Dunno. Though it's cool.

Now, a thought has occurred to me for Sarah's backstory now; feel free to let me know if you like it or not. Sarah's from this world, from this time. She had, knowingly or not, joined an evil organization, counter to the Warehouse (whether the Warehouse is aware of this organization or not is something we can discuss later). Unlike the Warehouse, which stores all artifacts for people's safety, this Organization collects deadly artifacts to use for its own nefarious purposes, ranging from assassination to plague causing to who-knows-what. It has its own agents and leadership, and it is aware of the Warehouse's existence and keeps its distance (obviously, since they know that if they are discovered, they will be shut down).

Sarah joined this organization, where she was being taught in the ways of using and handling these dangerous artifacts (which explains why she knows how to handle some of them - they wouldn't have neutralizer, but use different methods in a similar way to how Leena would adjust artifacts to keep them tamer). However, she became scared of what this was leading to. She heard rumors about a separate place which also stored artifacts, a rival institution of some sort. She began keeping a few artifacts on the side (mixing in her tale of searching for objects she lost) to try and help her escape, to find this rival institution. However, she got caught.

As punishment for her crime, the organization wiped her memory with the use of an artifact and dropped her off in America. However, the artifact isn't a powerful one, and while she forgot some things - like where she came from, what she had done for the past few years, and where she placed her things that were important - she still recalled a few important details. She knew she had to find a hidden place in South Dakota (about all she figured out by that point), she knew she had stored important items and needed this place's help to find them, and she knew that there is something important that she needs to do. She vaguely recalls artifacts and how to handle them, but believes that they are all bad, unable to remember the helpful ones she had previously found.

Allow me to flesh out this big-bad idea of mine, separate from Sarah's involvement. This is a massive big-bad on a scale greater than that of Walter Sykes - possibly one of the Warehouse's greatest threats. The Organization's ultimate goal: take over Warehouse 13, and use it and the power of artifacts to rule the world with an iron fist. They formed in Great Britain in the 1990s after some sort of artifact spree, something that showed a few specific people not only the destructive power of artifacts, but also how they can be used to control people. This small group knew that people would come to collect these objects most of the time, but occasionally they missed some or were preoccupied with something else. So, they developed their own organization to secretly gather these artifacts which could be used for global domination. But they also understood that these people who collected these objects were storing them somewhere, and surely they had a ton of them. If they could get in, they could have unlimited resources for their goal. They have worked in secret for years, knowing that if they were caught too early, they would be stopped from their plans by this organization. So they've been planning - and the best part about this idea is that it can sit for some time if we wish it to until we are ready to use it.
