Description
The veiled woman is a key character in the story of Enderal that appears at several occasions, most notably in the beginning and the end of the game. She appears as a manifestation of eventualities as she often speaks of different outcomes and that "the first beat of a wing must happen".
Although described by The Black Guardian as someone without feelings or a mind of her own, she has expressed emotion and desire more than one time. During the beginning of the game, she expresses regret for having to hurt the main character, and later in the game she states her discomfort with people seeing her as a force of destruction, and wishes to change the main characters view of her, thus showing a will of her own. When asked if she can see the other branches of reality, she gives you a "yes" but further says that it isn't much of a feat considering what she is, meaning she might be unable to change whatever she sees.
It could be that the Emmisaries are created by the Veiled Woman, as she is the one speaking to you as you are revived "Breathe". Which also means she is the cause of the endless cycle. When speaking with the High Ones on the tropical island, they tell you that you aren't special, but only was in the wrong place in the wrong time, but that you make their task easier, likely implying that they didn't make you an Emmisary, but rather just a coincidence, something the Veiled woman is acting on by duty, hinted by when she tells the player that her actions are necessary for the eventualities to fall in place when encountering her in the ship. The Black Guardian also tells the player that the beginning of the cycle was a very logical outcome. However, her recent actions based on her own will was much to The Black Guardians surprise, as he has observed her for many cycles but never seen her show any emotion or free will, and her actions led to changing or potentially breaking the cycles.
It is a possibility that the aftermath of Nehrim, killing the messenger of fate(sarantha) and destroying the book of predestination led to either the Prophet or the Veiled Woman having their own will thus leading to the Cycles taking an unexpected turn.
She also describes the Emmisaries and High Ones as merely pawns in a game, and herself being something much above that.
There will be a sidequest in the upcoming DLC "Forgotten memories" shedding some light on the veiled womans background.
