An ancient Guardian Architect of the Cairo Continuum House, Clea is estimated to be approximately 4,000 years old—the same age as the stone she wards. Her father was human; her mother was an Emissary from the time before the Withdrawal. Clea has taken in and trained many gifted individuals over the centuries to assist her, as she never married or had children of her own. She never formally adopted the Wardstone title associated with her family’s house. A dear friend and mentor to Elaine, she is closely allied with left-leaning Guardian Architects in Puerto Vallarta, Paris, Mumbai, and Los Angeles.

Clea possesses a radiant, classic elegance, her face framed by voluminous dark brunette hair styled in soft, cascading retro waves that sweep back from her forehead. Her sharp facial features are enhanced by a warm, sun-kissed olive complexion, naturally arched dark eyebrows, and striking dark brown eyes that convey fierce determination balanced by empathy. Her classic makeup includes structured cheekbones, subtle earth-toned eyeshadow, and soft, natural lip tones. Standing tall at 5'10", she has an athletic, statuesque frame, with defined shoulders and lean, powerful musculature. The Orange jewel surrounded in gold she wears around her neck at all times hints to her mythological nature.
