* [[Laura Thompson]] is or was the daughter of [[Conn Thompson]] and [[Cristina Thompson]]. From the various stories it is assumed that Laura died at some point in the past, which turned Cristina into something of a monster which resulted in the events of the engagement in [[The Ink]] on [[Earth 44]], and the creation of [[The Black-eyed Army]]. How Laura actually died, or whether she actually died remains unknown, however it is notable that [[Alek]] has a sister also called Laura. One theory at this point is that [[Alek]], along with his brother and sister may be the children of a parallel version of [[Conn Thompson]] and [[Cristina Thompson]], where their lives followed very different decision paths. There are a few other theories regarding [[Laura Thompson]], one notable one being that she was the lost child in the back paths found by [[Noah Fulmer]]'s duplicate while programmed with his hunter personality. Whether or not Laura is truly dead or alive remains to be seen, various versions of her have been encountered in both states.
=== Who reprogrammed [[Noah Fulmer]]'s duplicate? What for? ===
* Current theories are that the duplicate of Noah was reprogrammed by either [[The Black-eyed Army]] or a similarly aligned faction. The party responsible for the shared psychic interrogation of both of the Noahs and a number of others ([[Roger]] and [[Jay]]) also used drugs, suggesting a less supernatural influence was at work. Their rapid departure would also match the actions of [[The Black-eyed Army]], who would likely have moved using the [[Shadow Sphere]]'s portal abilities.
