Angeldust
This page is about Strassman and Ava’s daughter. For the live-show character sometimes called the rotten angel, see Angeldust. Whether these characters are related is unconfirmed.
Angel is the daughter of Dr. Karl Strassman and Ava, born in 2015 while the two were on the run from Skys and the Cult of Mantra. She was taken by Arc/Hive as a child.
Strassman and Ava fled October Palace in 2015, with Ava heavily pregnant. They did not get far before labour started, and Strassman, a scientist rather than a midwife, delivered the baby himself with the help of Dallus Lauren. The birth killed Ava. With her dying breath, she made Strassman promise to name their daughter Angel.
According to Strassman’s journals (as told by Dr. Lee MD, these do not exist as files currently), Ava had sworn that an angel visited her during the pregnancy. She was absolutely convinced the baby was destined to save the world.
When Medea re-established contact with Arc/Hive, she told them Angel had powers conventional science could not explain. This information, uncovered by Feya and reported to Skys, further pushed the cult towards its collapse.
During the October Massacre, Operation Trinity extracted the three men behind Mantra for Arc/Hive. Victor Carmine, who had been after the gifted kids research, also had Angel and several other gifted children taken. Strassman was never told that Arc/Hive had taken her, and believes she went missing according to Dallus’ Jan 2021 diary.
