Irena (iZombie)

Irena aka Meers (Mercy Malick) is the main villainess of "Abra Cadaver", episode 2.07 of iZombie (airdate November 17, 2015). She was part of a magician duo known as "Smoak and Meers" (for which Irena disguised herself as a man), and the rivals of Gothic magician Syd Wicked. When Syd threatened to expose the duo's signature trick, as he had with several other magicians, Smoak and Meers plotted to kill him as a means of silencing him.
To do so, Irena took a part-time job as a maid at the hotel he was staying at for magic convention PrestoFest, allowing her to enter Syd's room and kill him by slitting his throat with one of his razor-bladed playing cards. She then screamed and ran from the room, acting as though Syd were already dead when she entered the room. When questioned by Clive and Liv, Irena claimed that she heard Syd "yelling at the angels", implicating Syd's assistant Angel, leading the two off her and her partner's scent. They had also hired a woman named Destiny to seduce fellow magician "The Magnificent Magnus" and take him to the bathroom for a tryst to destroy his alibi and frame him for Syd's murder.
After learning of Syd's rivalry with Smoak and Meers, Liv and Clive later questioned the pair, with Irena now in her disguise. Irena's use of a whiteboard to talk (done to keep the ruse hidden) was ultimately what led Liv to uncover her and Smoak's secret, as she recognized that Irena's handwriting on a hotel whiteboard as that of "Meers". Liv and Clive confronted the villainous magicians as they were filming a trick for their upcoming TV special, where Liv revealed how they pulled off their crime as well as unmasking Meers as Irena. After also proving that Smoak was Irena's co-conspirator after he initially proclaimed innocence, the evil Irena and Smoak were arrested.
