Other Appearances
Compassion and her other iterations continue to appear in the Faction Paradox series of novels and audios. In the audios, she uses the alias of Mary Culver and is voiced by Jackie Skarvellis. In the Faction Paradox novel Warring States by Mags L Halliday, Compassion appears in the guise of Kuan Yin, the boddhisatva of compassion or "Goddess of Mercy" in Buddhist and Taoist lore.
In the Faction Paradox novel Of the City of the Saved... by Philip Purser-Hallard, Compassion established an afterlife known as The City of the Saved for all humans and human-descended sentient beings. The original Laura Tobin appears there as well, as does Compassion's son, the living time ship Antipathy.
In the first Faction Paradox book, The Book of the War, the film Mulin: The Ghost Kingdom is a fictionalised version of the events of the audios, relocated to a Japanese village. Compassion is represented by the sorceress Awaremi (Japanese for "compassion").
