Character Spotlight: Aletheia From Image's Aletheia, meet Aletheia! Thea for short, or course. I'll let Image set the stage. "Thea's life as an adrenaline junky becomes a Greek Tragedy after mythological gods kill her boyfriend and destroy her town. Bewildered and heartbroken, she fights to avenge his death in a full-throttle confrontation...all while the balance of power between divinity and humanity rests in her making it out alive!"
