Serika Swiftmaker was a test subject of Dr. Talmage in the secret facility known as Wornspire. She was the only "carrier" to escape during the Seen-and-See Cult's massacre. She is the mother of Dreya Helvidge, one of the main protagonists of Dawn of the Last Bullet.
Bio
Serika was born in BV 2 (EE 11,320) and raised in a small village called Vornwall. She is the only child of a candle maker named Borin Swiftmaker and his wife Tella. Shortly following the Curella epidemic she discovered she had become impregnated by her boyfriend, Markem. She was soon after taken by the Clavics to a secret medical facility called Wornspire. She was told that Markem, being that he was also able to reproduce, would also be taken there, but she is unsure if that ever happened.
After several months at the facility, she became the lone survivor besides daector Talmage of a massacre by the Seen-and-See Cult; they managed to escape to Camp Drystone, where Talmage placed her in the care of the Outriders. During her journey with Edulon Dane, she is once again taken captive by Crimson slavers. On the journey to Halfshaer she meets young Venicus Mor, who helps her escape again. She finds her way to a remote mysterious village in the Atlica Mountains called Overvale, having been rescued by two child twins from the korix, a dangerous creature that lives deep within the caverns. She gave birth to a healthy daughter, Dreya, dying shortly afterwards.
To account for the baby's sudden appearance in the isolated village, Master Ald employs the twins Haley and Gerrodine Marswan to expand upon a prior ruse, where Serika becomes the only daughter of the fictional Mister Helvidge. This actually has a galvanizing effect on the tale, in that there is now a body to offer as proof. A ceremony is held for Serika, and she is interred within the Overvale Barrows.
