Alcen Perie

 is a character in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Background
This woman seems to be absorbed by what she's doing, her blue eyes narrowed in concentration. You realize that she's the nicest-looking person you've seen in a while and feel almost compelled to approach her.

Alcen introduces herself as a Chiurgeon, but in reality, she is the keeper of the House of Empty Time. She was once a child adopted much in the same way, and can describe the mechanisms of the adoption through the House in detail.
