Adria Englebert is a former lawyer turned violent political terrorist, and the older sister of Lieutenant of the New Haven Police Department, Susan Englebert. Born to police officers Emma and Ezra Englebert, Adria was raised by her parents with the aspiration to join the law. Unlike her later sister, Susan, with whom she had a close relationship with in her youth, or her parents however, Adria became a prosecutor instead of a police officer. The devastating death of her parents in late 2008 and subsequent blaming of their loss at Susan, who refused her proposal for the both of them to find the killers themselves and seek out revenge, led Adria's grief to manifest and consume much of her life.
After leaving her sister, Adria wiped any trace of her identity and disappeared seemingly from the world. Spending the intervening years living off petty crime, Adria eventually found herself at the Himalayan mountains to the east of Kazakhstan, where she would find and be taken captive to a monastery containing a union of warriors, assassins and spies known as the Iron Dynasty. Being rigorously and brutally trained by the organisation, Adria endured immense punishment and misogyny under its leader's orders in order to become the perfect fighter like the rest of the group, learning a various expertise in martial arts. Finally gathering the strength to seize control of the monastery, Adria mercilessly murdered the leaders in order to take control, having built up a following during her time there. Executing everyone who refused, Adria officially became the leader of the Iron Dynasty, burning the monastery and taking everything owned with her.
Following her take-over of the Dynasty, Adria made deep connections in the criminal underworld as an arms dealer, secretly loathing them as 'scum' and planning to eradicate them along with the rest of the world. In 2016, Adria would return to her torn home town of Empire Bay in order to build her army and dealing empire, establishing a partnership with the talented alchemist Dr. Sunshine, with whom she paid the last of her funds to develop the dangerous toxin he would later unleash onto the Bay; seeking first and foremost to draw Susan out into the open and then proceed to kill her. However, with the disappearance of Sunshine following a fight between Susan and the vigilante Isaac Bubbles, Adria's plan was inadvertently foiled, leading her to choose to take Susan on herself.
In late 2017, Adria continued to expand her business into New Haven following the destruction of Empire Bay, where she would plan to drag Susan out yet again but this time to the state of Nevada, where she would be most vulnerable and to align it with her plans at the abandoned Nuclear Test Facility there. This plan ultimately failed, however, again due to the meddling of her sister Susan and Isaac, who by this time had established a close connection, making them a difficult force to fight against. As a result of her failure, Adria was arrested and sentenced to Death Row for her numerous crimes, with her execution date due several years in the future.

==Abilities & Skills==
Having been physically active since a young age and learnt many tactics and abilities used by police by her parents, Adria Englebert became a naturally strong-willed and lethal fighter, especially with her rigorous, harsh training by the Iron Dynasty.
===Abilities===
*Close-combat/hand-held weapons:
**Sword Mastery: Having first started her training through fencing with her younger sister, Adria was trained extensively in the ways of the sword to the point of aptitude. Adria is able to wield swords with incredible expertise in speed, power, and skills, allowing her to perform such feats as decimating many opponents in short time, hold her ground, and perform incredibly complex and dangerous tricks against her opponents. Her mastery of swords has grown to the point of her being able to operate with little or no effort, delivering skillful strikes to weak points with great precisions and ferocity. As a result, Adria has become naturally skilled in the use of multiple swords and an assortment of blade weapons regardless of shape or size, and her remarkable control allows her to bypass obstacles and opponents with ease and strength.
**Spear Mastery: Though not as strong in the ways of the sword, Adria possess an aptitude for spearmanship and a dexterity with variations such as lances, javelins or spear-shaped weapons.
**Staff Mastery: Adria is able to demonstrate an aptitude for the ways of the staff, being able to wield a staff with great proficiency and skill for close quarter combat purposes that can be used to their advantages. 
**Knife Mastery: Adria is extremely skilled with all forms of knives and can wield small blades with great proficiency and cunning as well as stealth; concealing multiple knives on their person flawlessly, to be retrieved at will in combat, such as her Tanto knife. Through this, Adria has a richly varied fighting style: swotching between any number of exotic types of knife mid-battle to hack, jab, hook, distract or otherwise harm a target. Trick moves, misdirection, and feints are also regularly used by Adria in combat, particularly with difficult oppontents, and she has learnt the ability to target and exploit an opponent's vital points with flawless accuracy to make a swift, silent kill or disable them. Her aim of throwing is nigh-perfect, even in the middle of combat, and allows Adria to pin targets down through their clothing or flesh, thus preventing them from moving.
**Chained Weaponry Mastery: Adria holds a nimble aptitude for swinging weaponry, being able to wield swinging weaponry such as her meteor hammer with great skill in hand condition, agility, and moderate attack power. This is proficient to the point of enabling her to immobilize opponents completely through strangulation, as she almost did to Susan during the Nevada Desert chase, and whirl the chain around in order to protect as well as attack.
*Master Martial Artist: Adria is incredibly and highly experienced and proficient in hand-to-hand combat. With her extensive learning and knowledge of melee combat, Adria has mastered several martial arts styles ranging from Aikido, Krav Maga, Kung Fu, boxing, Karate, Ninjutsu, Jujitsu, Bōjutsu and Judo, having specialised in primarily China and Japan-originated styles.
*Expert Marksman: While not as skilled with far-range weapons as she is with other close-combat weapons, Adria is highly proficient in the use of various firearms and melee weapons, having a solid knowledge of most guns functions and grip on how to use them. Adria is more often than not good with accuracy and aim, and is also capable of dual wielding guns at the same time.
*Expert Combatant: Adria is unbelievably skilled in most known forms of fighting. She is exceptionally proficient in the fighting traditions of a variety of cultures and has become advanced with their own individual methods of close quarter combat, including martial arts (from all over the world), boxing, and wrestling.
*Master Tactician: With years of police and intense, painful military experience, Adria has developed herself to become an extremely skilled strategic genius, able to create strategies and plan several steps ahead of her opponents. She can elaborate complex plans and apply them not only in battle but all activities, as well as almost certainly anticipate all of the possible obstacles and obstacles ahead in order to know what the best course of action is to take in any given situation. This allows Adria to adapt and prepare for future in advance, considering a large number of scenarios, and plan ahead for them to be prepared and handle them effectively. Adria is notably known for constructing elaborate plans from the shadows as a puppetmaster of sorts, as was demonstrated in her hiring of Dr. Sunshine and the cut-off of the Anti-Terrorist Task Force.
===Skills===
*Escape Artistry: Adria can escape all manner of bonds, with a deductive mind able to recognise and exploit several flaws of trops such as knots, fetters, bonds. In conjunction with her expertise in strategy and combat, Adria is able to construct complex plans in order to break her out of major places such as prisons or incarceration and fight off the guards, strengthening her artistry of escape.
*Leadership: Though she is immoral and careless with those she commands, seeing them as no more than dispensable cattle to be used for her benefit, Adria bevertheless is able to effectively keep order and morale and maintain her status as leader, often through bribery, threats or even brainwashing. This was proven in her murder of the Iron Dynasty leaders and subsequent burning down of the Himalayan Monastery, where she was able to convince most of her fellow members to rally for her own cause, killing those who disobeyed.
==Equipment==
===Weapons===
*Handmade Han Dynasty Sword: The primary sword used by Adria is a custom handmade Han Dynasty sword with a design dating back to the Han Dynasty in 206 BC - 220 AD. The blade is made of folded steel, with both sides customised with fuller grooves. The sword's handle is patterned, and the bottom is a round pommel and grip metal. As well as being lightweight, the blade is incredibly sharp and overall sturdy, enabling its wielder to fight easily.
*Double Chinese hook swords: The secondary set of swords used by Adria, mostly for the quick dispatching of enemies. The end of the hilt is sharpened, and its crescent guard is used for blocking, trapping and slashing. There is also the unique element of the hook, which can be used to trip enemies, catch weapons and slash. In addition, together as a set, Adria can link them together to deal even greater damage: the two hooks are capable of loosely connecting, and the wielder swings one hook sword, in a way that the second is extended further out, to almost six feet. While the second is in the air, the dagger upon the hilt slashes the target. In this way, the wielder can extend their reach out from three feet to six.
*Twin broadswords: After the events of Double-Edged Sword, Adria added twin broadswords made of combat steel to her massive arsenal of weapons, with the wide blade lengths and incredibly sharpness providing for deadly slashes and attacks. 
*Tanto: A traditional hidden knife made of Damascus steel.
*Shurikens: Another concealed weapon often used by Adria are her traditionally star-shaped shurikens as supplementary weapons to her samurai-like arsenal, being made of stainless steel.
*Meteor Hammer: Specially trained in the use of obscure Chinese weaponry, Adria possesses a meteor hammer consisting of a single-headed, metallic sphere with spikes attached to it. It is perhaps her most heavy weapon, being attached to a chain which she uses to swing to strike opponents or choke them as well as disarming them of weapons, and is capable of dealing with huge crowds with speed. This particular meteor hammer used by Adria has an extra feature to it, with a button enabling a saw-like blade to pop out and surround the sphere.
*Smoke bombs: Adria had her own smoke bombs, allowing her to disappear out of sight very easily.
===Items===
*Iron Dynasty Suit: The tactical suit used by Adria is augmented, steel armour coloured in grey, black and red streaks, with the Iron Dynasty insignia embossed onto the front. The armour is threaded with Nomex, a flame-resistant meta-aramid meterial, and Kevlar fibre, which makes it resistant to small arms fire.
**Cuirass: The breastplate and backplate fastened together, and the main body of protection of the stomach.
**Cuisses: Covers and protects the thigh.
**Poleyn: Covers and protects the knee.
**Greaves: Covers and protects the leg.
**Sabaton: Covers and protects the foot.
**Spaulders: Covers and protects the shoulders.
**Vambrace: Covers and protects the arm.
**Gauntlets: A variety of glove, the steel gauntlets of the Iron Dynasty suit are sharp and provide movements with fists with superior strength and damage.
**Kabuto Helmet: A helmet designed after the kinds used by ancient Japanese warriors and the traditional class of samurai in feudal Japan.  This particular helmet is decorated at the datemono with an eagle crest, and has the typical horns used on them removed for extra lightweight.
**Lame: Incredibly sturdy sheet metal to connect the armour together.
**Facemask: The facemask conceals ones entire identity, with slots for eyes and insertable night-vision lens' at the sockets.
===Vehicles===
*Armoured Motorcycle: Adria's personal, primary mode of transportation is a land-based motorcycle, coated in blank paint with maroon highlights in addition to white head and backlights. It is a heavily modified and elongated version of the Harley-Davidson Street 750 motorcycle. The bike is heavily-armoured and capable of speeds of 150mph, with a twin cylinder engine within the main body of the bike. It measures at 95.4 inches long with a width of 3 feet and 1 inches, and weighs approximately 570 lbs (258 kg). The wheels are forged from titanium, and supplemented by huge super-swamper tires configured to spin around perfectly when needed, allowing it easy to ride in all environments with greater mobility, especially off-road. Reinforced with kevlar, the bike is resistant to small arms fire and fire itself, though it leaves its rider more vulnerable and out in the open due to its length and the lack of protection above.
*Armoured Van: A former SWAT vehicle repainted and reinforced for extra security, and the morre covert, 'safe' mode of transport used by Adria and the Iron Dynasty. 
==Trivia==
*The name Adria is a form of the Latin given name Adrianus or Hadrianus. Its origin likely refers to the river Adria from the Venetic and Illyrian word adur, meaning 'sea' or 'water, as well as the Adriatic sea region. It also means dark.
*Adria's original name was supposed to be 'Sarah'. However, this was changed due to the annoying alliterative family naming trope tthe creator wished to avoid and thus the name Adria was settled upon.
