Old City Sanctuary



The Sanctuary was the headquarters of the Sanctuary Network, located in Vancouver, British Columbia and run by Dr. Helen Magnus herself. It was a huge complex built in a neogothic architectural style. It housed a number of comfortable guest rooms as well as individual cells for the more dangerous of its inhabitants. Its large structure, encompassing a chapel along with underground catacombs, allows for a large number of guest rooms along with specialised habitats for certain patients. The Sanctuary also houses an extensive medical wing and morgue. There are many levels within the Sanctuary, with certain levels being used for the residents which require a greater amount of security - for example the SHU. Protecting the Sanctuary is an electromagnetic shield, something which prevents teleporters from accessing the Sanctuary or teleporting within it whilst it is active. The Sanctuary features a rather antequated elevator system (from the 1950's), high security (and hard to penetrate) interior doors, a large security system (including perimeter sensors and an auto-destruct) and the building's original room to room intercom system. The areas within the Sanctuary which are most used are Helen's office, the library, the main floor and the medical wing.

History
Helen Magnus founded the Sanctuary some time after becoming friends with Typhuss James Halliwell in 2350, to serve as her main base of operations, while Gregory Magnus was left in charge of the original Sanctuary in London. For the next decades, the Sanctuary housed many Abnormal inhabitants and staffers, and served as a refuge from the dangers of Vancouver, British Columbia and the rest of hostile world.

Alternate reality
In an alternate reality visited by Typhuss James Kira, Typhuss and Helen Magnus were lovers until his death in 2386 when the Vancouver, British Columbia branch was invaded by agents of the Abnormal Insurgency, led by Caleb. Helen Magnus was able to defeat them, but also triggered the self-destruction of the facility in order to go into hiding at the new Underground Sanctuary. The Vancouver, British Columbia facility was completely destroyed by a number of huge explosions. Its fiery end could be observed even from skyscrapers on the other side of the city. Helen's lover Typhuss James Halliwell was killed by Caleb during the fighting in the main lab and Helen killed Caleb. Typhuss died in Helen's arms.
