Vertin

Vertin (维尔汀) is the main protagonist of Reverse: 1999 and the character controlled by the player. As a member of the St. Pavlov Foundation, she is currently known as the only person able to withstand "the Storm", having been given the title "Timekeeper" as a result. She wishes to find the truth behind the storm and the Foundation that she grew up in, this being a result of her recalling memories of her mother, whom she was previously unsure if she even existed at all, during her first storm. However when she went to ask the foundation, she was met with the response of "no such person".

Prologue
Prior to the main story, Vertin has been taking pictures of and recording the people she meets before they reverse in time. She accidentallydiscovers that the things inside her suitcase can withstand the storm with her, and slowly experiments with it, yet always failing whenever she tried bringing a person with her. Her last attempt was with Regulus who she thought was the same as her due to her telling of the moon she witnessed during one of her radios, and just as she thought, Regulus is able to successfully bear the storm with her and ends up joining her as an ally.
