Raife Highmore
Unbeknownst to you until Book 1, Chapter 16, Elise has been working with Raife Highmore. She was the one responsible for weakening the wards on the mirrors to allow Shade to enter Penderghast and attack you, and knowing that Beckett would lower them completely in his effort to practice in the Mirror Dimension, it would allow stronger monsters to appear. In Book 1, Chapter 16, she abducts Zeph in front of you and your friends, knowing you will come for him even though you know it is a trap. In Book 1, Chapter 17, she argues with Raife to fulfill his end of the bargain, but he kills her. With her dying breath in Book 1, Chapter 18, she can share her memories with you if you choose to understand the reasons behind her actions. Although she was working with him, Raife had kidnapped a young girl (who you assume is her daughter) in exchange for Atlas and you.

Gemma
In Book 2, former Dean Waithe tells you that she adopted Gemma over a decade ago.
