"Ah, ﬁnally someone who's alive! My name is Adeline  Svensson. I'm a journalist. While on vacation in Italy, I  accidentally learned about the mysterious "last" painting  by Giovanni di Fiori. I could practically smell success! I  found a lost sketch of the masterpiece: an Italian Patio in  which the people had been erased from it. And when I  found this picturesque place near Naples, hoping to ﬁnd a  clue, fog enveloped me and... I ended up here. Wherever  "here" is."

The player then welcomes her to the City and the case begins.

Alex
When you reach level 10 and unlock the Archaeological Expedition mini-game, players can meet Alex.

"According to Spirit legend; a powerful relic, able to grant any wish, exists in City's dungeons. It's a Magic flue and the way to it will only be shown by five mythical creatures, whose voices are sealed in it. Spirits believe that if the flue doesn't get a new master before midnight, it will disappear for hundreds of years again! The mythical creatures are like coordinates for the Magic flute. If we gather them together, we'll learn the artifacts location. Then I can make my dearest wish. Have you heard about the abandoned mine? People left it after discovering a Gryphon cave inside. I'm sure this is the place we need to go."
