Biography
Hester works in the Paragon institute, which specialises in psychics and their talents and is also the secret lover of Peter Sandza.

She helps him in his quest to find his son Robin and for that purpose she establishes contact with Gillian, when she arrives there and finds out she has contact with him. At the first opportunity she tells her everything and about the intentions of Childress and his secret organisation to kidnap her like Robin and Gillian believes her because of the knowledge she already has gained regarding this matter through her psychic contact with Robin.

Gillian agrees to flee from the institute according to a mutual plan initially elaborated by Peter so that she can flee with Robin´s father and by doing that protect her mother. Next day Hester and Gillian carry it out.

She later dies outside of the institute in a car accident inadvertently caused by Peter during that escape while helping her, while she also was helping Gillian there. Her death haunts Peter after that because he loved her very much.
