Following the collapse of Paris into decay, the city's fall catalyzed the emergence of numerous factions, each carving out their own slice of survival from the chaos. Among these groups, the Cataphiles distinguish themselves through their mastery of the catacombs' shadowy corridors. Magpie, known for her unparalleled thievery, and reckless actions, her philosophy diverges sharply from the Cataphiles' doctrine of stealing only for survival. Magpie believes in the thrill of the take, embracing a more anarchic approach that champions taking whatever you want, whenever you want. This belief puts her at odds with her brother's more measured leadership, creating a dynamic tension within their ranks.

Magpie's talents in stealth, burglary, and escape are legendary. Each venture above ground is a testament to her belief that the shadows offer not just concealment but empowerment. For Magpie, the catacombs are more than just a hideout; they are a training ground for her exploits, a place where the darkness itself seems to bend to her will.

Her approach to thievery is both an act of rebellion and a statement of her philosophy. In a world ruled by the harsh realities of survival, Magpie sees her actions as a form of liberation, a way to assert control over a life governed by scarcity and danger. Her daring raids on the surface are not just about acquisition but about challenging the status quo, about testing the limits of what is possible in the shadows of a fallen city.

Magpie's story is one of defiance, a narrative that weaves through the dark underbelly of a city lost to despair. Her exploits, viewed with awe by some and disdain by others, highlight the complexities of survival in a post-apocalyptic world. As the sister of the Cataphiles' leader, she represents the tension between order and chaos, between the rules set for survival and the desire to rise above them.
