Argent Energy
The refined Hell energy that powers the UAC's Argent Tower and fuels interdimensional research.
Argent Energy is a substance extracted and refined from raw Hell energy at the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) facility on Mars. The UAC constructed the Argent Tower to extract and refine this energy to solve an energy crisis on Earth. Argent energy was discovered to have properties that defied the UAC's understanding of physics, leading the UAC to begin occult research into it and into Hell. The energy deteriorates the physical and mental health of the facility's staff.

Lore & Background
The Union Aerospace Corporation operates a facility on Mars in 2149 to exploit an energy seeping from Hell, an alternate dimension populated by hostile lifeforms known as demons. To solve an energy crisis on Earth, the UAC constructed the Argent Tower to extract and refine raw Hell energy into Argent energy. After discovering that Argent energy had properties that defied their understanding of physics, the UAC began occult research into Argent energy and Hell, and the demons, who its staff began to worship and cybernetically modify. The facility is run by Samuel Hayden, a UAC scientist who transferred his consciousness to an android body after being afflicted with terminal brain cancer during the construction of the Argent Tower. The Helix Stone is an artifact used to study and harness Argent energy, housed in Olivia Pierce's office in the Lazarus Labs.
Reader's Guide
Argent Energy is extracted from raw Hell energy and refined using the Argent Tower on Mars. It serves as a power source for the UAC's facility and is the subject of occult research. Key infrastructure for its refinement includes the Argent Tower and the Helix Stone, an artifact used to study and harness the energy. The Argent accumulator is a device capable of opening explosive rifts into Hell. The Crucible is a magical blade used to destroy the portal's power source in the Well. Samuel Hayden seeks to continue research into Argent energy after the invasion is stopped.
