Agent RAVEN

Charley's birthmother. A former archaeology student at UCLA, RAVEN’s real name Rose Nichols. SANDMAN recruited her following a minor ontological incident involving Anasazi remains. Thereafter, she drifted away from field archaeology (though she maintained the profession as a cover) and into real SANDMAN commando/undercover work. She disappeared for about four months in 1965 while infiltrating a roving group of UFO cultists that called themselves the "Solarans" under the cover identity of a anthropologist named “Andrea.” When she reestablished contact with SANDMAN in October 1965, she was three months pregnant. Since giving birth to Charley, she has been assigned to THROWAWAY.

Charley and Mitch briefly — tantalizingly briefly — communed with RAVEN while dreaming during URIEL’s trip to Mount Shasta. She seemed highly confused by the interaction, and tormented by her past. From what they were able to discern from their dream-interactions, URIEL believed RAVEN is located somewhere in Wyoming.

At the culmination of Operation ALLOCHTHON, RAVEN was released to the custody of Operation URIEL from her lengthy “rehabilitative” stay at THROWAWAY, a mysterious SANDMAN facility in Wyoming. She re-established her relationship with her daughter Charley (“Lily”) and left the Bay Area with her after the winter solstice, 1973. Rose and Lily’s current whereabouts are unknown.
