Editing Nix (section)

==History==
===Background===
Nix, and her twin sister Nyx both took Cauldron vials,<ref name="R1">'''sanctaphrax:''' What was the deal with Nix and Nyx, anyway?<br/><br/>'''Wildbow:''' Twin sisters, took Cauldron vials, one went Case 53. - [https://redd.it/334479 Comment by] [[Wildbow]] on Reddit</ref> presumably as part of tests with capes with identical DNA, like [[Fenja]] and [[Menja]]. Only Nix had viable powers, while Nyx became a "monstrous cape". It appears that Nyx was released into the world as another Case 53, while Nix was allowed to continue her life as normal, presumably joining the Wards and then graduating to the Protectorate.

This was earlier than 1987 as her sister was a founding member of the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]].<ref name="I25e1">[[Bonesaw|Her]] eyes tracked the rows and columns of incubation chambers.  They weren’t her field either.  A different row for each member of the Slaughterhouse Nine, past or present.<br/><br/>King<br/>Screamer<br/>Harbinger<br/>Breed<br/>Crimson <br/>Gray Boy<br/>[[Nyx]]<br/>Psychosoma<br/><br/>There were ten of each in various glass chambers. The original members. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref>

===Story Start===
Nix would eventually join the Las Vegas Protectorate, it was possible that like her sister she was brainwashed and placed there deliberately.<ref name="SB1">Cauldron's habit was to take all of the human experiments that turned out well, brainwash them, and then place them in larger organizations to support said organizations, fighting the natural tendency for parahumans to seek conflict (and thus making forming large committed groups hard). Shamrock could well have been slated for the Protectorate, Red Gauntlet, the Suits, or even the Nemesis program (being brainwashed with an auto-lose trigger against one client who paid a good sum, so that client could get a better position and climb faster in rep). - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15078112 Comment by] [[Wildbow]] on Spacebattles</ref><ref name="15.z">She stepped into the brightly lit corridors of Cauldron’s testing laboratory and strode down to the cells.<br/><br/>Thirty cells, filled with subjects.  Thirty-one now.  The cells didn’t appear to have doors, but the individuals within were all too aware of the dangers of stepping beyond the perimeters of their cells, or of trying to harass Alexandria as she strode by.<br/><br/>Only two-thirds of them were monstrous, affected by the formulas.  Others would go free with alterations to their memories.  Some would have fatal weaknesses inserted into their psyches, reason to hesitate at a crucial moment against a certain foe. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/08 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.z]]</ref>
===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
Left with the rest of the Vegas Protectorate.<ref name="23.2 e2">Satyrical gestured, and most of his team joined the L.A. team members.  I was left kneeling, still catching my breath.  Satyr and Nix hung back, arms folded, exchanging surreptitious glances.<br/>[...]<br/>“You were going to leave the Protectorate?  You had to have been.”<br/><br/>“Yeah.”  It was Nix who spoke, not Satyr.<br/><br/>“Just like that?”<br/><br/>Nix shook her head.  “It’s gone.  Doomed.  We lost Alexandria, we lost Legend and Eidolon.  The new team doesn’t hit half as hard.  Look at Rime.  Taken out of action like that.  Protectorate’s a shadow of what it was.”<br/>[...]<br/>“Alexandria ''worked'' for them,” I said.<br/><br/>Nix shrugged.<br/><br/>Arbiter looked up at Satyr and Nix, “If you leave, the Endbringers-”<br/><br/>Nix interrupted, “We’ll still fight Endbringers.  But the Protectorate was going to take Pretender from us because of how he got his powers.  It’s ridiculous.”<br/><br/>“He was still going to be on the team,” Arbiter said.  “Just… we can’t let him be leader if he’s beholden to a group like that.”<br/><br/>“It shouldn’t matter.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.2]]</ref>

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Presumably did a few jobs for the Doctor like the rest of her team.

===[[Gold Morning]]===
As part of Vegas Dark she helped with the infiltration of Cauldron after [[Doormaker]] was left incapacitated. She helped obscure the Portal to the [[Cauldron Compound]]. She was stopped by the strike team the Protectorate sent.<ref name="29.3 e2">Golem set about binding him to the cave floor with hands of stone.<br/><br/>I looked at Nix. “Her too.”<br/><br/>Golem reached into his costume, and hands of stone gripped Nix.<br/><br/>“To the ceiling,” I decided, at the last second.<br/><br/>“Sure,” Golem said. Hands of stone emerged, passing Nix up. She struggled a bit, but she was at an unsafe height by the time she realized what he was doing.<br/><br/>She was bound to the cave ceiling with armholds, leg holds and an arm set across her collarbone. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/venom-29-3/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.3]]</ref>

She was last mentioned being taken into Protectorate custody,<ref>The Protectorate is just on the other side of the portal, collecting Satyr’s teammates, Nix and Spur. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref> but given [[Rise of Khepri|later events]] it is unknown if she remained in it or even survived.
