*The "spirit" possessing Jago's body is, in fact, the consciousness of a refugee who escaped from a dying world in the [[49th century]]. He and the other refugees projected their consciousnesses through time and made contact with Mrs Vanguard. They plan to transfer their consciousnesses into the bodies of influential people in [[1890s]] [[London]] with their ultimate goal to take control of Queen Victoria. From the historical records, they are aware that she is still in mourning for her long deceased husband [[Albert|Prince Albert]]. He mentions that, in decades to come, there will be "[[World War I|brutal]], [[World War II|terrible wars]] which will determine the fate of [[Earth|this planet]]." With one of their kind possessing Queen Victoria's body, they intend to "turn the tides of history" and create a new future, thereby preventing the destruction of their world. | * The "spirit" possessing Jago's body is, in fact, the consciousness of a refugee who escaped from a dying world in the [[49th century]].
