Theresa

Theresa was the previous "King of Sarkaz" of Kazdel, known as a gentle, down-to-earth ruler who wished to end the never-ending cycle of nation's fragmentation and bring peace to the Sarkaz people. She had been cooperating with her brother Theresis and the Sarkaz Royal Court to rebuild the nation after a devastating civil war which had ravaged it; however, over time, Theresis began to lose hope in her vision of reuniting Kazdel without violence, coming to believe that the other Terran nations would only respect them through force.[1][2] Years later, the Royal Court, along with Theresis, went to war with Theresa over their differences in ideals. The incident not only ignited another round of civil conflict, it also forced her into exile.

During her exile, she founded Babel to unite those who still remained loyal to her, with Closure, Kal'tsit, and the Doctor among her loyalists. She also welcomed those of any race to join the organization, leading to discontent among some Sarkaz nationalists. However, with her powers, which allowed her to tap into and manipulate the emotions of others, she was able to pacify anyone, regardless of their loyalty or hostility towards her. At this time, she acted as the caretaker for the organization's members, notably helping to raise the young Amiya. Theresa hoped to guide Amiya's growth and have her become a silver lining to Terra in the future.

Three years ago, in the year 1094, Theresis launched a siege against Babel during the autumn and conducted a "decapitation operation." It was around the time of this operation that the Doctor apparently murdered Theresa for the reason of pushing the Project Originium.[3] However, after the assassins' first attack, when the Doctor arrived, Theresa transferred her Sarkaz King Arts to little Amiya and cleared the Doctor's memories.

Theresa's death made a large impact on various factions. As Babel's successor, Rhodes Island sees Theresa as an important figure and remembers her through one of her quotes about determination.[4] Despite this, many senior members choose not to talk about her or her legacy, wanting to leave the past behind.[5] To the Sarkaz, especially to Patriot, the loss of a kind, merciful King makes them a race without a true leader; they are unaware that Amiya, a simple Cautus girl, is actually her genuine successor (Patriot does come to realize this later.)[6] As for Theresis' side, he retrieved her corpse and seemingly preserved it. Theresis seems to believe that Theresa is able to retrieve her "Crown" (Sarkaz King Arts) from Amiya, revealing that Theresa has somehow been revived,[7] despite his belief that this resurrection was disrespectful to his sister.
