Elena Peeters

The Strength of Character

Elena Peeters stands as the central figure and human pillar of the Altruisme saga.

Born without her right forearm, she has always refused to be defined by her disability. From a young age, she turned to sports and martial arts to push her limits. It is this determination and her natural empathy that led her, somewhat by chance, to join Stareyes.

The first recruit of the augmentic prosthetics program, she became the “standard-bearer” of the company. She learned to master a sophisticated mechanical prosthesis and an augmentic exoskeleton, all controlled in symbiosis with the AI Karl through control glasses.

A Solar Aura

Since joining the augmentic prosthetics project, Elena has changed. She doesn’t just occupy space — she transforms it. Her presence is an event in itself, like sunlight breaking through a stormy sky.

She possesses a unique capacity for empathy and sympathy, along with natural leadership, without ever thinking she knows everything or believing herself omnipotent. She doubts.

Beyond her role as a test subject, she has become the heart and brain of the elite Broken Bones unit, guiding her companions with wisdom and strength of character that inspire respect.

Elena Peeters is the ethical compass of the Altruisme saga. A symbol of a humanity that refuses to be defined by its weaknesses, she proves that the strength of the spirit, combined with conscious technology, can redefine humanity’s destiny.
