Nocturna story theories?

[PaperLaur]

I know, I know, the story isn't all that important in this game--but I'm curious! Nocturna's apparently getting her own story cutscenes, so she's not another Monk/Dove deal that comes out of nowhere. We already get the opening cutscene. So what do you think her role is in this whole mess with the lute and Octavian?

I heard some people theorize that she WAS the Golden Lute, but I don't think that's possible at this point. The crypt's already crawling with undead, and that was Octavian's doing with the lute, so it already exists at this point. Thoughts?

Well, apparently she's going up against some skeletal witch. Idk man, I see no links to the future characters at all.

-shrug- I just thought that was representative of the DLC and that was one of those electric mages you see in Z5. Maybe there isn't, but it's fun to speculate, isn't it?

Maybe the lute was inadvertently taken away from her people by a certain bard...?

She mentions in the intro she's from a clan. Is she from like, some kind of tribal clan or a clan of modern vampires (ala masquerade) or...?

If this is before Octavian, how long has the crypt had the golden lute in it? I mean, it must be in there (Or who or whatever created must be there in it's stead, since it's the same magic going on). And if she went into the crypt, did she just reach the depths and just leave the lute there? Or did she fall to enemies or some villian at the end of her story? Or did she try to break it and leave to make whatever Aria uses to break it?

But that's unknown for now. The only solid facts we know are that Nocturna is

- From some clan
- Is undead, possibly from a source other than the lute
- Whatever power at work in her venture in the crypt is nearly identical to that of the lute's
- After her story some other characters' stories occur (May or may not include Octavian)
