Aurora Silver

''The process of purification cannot be cushioned. It will be painful; it will be ugly; you will wish and wish for something softer.''

Aurora Silver is played by Meg Dixon. She is a primary antagonist of the later seasons of Mabel. Please be warned that this page discusses abuse and suicide.

Season Four
Aurora was introduced under the words of her workers, The Unknown Voices, who were attempting to record the King's voice. Brandon refers to her as a 'boogeyman', and Jonathan tells a story about being recruited into the cult, Aurora eventually killing his bully and saving his life. He stresses that Aurora Silver made the murder disappear and that "no rules apply to her."

We eventually learn that Aurora Silver was an authority figure to Mabel Martin during her time at El Segundo Academy. She promised her that the "process of purification" that she was going to put Mabel through would not be easy.

Her overall goal seems to be capturing the King, as is said in The King Speaks: "You have fought, and slaughtered, and worried, and scrabbled, and campaigned, and lied, and eaten bitter meals, only to find me. To catalogue me in your book... Would it not be the end of you, Aurora Silver, for me to say: you will never find me, you will never catch me, there will be no trace of me left for you to hold?" She inflicted the King onto her subjects, including Mabel (Subject 7825) and Ekaterina Roskova (Subject 6163). It resulted in pain or death for all of them; when The House gives Mabel's subject tape recordings back to her, Mabel panics immediately.

While the girls attempt to take down the King, Jonathan accidently loses the recording of the King's voice they managed to get. In retribution, Aurora Silver sends Brandon down to the Hill and (presumably) tells him to shoot himself in front of Anna and Mabel after saying "I'm going into the ground for you." This results in Mabel being poisoned during most of season six.

Season Five
During Infinity Mirror, Aurora Silver is a background villain. Tressa Davies, the season's protagonist, is a former cultist, inducted in elementary school at Lang Primary Conservatory for the Disabled. Aurora Silver-- under the alias of Lara Ouvriers (literally an anagram of Aurora Silver), the school's principal-- eventually killed a boy called The Mourning Dove in front of Tressa, causing the girl a severe amount of trauma. After admitting to her complacency in the cult, Tressa reverses time in order to save the Dove's life.

Season Six
Season six is what reveals Mabel's position as a former subject. Through the season, we hear her on several subject tapes. It is also revealed during this season that the torture she inflicted on Ekaterina Roskova led to her amnesia and descent to the Hill to become Aconite after accidentally summoning a god during a cult torture session.

Season Seven
Aurora is the first voice we hear in season seven after Mabel's voicemail, speaking to a presumed cultist named Violette. She has recordings of the King that Jonathan found, and believes them to be a message. We also hear that she is becoming "erratic" and making mistakes during Jonathan's contingency plan monologue where he calls her a kind of political extremist and betrays his loyalty to her. We also hear about the boarding school she presumably ran burning down when Janet brings up What Happened At El Segundo.
