* MistakenForMurderer: [[spoiler: While kept as a ward of the Ministry of Health a young Mechanika found Deacon "Grin" Grindlethorne keeping dismembered body parts of deformed girls who had supposedly been "cured" preserved in jars. This, combined with the many abuses she had already suffered in the Ministry, caused Mechanika to kill him in a violent rage. Years later, she would learn that Deacon Grin was ultimately a compassionate (if still unsettling) doctor. The worst abuses were committed by others without his knowledge, and the killings were at the hands of a young Katherine de Winter, a budding psychopath.]]
