Alexandria Hypatia.
Dr. Alexandria Hypatia is a character in Dishonored 2. She is a member of the Addermire Institute in Karnaca and the inventor of the Addermire Solution.[1]
Dishonored 2
Upon reaching the institute, Corvo/Emily first encounters Hypatia doing her work, disoriented and exhibiting strange behavior by expressing that someone's calling her. She asks to be left alone, which allows for closer inspection of the situation. To surprise, after a conversation with her assistant, Vasco, it is revealed that the Crown Killer is a part of her, coming to light without her will or awareness. This prompts the Crown Killer to spawn, who kills her assistant.
Afterwards, the Crown Killer can either be killed right away, or Corvo/Emily can follow Vasco's advice and develop a counter-serum for Hypatia's condition by finding and following the instructions for his formula. If Hypatia is spared and her condition cured, she is invited onboard the Dreadful Wale to recuperate after finishing the mission, and will remain there for some time. Before she leaves later on, she records an audiograph, stating that her mind has cleared and how she can now freely focus on helping those in need, lastly sending her utmost thanks for helping her.
