Episode 55: The Dynasty
ENIGMA origins. Graves history.
Abstract
The Keepers shared what they knew about ENIGMA's origins, giving history to the man the audience had been watching since the Asterion crisis. The Graves family's discovery in the mines during the Thirty Years' War, the centuries of accumulated knowledge, and the betrayal by one of their own elders that gave ENIGMA the information to become truly dangerous. ENIGMA was not a terrorist organization. It was a 350-year-old weapons dynasty.

Every previous ENIGMA appearance was recontextualized. Viceroy was the tenth generation of something that started in the 1640s. The audience went from knowing what he did to understanding why he believed he had to do it.
