Amira Malick

**Amira Malick** (née **Dante**) was the wife of Gideon Malick, the late mother of their daughter, Stephanie and, like her husband, was a member of the Inner Circle of HYDRA, being the descendant of the original worshippers of Hive. Raised in the ideology of HYDRA's ancient roots since birth, Amira would rise to join the leadership of the HYDRA Council, where she married Gideon and bore with him their daughter. During Stephanie's childhood, however, Amira contacted an illness that she eventually succumbed to, a loss that affected her beloved and child.

## Biography

### HYDRA

#### Loyal since Birth

The descendant of the original worshippers of the Inhuman Hive and which HYDRA had sprouted from, Amira's clan, the House of Dante, continued their ancestors beliefs, continuing to remain faithful in their allegiance to Hive and the goal of enacting his return from his banishment on Maveth centuries ago and Amira was raised from birth in the lap of luxury, her family being closely associated with numerous industries across the world, and indoctrinated into the Dante's beliefs, having been taught to regard the Inhuman of HYDRA myth, Hive, as a deity.

The Dantes were on good terms with the Malick family, which had restored its wealth and status from the impoverished state it had suffered following the Wall Street Crash in 1929 and Amira would often accompany her parents to Malick Manor, where she would play with Nathaniel and Gideon Malick whilst her parents discussed business with Wilfred Malick. Amira would also witness her mother and father partaking in HYDRA's ceremonies, which chose their sacrifice to be sent through a Monolith to Hive and were held in the homes of the Inner Circle's greatest members, including the manor where Amira was born and raised. Although both were never selected, Amira viewed both as brave for participating and sough to continue their work.

Following the death of Wilfred Malick, Amira, now nearing the age where she would choose the path she would follow in HYDRA, again ventured with her parents to Malick Manor, this time to honor the memory of the recently passed Wilfred Malick, who's funeral she attended, bidding farewell to Gideon before leaving afterwards.

Soon afterwards, Amira again returned to the Malick's place of residence to participate in her first selection ceremony, which was also attended by her childhood friends Gideon and Nathaniel. Pulling a stone from an embroidered bag offered to her by the man besides her, when the bag had been passed to every member, Amira opened her clenched fist to reveal that she had selected a black stone, thus sparing her, but realized soon afterwards that Nathaniel Malick had been the follower to draw the white stone that condomed him to Maveth, Amira staring at her friend in horror, then watching as he was sacrificed to the Monolith, taking Gideon's hand as their heard his brother's scream, having mistaken his tears of shame to be of grief alone.

#### Marriage to Malick and Death

Upon reaching the age deemed appropriate, Gideon began courting Amira, having discovered an affection for her that she recuperated, the two indulging in numerous activities as their love blossomed, including horseback riding, sailing and hiking, the latter of which the once undertook on the Adrspach-Teplice Rock Towns, where they took a photo of themselves as the sun set. Amira and Gideon eventually married and together, they lived a life of privilege and luxury at Malick Manor whilst also continuing their ceremonies of worship to Hive, sending him sacrifices under the hope that one day he would return from Maveth where he was trapped, as well as achieving the goals of HYDRA's modern incarnation in the name of readying the world for Hive's return, although Amira was unaware of her husband's tactic of switching out a stone with one that was notched so as to avoid being chosen.

Amira would eventually become pregnant with the couple's only child, whom they named Stephanie and raised in the same manner as they themselves had been by their own parents, with Stephanie and Amira having an affectionate relationship. Eventually, however, Amira would contract an unknown affliction that she eventually succumbed to, dying in her sleep with her husband and daughter behind her. The death of Amira Malick had a significant effect on her family, with Malick going to greater lengths to achieve the goal that he, his wife and his family had sought for centuries to achieve returning Hive from exile. Stephanie, meanwhile, mourned her mother and refused to get out of bed for a week, but was pulled together by her father's tough but honest advice to man up, rather than let her mother down by wallowing in grief.
