| Lady '''Aesculapius''' was a rebellious member of the [[Firmament]], the [[10,000 Dawns]] equivalent of the [[Great House]]s. She was friends with [[Graelyn Scythes]] and [[Archimedes Von Ahnerabe]], who were once her travelling [[companion]]s 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 [[Aesculapius's Factory of Crystal|her Factory of Crystal]]. | |

| === A life of adventure ===
| |
| A renegade of the [[Firmament]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Canvas (short story)|White Canvas]]'') Aesculapius met a number of individuals from the various [[universe]]s she travels on her journeys aboard her [[Factory of Crystal]]. Some became her travelling [[companion]]s. She was often confronted with [[Meistras|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 (short story)|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 warrior]]s into [[N-Space]]. After meeting with [[Littlejohn]] on [[Gendar (planet)|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 [[Town (White Canvas)|Auteur's Town]], Aesc was the star of a long-running [[television]] series which had 276 [[blu-ray]]s and wasn't suited to [[movie]]s. 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.

| | |
| === 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 (short story)|Life After Death]]'')
