Background

Please also read Project Overview and Audition Rules

Forged as one entity in the Beginning and later split by the Veil, Iskiel and Oskiel exist as two fractured halves of what once was whole.

Iskiel is a Keeper of Reflections, part of One Mother’s Order. Their role is to train and mentor Scribes until they can ascend. In Episode 2, Iskiel becomes Allinor’s mentor, guiding her through the Reflection process and what it means to carry Second Sight.

A Scribe is gifted Second Sight, which means they can enter Reflections. Reflections are emotional flashbacks of other people’s lives, but it’s not just watching. Scribes feel what the host feels, grief, panic, fear, every ugly emotion people pretend they don’t have. The Scribe’s purpose is to record the actions of what happened, and analyse the emotions behind it, writing it all down in a diary that would absolutely get you blocked in any normal world.

A Keeper of Reflections makes sure a Scribe can withstand that. Iskiel teaches control, focus, and endurance. How to stay themselves while carrying someone else’s emotional weight. How to walk back out of a Reflection with their mind intact.

Iskiel is an ancient being, wise, calm, and frighteningly perceptive. Great at reading people, sensing aura, and picking up on what someone is feeling even when they’re trying to hide it. 

Both Iskiel and Oskiel share that ability, and their gothic character design is inspired by the movie The Crow (1994), their nature is the opposite of their appearance. They are soft, patient, and gentle, steady presences who guide Scribes through Reflections.

Fun Fact: Iskiel has a fondness for jam. Enough of a fondness that they’ve been caught stealing a staff member’s jam, denied it completely, and created low-level office beef that will never be resolved.
