== History ==
=== [[Firefight]] ===
When the [[Reckoners]] discover that Regalia had been sending Epics such as [[Mitosis (Epic)|Mitosis]] and [[Sourcefield]] to Newcago to engage with the team, they set their sights on Babilar to take down Abigail.{{book ref|Firefight|6}} She is served by the High Epics [[Newton]] and [[Obliteration]] in Babilar. Throughout the book, the Reckoners realize that she has some kind of connection to [[Prof]] and a plan involving their leader. Prof informs [[David Charleston]] that he had previously been a part of a team of Epics, including Abigail, that attempted to do good.{{book ref|Firefight|39}} She later reveals that she has a connection with the Epic, [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]], and tries to turn David into an Epic, but David rejects the influence of Calamity and seemingly fails to turn into an Epic. Later it is revealed that she planned to corrupt Prof so she could succeed her as it turns out that Regalia is actually terminally ill with cancer and is treated by a doctor who also takes care of [[Dawnslight]].{{book ref|Firefight|49}} The Reckoners find her and kill her before she she could succumb her disease. Although dead in the next book, her influence still remains as she is responsible for Prof's corruption and the creation of Epic-based technologies made from Obliteration's DNA.{{book ref|Calamity|34}}
