Junia was a leader of the Nephilim Order, a tribe of giants, who was worshipped by the Cult of Mithras as one of three Magnopotamoi in the years following the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Biography[]
In the 1st century AD, Junia arrived in Imperial Rome with two others of her kind aboard a boat. She was leader of the Nephilim Order,[1] a tribe of giants who sought to atone for their ancestors' involvement in the Great Flood some tens of thousands of years before the time of Jesus Christ. The Nephilim met with Saint Peter and formed a secret alliance with the Vatican to protect the world from mankind meddling with the seventeen stones connected to the prehistoric cataclysm.[2]
Ten inscriptions hidden around the Vatican by the 16th century depicted Junia as a towering golden figure entrusted with a sword by the Papacy who went forth protecting smaller individuals while helping them secure a relic, breaking her blade in the process of defending them from a horn-headed entity with a pointed tail, only to eventually be overwhelmed and killed by more of the malevolent beings though she brought them down with her in the end.[2]
After her demise, Junia was entombed in a vast subterranean chamber beneath the Italian capital where a large statue depicting her with angel wings served as a secret tribute to her memory. By 1558, Pope Paul IV had taken an interest in the trio of giants and began researching Junia and her compatriots at a hidden study within Villa Pia but death claimed him soon after, leaving behind only a preliminary collection of relics and paperwork.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Junia is a 1st century AD figure in the Christian Bible. Later canonized as a saint, she is also known, albeit not without controversy, as a female apostle of Jesus Christ. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle leaves it ambiguous on whether or not the game's Junia and the Biblical figure are the same person or contemporaries.
"The Order of Giants" is vague on when the Nephilim Junia passed away beyond a broad dating of between the 1st and 16th centuries AD.[1] The base game indicates that Augur the Giant is in a position of authority over the Nephilim Order by the time of his own death during the First Crusade but it's unclear if he succeeded Junia as leader or if he held a subordinate position in relation to her.[2]
