Editing The Custodian (section)

==Personality==
Considered herself duty bound to protect the [[Cauldron Compound]]<ref name="21.x e2"/> and act as warden for the people there.<ref name="29.4 e1"/>

Tried to be relatively gentle when dealing with Cauldron subjects.<ref name="29.5 e3">The damage continued outside. The Custodian pursued the group in the stairwell, harassing, bludgeoning. She separated the crowd into groups and then bulled them back, driving them towards empty cells. I was drawing my bugs back to me in stages, concentrating them on a few people at a time, trying to track what she was doing.<br/><br/>Yet even with that, I couldn’t follow it all. Flayed skin, people holding their hands against one eye, joints bent the wrong way, bleeding wounds.<br/><br/>Nothing lethal. Only punishment. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/venom-29-5/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.5]]</ref> Not using lethal force when actually able to.

As she was unable to communicate with most people given the state she is in, she was just another silent tool Cauldron used to achieve their ends.<ref>PitaEnigma: So basically Contessa refused to talk to anyone other than Doctor Mother<br/>PitaEnigma: and people outside of Cauldron?<br/>Cyrix: eeeeh<br/>Cyrix: I am unsure how and why you jump to that conclusion<br/>Mishie: Uh<br/>PitaEnigm>: Because it's a funny mental image, mostly<br/>Mishie: Wat<br/>Cyrix: thats not a very good reason<br/>Wildbow: Not refused. Just wasn't necessary. The Triumvirate would've felt like their hands were being forced if Contessa got involved.<br/>Wildbow: Doctor Mother speaking is a little less threatening & a little more organic.<br/> abyssonym: that's right, they agreed to let her do most of the talking<br/>Wildbow: They're ~surrounded~ by mostly mute people acting as tools.<br/>Wildbow: The clairvoyant, doormaker, the custodian, countless deviants.<br/>Wildbow: The slug. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/35365744/ Wildbow on IRC, archived on Spacebattles]</ref> Yet she is still able to use her abilities to communicate with [[The Number Man]],<ref name="21.x e1">“You need to narrow it down,” the [[Number Man]] said.  “Help me find the trouble.”<br/><br/>His voice resulted in an outcry, the people in the cells nearest him realizing he was there, shouting, swearing, insulting him in twenty-nine different languages.<br/><br/>He ignored the shouting, instead extending his right hand.  “Is it this floor?  Yes…”<br/><br/>He extended his left hand, “Or no?”<br/><br/>The faintest brush of air touched his left hand, so faint he might not have felt it while he was walking.<br/><br/>He turned back for the staircase, made his way down. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/interlude-21-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref><ref name="21.x e2">[[Number Man|He]] withdrew a pen from his pocket, spun it around one finger. The notation billowed around it, and through it, he could see the movement of the pen, the plotted trajectory, the velocity and rotation of it. The numbers clicked into place with a speed that made the rest of him, his very perceptions, seem like slow motion.<br/><br/>Here and there, there were incongruities. Painting an entirely different picture. His companion was here, near him. Bending the most fundamental rules. The Custodian.<br/><br/>In another scenario, she would have been kept here and disposed of once we’d found a way to dissect her.<br/><br/>“I know you want to help,” he commented. He wasn’t even entirely sure if he was being heard. “You see it as your responsibility. But it’s best you stay behind.”. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/interlude-21-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref> [[Satyrical]]<ref name="29.6 e1">Four copies of the Custodian appeared before us as we made our way into the fourth floor. Each moved slightly out of sync with the others as they moved their heads. It was only when the third and fourth moved that I realized just how they were moving their heads – raising their chins to look up.<br/><br/>“I know, my dear,” Satyr said. “How close?”<br/><br/>They didn’t respond. Instead, they disappeared. First one pair, then the remaining pair.<br/><br/>“Second floor basement,” Satyr said. “Scion is taking his time making his way down.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/venom-29-6/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.6]]</ref> and [[Taylor]]<ref name="29.4 e2">I spread my bugs out through the area. Felt the Custodian flowing through the air, a little faster than before.<br/><br/>She flew towards me, and I flinched, taking a step back.<br/><br/>She repeated the process, looping back, then charging me.<br/><br/>This time, when I took a step back, it was on purpose. She’d done it a second time because she wanted me to take a second step. And a third, a fourth…<br/><br/>“Go,” I said. “This way. Move.”<br/><br/>We ran. I focused on my swarm, spreading the bugs out as much as I could behind us and in front of us.<br/><br/>Different cells sat at the end of the hallway. Bigger cells, arranged so that they faced the opposite direction, with paths leading in, then to the right, then back into the room.<br/><br/>Two-nine-three. An empty, unlabeled cell. Two-six-five. Two more empty, unlabeled cells.<br/><br/>[[Bastard]] shook his head again, opened his mouth in an almost yawning, lazy bite. I could sense the Custodian there, brushing by the side of his face.<br/><br/>I moved the swarm to block the other inmate’s view of us.<br/><br/>“Head-” I started, but Rachel was already making her way inside one of the empty cells. She’d put the pieces together. “…right.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/venom-29-4/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.4]]</ref><ref name="29.5 e1">“That was the basic idea. But I’ll need to do something else,” I said. I turned off the effect around it, watched as it dissolved into smoke. “Custodian.”<br/><br/>I felt out with my bugs. She reached directly into the swarm, letting me feel the slow movement of her hand.<br/><br/>“Generally speaking, you think you could handle most of the ones out there?”<br/><br/>She slowly floated through my swarm. The movement of her head… was she shaking it? - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/venom-29-5/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.5]]</ref> each developing ways to give a 'voice' to the voiceless woman.
