Biography[]
Aniela Arcane was the daughter of Anaïs and Josip Arcane and the younger sister of Anton Arcane. During World War I, Anaïs took her children away from their beleagured village and sought shelter with Aniela's distant cousin, Hans von Hammer, the notorious "Hammer of Hell" of the German skies. As children, the Arcane siblings were quite close, except for Anton, whom he sexually abuses her as she grown older. When Aniela learned of her brother's grotesque scientific experiments, she turned against him.
