Gordianus the Finder's housekeeper and slave. Bethesda is from Alexandria in Egypt. She and Gordianus are lovers. Bethesda was bought by Gordianus when she was just a girl. The supposition is that Gordianus is the only master Bethesda has ever had. Bethesda has a dark complexion and long, dark hair. She is a beautiful, sensual woman with a fiery temperament. From their interactions, it is clear that Bethesda loves Gordianus very much. Somewhat petulant and slightly sarcastic, Bethesda is fiercely loyal to Gordianus. And although she is a slave, Bethesda has no qualms about serving Gordianus and caring for his home and comfort.
