Lady Recluse
Contents
Personality
Lady Recluse is slightly haughty and confident in herself. But she does possess a strange sense of honor which shows itself quite often. She is headstrong and even has a dark sense of humor. While hunting, Lady Recluse is always focused on the primary objective and does not take well to being interrupted.
While hunting a target she is fond of taunting them and causing them to loose their mind to paranoia before delivering the final blow.
Origin
(Info is mainly rumor and hearsay, thus is too inconclusive to be in many databases. Please don't metagame any of this.)
Rumors indicate the woman who would become known as Lady Recluse was born and raised in Rome, Italy. She lived a poor life on the streets, resorting to theft to obtain her next meal. In her late teens, she fell in with a local crime syndicate that dwelled in the catacombs under the city. This syndicate saw potential in the young woman, and offered her training and protection. Over the years her skills were honed. She often practiced in theft, but it became very apparent her talents were best suited for Assassination. Recluse was born with an amazing flexibility and equilibrium, this allowed her to pull off even the most complicated of acrobatic moves. She was also trained in martial arts and alchemy by her newfound family. For years to come she operated in Rome, secretly taking out designated targets for the syndicate and crime rings of the city. She took on the synonym "Recluse", which was used by many assassins from Italy to Venezuela.
In the year 2009 she was sent to Germany in pursuit of an escaping target. During the said hunt she ran into The Arachni Empire, a secret organization that operated in Germany and many parts of Europe. She was eventually captured and brought to The Arachni's master, the man only known as Ebony Tarantula. Tarantula also saw potential in her, and took a liking to her name. He offered the young assassin a new purpose, one which would reward her far more than any Italian crime circles ever could. Ebony also offered her access to greater power. Recluse enjoyed what she heard and took Tarantula's offer without hesitation. She trained with the Arachni for years, becoming partners with Ebon Widow, Tarantula's daughter and an assassin in her own right. The two would operate in secret until 2012 when Widow defected from the empire and joined forces with the heroes of earth. Ebony raised Recluse as an apprentice for some time, increasing her skills and knowledge of magic.
In 2013 a Lady Recluse was sent to Millennium City University to recover the contents of an Arachni Intel Pod, one of many that fell on the city in the same year.

Information Collected: Most of the information regarding Lady Recluse has been inconclusive so far. The moniker "Recluse" has been used by numerous assassins from Italy and The West Indies. Prior to this Recluse taking the scene, another Lady Recluse was captured by PRIMUS three months ago after kidnaping a scientist from MCU and being stopped by members of The Nexus Academy. The first known sighting of this Recluse was in November 2013, when she assassinated the local terrorist and mercenary known as Forge. This was around the time the "Orion Encounters" were starting so she dropped from the radar for some time. She appeared again recently in South America after The Arachni base in Hudson City was decimated by the android O.R.I.O.N. Recluse worked with the Nexus Force to defeat Orion before disappearing again with a majority of The Arachni forces.
File Note: While the current Lady Recluse lacks the mental instability the last one had she is considered to be twice as deadly. She is difficult to hold on to due to her flexibility and more difficult to track. It is advised that no hero should go after her alone. *Proceed with Caution*
Trivia
- Lady Recluse is inspired by Copperhead (from Batman Arkham Origins) Lady Shiva (DC), The Baroness (GI JOE) and Asajj Ventress (Star Wars)
- Recluse is a title held by multiple individuals, which makes Lady Recluse a hard one to track.
