was far from the first, was killed. As she was a member of the Firmament, she was able to survive by downloading her consciousness into a new synthetic body. However, to discover who had actually killed her previous self, this new Aesculapius instead let the universe assume she had really died, and attended the funeral of her previous body in disguise as her own cousin, "Raesculapius". She eventually discovered that it had been her long-time nemesis Professor Meistras who had done the deed. (PROSE: Life After Death)
Behind the scenes
- "Aesculapius" is the latin name of the Greco-Roman god of healing and medicine.
- Lady Aesc originates from the short story Never Go On Walks, first published in James Wylder's unofficial Doctor Who poetry book An Eloquence of Time and Space and later republished in the 10,000 Dawns anthology Poor Man's Illiad, which also included a story on Aesc's origins in the Firmament.
