Thérèse 'Étincelle' Gauthier “The Fearless High-Voltage Engineer of the Studio Sets”
As Chief Electrician, Gauthier was responsible for keeping the lights running and the experimental sci-fi props throwing massive sparks. Operating in an era with minimal electrical safety regulations, she successfully wired entire underground sets using repurposed mining cables. Her ability to short-circuit specific panels on cue made her indispensable for dramatic action climaxes.
How She Was Discovered
Discovered while working as a freelance electrical technician who successfully rewired the Val-d'Or municipal power grid during a mid-winter blizzard.
