Summary: From 1934 to the end of World War II in 1945, Germany enlisted elite squads of arcane-enhanced agents to defend the Fatherland. One squad, the Black Cross, was led by an agent code-named "Countess Angst".

Shortly after Germany surrendered and the Allies seized all the secrets Germany had under lock and key, Countess Angst was captured and kept in a Stockholm jail until 1973.

She currently, albeit reluctantly, serves the United Nations in tasks best left to those with her abilities.

Miscellaneous (accessible for players who have an RP backstory that allows them to access UNTIL personal files of heroes):

A medical examination of Heidi's body revealed German surgeons have implanted 26 runestones of unknown enchantments throughout her body, most notably at the base of her skull. An X-ray of a few stones reveal them to be oval, about the size of an American quarter, and etched with the symbol of "Kaunan", from the Elder Futhark runic alphabet. It translates into "ulcer" or "torch".

Arcanists have determined each runestone emits magical threads that connect into her nervous system, the highest concentration of these threads at the runes attached to the base of her skull and the L4 vertabra. When Heidi uses her powers, it is believed psi-tendrils extend from specific runes to attach to the nervous system of her intended target. The end result is the target experiencing a combination of heightened pain and fear. While it does not cause physiological damage, the target can pass out and in extreme cases may even die of extreme terror.

Heidi knows about the events following World War II, but has some difficulties grasping modern technology and social progress like racial diversity, gender equality, and sexual preference.
