Artemis Crimsene is the flamboyant masked troublemaker of CZ Central. Wanted by the constabulary for numerous acts of theft and burglary, she's (and the constabulary is fairly sure she's a woman) the current darling of the broadsheets due to her over-the-top style and against-the-odds capers. Armed with a Fencing Arclave she calls "Crimson Thesis," an eclectic array of Thaumatech devices, and with an uncanny ability to weave her way through the tightest security, to date she has frustrated all attempts to capture her. Although Crimsene has avoided taking on the role of "people's hero," (in her own words she's more of an "entertaining enterpriser"), she has been occasionally known to target and humiliate the more corrupt members of the establishment. Surprisingly she also has a few fans among the Constabulary, her most common opponents, as she studiously avoids inflicting serious harm on (most of) them during their occasional clashes. The exception are those Jibrilite officers known to be particularly odious, to whom she is not averse to dealing out a sound thrashing. Nevertheless, the very large bounty on her head means the Constabulary will enthusiastically respond to any sightings of the Crimson Caperer.
The true identity of Artemis Crimsene is a matter of some speculation, with popular candidates being a rogue Librarian, Trinity (or possibly Trias or Troi) Samelrand, the General Staff's Liaison, a Zenith agent, and even the Lord General Marianne.
