Editing The Custodian (section)

==History==
===Background===
The Custodian was originally a [[Earth Cheit]] native, who was given a [[Cauldron Vial]].<ref>[[Black 13.x]]</ref> 

Despite the horrendous wrong done to her she voluntarily,<ref name="R1">Custodian basically is like the guy Number Man fought in his interlude. She's a reality-breaking Case 53. Rather than get brainwashed/contained, she took on a role within Cauldron. She occupies all space within an area, but her strength is diffuse. - [https://redd.it/2fbpza Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> of her own free will,<ref name="27.x e3">Had the Doctor chosen, Contessa could have handled the entire discussion.  She would have won the argument.  Had she so chosen, she could well have framed it so that he walked away happy, content with the situation. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/27 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 27.x|27.x (Interlude, Eidolon)]]</ref> took on a role in Cauldron.<ref>He continued, “I know what your ''Contessa'' does.  I know about Number Man too.  Hell, we know about the ghost girl who keeps you company.”<br/><br/>“We call her the Custodian.”<br/><br/>“Is she one of your mistakes, like us?”<br/><br/>“Yes,” the Doctor said.<br/><br/>“And did you brainwash her to keep her servile?”<br/><br/>“No.  For one, she has no brain.  Is this really necessary, Weld?” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/17 Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.2]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
The Custodian assisted Number Man in preventing an escape by [[Subject 3016]].<ref name="I21.x"> - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/interlude-21-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref>

She later provided silent invisible security at the [[Khonsu Meeting]] where a new world order was forged.<ref name="25.5">I was going to speak, when I noticed another presence.  A non-presence.  It was a shift of air currents that seemed unprovoked, affecting certain bugs when it should have touched other bugs in front or behind them.<br/><br/>The topographical sense I got from the movements of my bugs suggested a woman’s form, nude.  It wasn’t entirely gone when another appeared across the room.  The way they moved in sync- not two people.  One person, if she could be called a person; a phantom, flowing through the space around me and the woman in the suit. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/scarab-25-5/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.5]]</ref> She presumably provided similar security for subsequent meetings.

===[[Gold Morning]]===
May have also been at the meeting to discuss [[Scion|Zion]]'s rampage.

Was held off by the Irregulars through the use of [[Mantellum]].

Assisted both Taylor's assault team and Vegas Dark in finding [[Doctor Mother]].<ref name="29.4 e1">No.  Wait.  There was someone.<br/><br/>Something.<br/><br/>I’d sensed it at the meeting the Doctor had arranged.  The spirit, the ghost.  So subtle it was almost impossible to notice.  The currents of the air, the faintest of traces in dust that marked where she’d traveled… all things I’d mentally dismissed.  Air tended to move.  Only the fact that this was a closed space, without any kind of air conditioning or temperature difference made the movements in the air curious.<br/><br/>Paying attention,  I could see that there was a pattern, a consistent repetition in air currents so feeble they might not have moved a feather.<br/><br/>The lights flickered back on, went out, and then settled in a compromise, the dull translucent pane of the ceiling lit up with a patchwork of  maybe two thirds dark to one third light.<br/><br/>“We’re here to help,” I called out.<br/><br/>My voice echoed down the hall.<br/><br/>“I thought you didn’t sense anyone,” [[Canary]] said.<br/><br/>“I don’t,” I said.<br/><br/>“Then who are you talking to?”<br/><br/>“I don’t think it’s a who,” [[Imp]] said.  “Try ‘what are you talking to?'”<br/><br/>“Shh,” I bid them to be quiet.<br/><br/>I could sense more movements in the air, close… no.  That was a result of Lung’s fire heating the air.<br/><br/>Further down the hall.  If I use enough bugs, try to get a sense of dimensions…<br/><br/>A head, part of a torso.  I could feel the contours of narrow shoulders, the waist.  Female.<br/><br/>She disappeared, or she became less coherent, the movements in the air continuing, but ceasing to suggest a general human shape.  Another appeared behind us, roughly as far away.  No arms, no legs.  Just a broken figure.<br/><br/>“Help me out, [[Tattletale]]?” I asked.<br/><br/>“Help with what?”<br/><br/>“The Custodian.”<br/><br/>“I’m not getting anything usable,” she said.  “Video cameras suck like that.”<br/><br/>“Right,” I said.  Louder, I called out, “We’re here to help the Doctor!  You’ve got two other groups in here, one that’s definitely hostile, angry and destructive, and another I think is worth being suspicious of.”<br/><br/>A movement, a reaction to that last sentence.<br/><br/>I explained, “Maybe they seem friendly, but they’ve got a bad history of backstabbing, making subtle plays for power.  I think the Doctor would back me up on this.  If she’s cooperating with them at all, she’s doing it with knowledge they’ll capitalize on any weakness she shows… and she’s never been weaker than she is right now.”<br/><br/>The figure turned around, briefly fading out of existence.<br/><br/>She reappeared in a way that made me wonder just how long she’d been there, a foot away from me.<br/><br/>“We’re not your enemies,” I said, holding my ground.  “I want to stop [[Scion]], and the best, easiest way to do that is to get things back into working order here.”<br/><br/>For an instant, she was in four places at once.  Then she settled on three.<br/><br/>It struck me that I’d never fared particularly well against stranger-class powers.<br/><br/>“If it helps,” I said, “I’m pissed.  [[Doctor Mother|The Doctor]] called you the Custodian, which probably means you’re the one taking care of this place.  If you’re not completely emotionless, it hurts, that they’re tearing it apart.  If you care about the doctor, I’m betting you’re worried.  Maybe you feel like I do.  You want to retaliate, but something is getting in your way-”<br/><br/>And then she was gone. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/venom-29-4/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.4]]</ref><!--divide this up a bit more--> Was able to contain the escaping [[Case 53]]s and invading [[Irregulars]] when [[Mantellum]] was removed.

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
With [[Teacher]] having moved into the old Cauldron base, the Custodian has started working with him and was re-named as the Overseer.

The Overseer assisted in the project to undermine the heroes of [[Earth Gimel]] through digital means.

She fought [[Breakthrough]] and [[The Heartbroken]] during their attempt to free [[Contessa]].<ref name=15.6>[[Dying 15.6]]</ref> After failing that, she collapsed the section of the complex to prevent their advance.

At the end of the battle she retreated to [[Earth Cheit]] alongside Teacher.<ref name="II16.1 e1" />

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
When reality broke for the second time, the Custodian was transformed into a [[Titan]]. She quickly made her way to [[Titan Fortuna]] to support her side, but was being denied the opportunity to wreak havoc there by [[Dragoncraft]]s.<ref name="II19.6">[[Infrared 19.6]]</ref> She delivered her revenge by destroying [[Colin Wallis|Defiant]]'s [[Uther]].<ref name="II19.z">[[Infrared 19.z]]</ref>

The Custodian Titan protected Titan Fortuna from [[The Simurgh]].<ref name="II20.a">[[Last 20.a]]</ref>
