===Silently Forged Servant===
''Deceased Moonsilver Alchemical Predecessor of Swiftly Flowing Silver''

When Autochthon's last hope came to Creation, the one who took the first step into this alien world was their reconnaissance officer, a glorious and decorated explorer of the Reaches named Silently Forged Servant.  He was a bold swashbuckler who wielded a Moonsilver Gyrochakram called ''Whispering Spark'' that contained its own machine intelligence.  Servant was a courageous and moral comrade and always sought to support his teammates in their divine mission.

When the mission changed and the Circle chose to sever the tie to Autochthonia and spare Creation, Servant voiced his opposition.  He sought to convince his companions to see logic... but upon finding himself outvoted, ultimately supported the Circle.  The Moonsilver became withdrawn - disappearing for months at a time on missions he would not discuss, or retreating to his rooms.  He began to confide in Diamond that he was having dark dreams, that every time he slept he saw visions of apocalypse -- of the death of the entirety of Autochthonia on the end of his blade.  Diamond could see that his friend was struggling....

... and then the Circle discovered Servant attempting to force open the seal closing the connection between Creation and Autochthonia.  Blood stained his arms, two technicians laying dead at his feet as he worked the mechanisms, tracing runes of light in the air.  The Circle-faced him, wild light glowing in his silver eyes.  He struck out at them, blades flying, essence-blazing, his wounds not meant to incapacitate or wound but to kill.  The Circle had no choice.  In the end, it was Diamond who struck the killing blow, shattering the Moonsilver's soulgem.

It was a dark day.  The first Alchemical Exalt to die in Creation in over seven thousand years.

The Circle was never able to find the ''Whispering Spark''; the artifact seems to simply have disappeared.
