Karin Grace

## Background

### 1972 - Present: Karin Grace

Karin Grace is the third youngest of the Grace family daughters. Her father Brandon was a Data Scientist for the US Army's Medical Command. Her mother Patricia worked for the Secret Service as Special Agent in Charge & Criminal Investigator. Both of her parents' positions would have a profound effect on Karin's future career, unlike her sisters. Her eldest sister Evelyn became a child actress that struggled to hold on to her status & lost her fame as she neared her 30s. Her other sister Beryl was also an actress but entered the business in her early 20s, allowing her to keep her status as a national beauty. But unfortunately for her, the departure of her children's father led her down a path of alcoholism, silly stunts & career ruin.

Karin decided to go after a more pratical career: the military. After graduating high school, she enrolled in the United States Air Force Academy & was stationed outside of Blue Valley for the next four years. Upon graduation, she was given the rank of Second Lieutenant with a Bachelors's of Science in Biology. Upon joining the Air Force, she furthered her education & skill before becoming a CSAR qualified aeromedical personnel attached to the USAF 24th Special Tactics Squadron. She worked under Special Tactics Element Leader PJ Ramon Colon-Lopez (who would go on to become the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff). Their squadron was heavily involved in combat operations in the middle east & became part of multiple JSOC groupings. Unfortunately, this resulted in Karin losing some comrades in the process & developing a cold demenaor. But no matter how badly she wanted to retire, she felt dominated by the necessity to serve.

So when ARGUS was formed in 2003, Karin decided to switch careers & get a transfer to the newly founded UN sponsored federal agency. Luckily for her, she impressed ARGUS' Deputy Director, Amanda Waller. She didn't say much at the time other than she knew than Karin would be valuable asset for her in time. It was only a year later when Waller asked for Karin to be apart of a black ops unit that would be run by Captain Rick Flag. Karin was already on board but once she met the military man, she was quickly sold. She became the team's medical doctor & the one that no one wanted to mess with. Though described as standoff-ish by some, Flag was determined to win her over. The two ended up bonding over the losses they had both experienced & soon fell in love, leading to a marriage only after a year of courtship.

The marriage may have lasted only for two years but Karin's time with the Suicide Squad has continued on. As the team constantly changed its ranks, Karin has remained a familiar face of the task force & has softened her cold demeanor to even consider some of the other administrative members to be her friends.
