Because of Elizabeth's presence, random Tears began appearing all over Columbia. The Lutece twins used their Device for further study, and the effects on Robert's body from trans-dimensional traveling was a source for new research and theories. The device had closed on her pinky finger, separating her body between two different realities, spreading her presence across all dimensions, and giving her the same ability as the device. When Booker attempted to retrieve Anna, the device turned off and the Tear closed between Booker and Anna, severing her right little finger in the process.Īnna was brought into Columbia and renamed Elizabeth. They were entering the Tear back into Columbia, with Rosalind on the other side. Comstock sent Robert to take Anna, but Booker tracked them down to an alley where a Tear was opening for Robert, Comstock, and Anna to enter. In doing so, he had a daughter afterward named Anna.

Comstock's alternate self, in a pivotal event, never accepted a baptism after Wounded Knee and remained Booker DeWitt. Rosalind proposed that they simply find an alternate version of Comstock in another dimension to see if he has a child there. However, constant exposure to the device aged him and dissipated his traits and genetics, making him sterile.Īfter viewing that Columbia would fall without an heir, Comstock sought Rosalind's assistance in resolving the matter. By doing so, he expanded his title of "Prophet" in Columbia as its leader. This also allowed Comstock to look forward in possible time-space. It was able to properly open portals to any dimension of her choosing. This led Rosalind to create the Lutece Device in 1893.

By turning on and off the Lutece Fields, they managed to communicate via Morse Code. The person observing it was no other than an alternate, male version of herself, Robert Lutece. Rosalind continued her research on quantum atoms and discovered that the same atom was being observed and manipulated from another dimension. The city was named Columbia, and Rosalind was hailed as its ultimate inventor. She would give it the ability to fly in the clouds by using her Lutece Field. Rosalind agreed with Comstock's plan and joined him to help create his city. Rosalind was later met by Zachary Hale Comstock, a religious figure, who wished to create a city that would be suspended in the sky and built to uphold American and Christian ideals. Eventually, she achieved this feat and labeled it the Lutece Field, while other quantum physicists referred to it as "quantum levitation", a term Rosalind did not believe befitting her achievement. In the early 1890s, quantum physicist Rosalind Lutece began studying the fall of quantum atoms and theorized she could keep them suspended indefinitely.
