History: Warning!: Spoilers ahead.

In the year 2XXX A.D., cloning is not only possible, it is common and abundant. Technological advancements in the area, research and facilities all mean that any form of cloning is possible - even creating clones of the long-dead. This is where St. Kleio's Academy comes in; it's a boarding school that houses the clones of significant historical figures, and it educates and raises them to mimic, and even outdo, their originals in every way - for research, to see how their works could benefit society, and just generally for human observation and enjoyment.

Elizabeth Tudor was probably created in a lab facility, where she would have stayed until she was stable and old enough to be sent away, and then she would have been shipped off to St Kleio's to begin her studies. She grew up there and became a close friend of Florence Nightingale, also finding friendship in Marie Curie, Napoleon, Freud and Ikkyu. For the next decade or so she would have grown up surrounded by historical clones and buried in information; she had to memorise everything to do with Queen Elizabeth I, from history and dates to personal knowledge (such as languages spoken by the original) and little tidbits of information.

A year before the series takes place, a boy named Shiro Kamiya joins St. Kleio's, despite not being the clone of a famous historical figure; in fact, he's not a clone at all, and he's only attending the school for convenience's sake, because his father begins working there. Despite this, and despite the spite, jealousy and shun he receives from most of his peers for being so different, he is quickly welcomed by Napoleon and Ikkyu, thus joining their small group and becoming friends with Elizabeth.

The school is not as nurturing and caring as it first sounds, though, it turns out. Marie Curie rejects the idea of being a scientist, instead longing to be a musician, and when Dr. Kamiya, Shiro's father, is told, he apparently sends her off to live with a relative and study music - however, that is the last time anyone ever hears from her. It's heavily implied, though not yet quite confirmed, that she was deemed a "failure" and killed so that they could begin anew with a Marie Curie clone. Elizabeth and her friends are unaware of this, but they are quite worried about the absolute loss in contact, even with Shiro's optimistic reassurances.

Everything starts to go downhill after that. The clone of JFK, a graduate from St. Kleio's, is making a speech for the purposes of propaganda when he is suddenly shot in the head - naturally, the younger clones are frightened more than anyone, plagued with the fear of their lives playing out just the same as their originals, just as it appeared to happen with the JFK clone. While many think it is destiny, as Freud finds out, there is another reason - there is a group trying to assassinate all of the clones at St. Kleio's Academy.
