Dr. Calanthe Lambton

Dr. Calanthe Lambton is a character from Project Infinity. She is Gun Lambton's aunt.

Becoming a Scientist and Origins of Project Infinity
Calanthe and Apolline are the daughters of Dr. Hugh Lambton - a deceased deep space explorer. Calanthe recalls her memories of him with immense fondness claiming "he was so good to her" and was "the only person who ever understood her."

From the time she was very young, Calanthe studied by his side and was taught everything he knew. Hugh was fascinated by the stars. His theories were so abstract that he became an outcast within the scientific community. However, he continued his studies and embarked on his most questionable project to date. During his final flight into deep space, he positioned his ship on the outer brim of a supernova and trapped some stardust in an airtight compartment. After freezing and then raising its temperature, he found it behaved as a liquid and was no something more than what is typically found in the interstellar medium. It was something entirely new which he called Infinity.

Although Hugh managed to create a large supply of Infinity, he died shortly after due to radiation poisoning. On his death bed, he asked Calanthe to continue his work and find the answers he couldn't. From that day on, Calanthe committed herself to honoring his life by advancing Project Infinity. She teamed up with a small group of scientists and worked for the Kingdom of Earth's Abnormal Science Department. Using Infinity, they conducted experiments on plants, animals, and themselves.

Laboratory Accident and Reported Death
In the year 2240, a major explosion occurred at Calanthe's laboratory. As Harrison Acland recalls, "when the flames were finally put out, there was nothing left." Calanthe and her team were assumed dead. However, this is proven false when Calanthe appears at Princess Annabelle's execution in episode 9. She confronts Val Winthrop and tells him her project is well underway.

Plans for Gun
In episode 12, Gun is approached by Nyx - one of Calanthe's helpers - at the Rebels' island base in the South Pacific. She takes him to a small island nearby and reveals Calanthe's secret laboratory. During this reunion with his aunt, Gun is told all about his grandfather and his grand project she continued called Project Infinity. The project involves using stardust to enhance the human body and accessing what Calanthe calls "God's dimension."

Although it is not revealed why, Calanthe believes Gun could be the key to everything and wishes for him to take part in the project. After he is hastily removed from her laboratory by his comrades, Calanthe says she is a very patient woman and that this must be done carefully.
