Marina Santos

Marina Santos is a notorious outlaw formerly residing in Rio. Her actions as a fugitive got her kicked out of her family and disowned by her parents. Ajeet Singh, her employer, gave her a job she couldn't refuse. The job was a test observed by Persephone Brimstone, Shaundi Wilson and Ajeet himself in which she successfully passed. After being offered to join the fight against L.E.G.I.O.N., she saw the M.A.Y.H.E.M. Initiative as a chance to redeem herself and earn back the trust of her family.
== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Marina was born into poverty with her family in San Andrés. Marina was only two years old when her family moved to Brazil to escape the violent cartels of Colombia, especially the ones associated with the Carnales of Stilwater. Growing up with her mother, father and older brother, Marina wanted to help her family get out of poverty in any way she could. As a teenager, Marina never made it into the tenth grade as she was too uneducated and her parents could no longer afford to keep her in school, resulting in her having to drop out.
=== Saints Row (2018) ===
During the Zintek Revolution, TranZin had begun production of vessels known as the Insurgent-Class Dreadnought. Highly advanced and extremely high in firepower, the ship's weaponry was designed and manufactured by Hammersmith Industries while the ship itself was designed and manufactured by the TranZin-Lockheed Corporation. Although only three of them were being built at the time, they were going to be given to the Brazilian Armed Forces Navy for military use. However, while out with her two friends Tia and Miranda, the three of them saw it on the news and Marina saw an opportunity to use them for her own use and proposed to hi-jack them but the other two girls didn't take lightly to that as the dreadnoughts were still being built and were in a highly secured vessel docking facility built by TranZin.
Over months, Marina became infamous for her unspeakable crimes. Her ego grew, making Marina forget her life long goal of helping her family and only thinking for herself. Disgraced by her parents and brother, and no longer a member of the family, Marina put herself and her crew into self exile, isolating herself from the rest of the world.
One day everything changed when her close friend Ajeet Singh had a deal for her, she insisted she has done enough harm to innocent people and will steal no more. But being a sleek smuggler, Ajeet convinced Marina the target was a billion dollar prototype drone developed by TranZin. He gave her a deal she couldn't refuse and she managed to steal it but it was an audition for her place in the M.A.Y.H.E.M. Initiative, as Persephone and Shaundi were watching her the entire time.
Marina believed she was set up and double crossed but Shaundi told Marina she has a chance to redeem herself. Believing she can earn her family's trust again, Marina joined the initiative.
== Personality ==
Marina always cared about her family and only wanted the best for it, even as a little girl. She was always curious about what the world was like outside of Rio. She valued her friends and family, mostly putting them first instead of herself, only wanting what was best for her family. As a little girl, she was known by the community for her outgoing personality and kind heart.
After she became an outlaw, her goal drastically changed and she became extremely power hungry. She didn't value the lives of innocent people during raids, showing little to no mercy, even killing the parents of a young girl she helped when she was a teenager with no second thoughts. She became greedy and made decisions that only benefitted herself such as contracts and sharing little with others, even underpaying her crew, but they remained loyal to her regardless, still grateful with what they got paid. But she lost approximately 30% of her crew while the others remained by her side.
After she was kicked out of her family, she came to realize how selfish and greedy she became. Tremendous amount of guilt came over her because of the deaths of civilians, her actions and how she disappointed her family and let them down. Because of the guilt she had, this would make her go into self-imposed exile as punishment towards herself because of the mistakes she made.
