Šikkû of Babylon is a vampire born in ancient Babylon. Sired by Lucy Ann, she has dedicated her life to the pursuit of knowledge.[1]
Personality
Šikkû is considered to be a very wise vampire. She is generally kind, but has grown reclusive and has little interest in matters outside her studies. She tends to ignore people when she is focused on something.
Powers
An ancient and powerful vampire, she has lived long enough to walk in the sun without being burned.
More notable, however, is the vast amount of knowledge she has obtained from thousands of years of study. Lucy Ann considers her to be the most knowledgeable being in the world besides omniscient demons.
History
A servantwoman in Babylonian Uruk, Šikkû rescued Lucy Ann from captivity and fled with her. They traveled together for a few years, posing as mother and daughter. Lucy Ann was at first reluctant to make Šikkû a vampire despite her frequent requests, but gave in when she was dying of dysentery.
After her turning, Šikkû began learning everything she could. She studied literature and mathematical theorems, as well as a vast range of physical skills from metalworking to luteplaying to 3D printing. She traveled widely at first, but gradually became more reclusive, especially after the invention of the internet and the Transcendence removed most of her reasons for needing to stay on the move.
Her and Lucy Ann crossed paths many times over the ages. She once hid Lucy Ann from the Macedonian armies. During the events of "Return, to the Scene of the Crime", Lucy Ann comes to stay with her.
She currently resides in Samawah, Iraq, a city close to the ruins of Uruk.
