Myriad

Myriad is a character in Origin Stories introduced in Killerjoy. She is an ally for Gentina Mildren when we first meet her in Romance Minaret, but her real intentions and allegiances are more muddled than they first appear.

Appearance
Myriad is described as having pale, blue skin that is tinted an almost teal color. She is completely bald and is missing ears. She has a perfectly symmetric face otherwise.

Killerjoy
After Exa arrives in Romance Minaret and receives her rank, she meets with Mildren in a garden. Myriad is there and states how she looks forward to working with the hellion before walking away.

After that, Exa continually goes to said garden to meet with Myriad. The idea is to train, but Myriad ignores her for the most part. Until Exa has a "dream" in which she goes to the Whirle. After this, Exa's training truly begins. Myriad spends a lot of time explaining to Exa how the Whirle works and how she can tap into it, affect it, mold it to how she deems fit. She spends a great deal more time causing Exa to question herself, her vow to Mildren, her candidacy, and much else about the world.

When the Matreon is attacked in Xander and Mildren is kidnapped by the lords there, Exa is sent among others to retrieve her. Myriad warns the Haiguard candidate that unless she taps into the Whirle again, she will likely die on her mission.

While Exa is gone, Myriad convinces Mildren's advisory to abandon the Gentina and focus on other issues at hand. She also guides Exa through the Veritas and in many of her fights from Xander onward. She merely sits back and watches as Exa does her dirty work.

When Exa escapes the lords in Swarov by jumping into the Whirle, she tears Mildren's soul from her body, killing the Gentina. In the Whirle, she meets with Myriad who had intended for just that to happen. She even admits to causing the destruction of the Matreon. The two have a confrontation and Myriad tells Exa that the hellion will continue doing as she sees fit. But for now, Exa will have to suffer a bit. When Exa threatens to kill her, Myriad reveals that she's not actually there and disappears.
