Henriette Meyrin was one of the founders of the Black Armory. She was the mother of Adelaide Meyrin, who later became the Exo Ada-1.

Biography

Henriette hailed from the House of Meyrin, a powerful family during the Golden Age. During that time, she had a daughter named Adelaide, whom she loved with all her heart.

By the late Golden Age, Henriette found herself concerned for her daughter's safety and felt that humanity was lulled to a false sense of security due to the Traveler uplifting them. Thanks to her connections, she became aware of an "anomaly" and believed that its time to help humanity defend itself. With the help of Helga Rasmussen and Yuki Satou, she became one of the three co-founders of the Black Armory.

As their business grew, however, Henriette found herself apprehensive over how things are conducted with the Black Armory. At first, she got into arguments with Helga and Yuki over how the weapons are being distributed, fearing that having those weapons to the masses would be more trouble than its worth. And later on, she argued against Helga over Project Niobe, believing that having Exos mixed with Black Armory's technology was unethical

She felt that it is antithetical to her vision of the Black Armory, to preserve life. However, as the Traveler moved to Earth, she realized that this is bigger than herself and decided to press forward with Project Niobe.

Facing death with dignity

After escaping the Refugee camp from the battle between the Risen, Henriette caught sight of the same Warlord that killed Yuki. Knowing that he and his companions will come for the Obsidian Accelerator, she removed it from Ada-1 and sent her far away from them. When two of the Risen came to kill her, Ada-1 shot them dead and killed their "drones". Henriette ran far inland to distract the warlords.

Knowing that her life is coming to an end, she made a final entry in her journal as a letter addressed to her daughter. Telling her a few things about herself; how she became Ada-1, encouraging her to learn from the founders' successes and missteps, and to continue fulfilling the Black Armory. Her final words in the letter admit how lucky she was able to love her daughter twice.

Not long after, warlords would find Henriette and kill her, ending her life.
