Zannah

## Background

### Prehistory - 1900: Zannah

It is unknown when exactly Lady Zannah of Khera was born or much else for that matter other than what she tells people. From what has been gathered, Zannah is the daughter of Harmony & some Lord of Khera, born out of their mating ritual.

The Kherubims were a race blessed with longevity but unfortunately, the race had become nearly infertile. Childbirth was a great honor so every Kherubim had to participate in a ritual where a female & male had to mate. If it resulted in pregnancy, the woman would become a priestess but if not, she could do with her life as she pleased. After coming of age, Lady Zannah & Lord Majestros had been selected to mate together. Their union resulted in childbirth. Though she carried out her pregnancy with her head held high, she could not let go of her dreams to become a warrior. After expressing her feelings to her mother, they both decided they would lie about Zannah's child. The story was that the child did not make it through birth while Harmony took up a lover & claimed the baby girl as her own. Naming her Kenesha, the child grew up believing she was the younger sister of Zannah.

Her mother becamea living legend of their civilization for having two births. To honor her mother, Zannah followed her dreams & created the the Coda Sisterhood, a completely female caste of warriors devoted to the honor of combat. Over the years, the Coda grew in power & become a major faction of Khera.

As leader of the Coda & an elite warrior, she was picked to be on the team of Kherubims to go aboard the explorer ship to gain intel on the Daemonites. Unfortunately, their ship crashed land on Earth after battling with a Daemonite warship. Along with the other members, she was able to blend in among the human populations. The Daemonites could only do so through their power of possession & shapeshifting. For the next few millennia, Zannah & other Kherubims waged in a secret war with the Daemonites, unknown to humans.

Zannah proved herself to be strong warrior, fighting in many battles. She eventually ended up in the the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks. Zannah was the one who gave Ulysses with the idea of the Trojan Horse. After the massacre of the Trojans & their army, the Greeks repaid Zannah by giving her a group of willing female warriors & the Peloponnese Peninsula of Greece for them to settle.

They remained here on their own but eventually came into contact with the Amazons by the grace of the Greek gods. The two sisterhood formed an alliance that would one day come in handy. Some of the newer members of Coda began to oppose Zannah as they felt she wasn't a true leader. They kidnapped her & her followers, torturing them for days. Eventually, Zannah was able to escape but not before the rest of her Coda sisters were killed. When Zannah caught one of them & asked the reason why she would betray them, she responded it was Charis that ordered the mass murder. Zealot went to Themyscira for some time, living among the Amazons before revealing the events to Majestros. Together, the two swore to hunt down Charis.

	+ ***Enhanced Agility*:** Zealot has a level of agility that is quite literally astonishing. Her agility, balance, flexibility, dexterity & bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of an Olympic gold medalist, with a quickness far beyond norm. She's capable of feats such as vaulting off of walls, going from flips into a vertical stomp, adjusting her rate & direction when in terminal velocity fall. This, coupled with her strength & endurance makes her a formidable fighter alone, not to mention fighting skills.
	+ ***Enhanced Strength*:** Zealot is naturally stronger than a normal human. This ability is further compounded by her extreme level of training & abilities as per her status as Coda Majestrix & level of experience. She can lift up to two tons of weight with effort & in addition to this, knows how to best apply her strength as she once kicked out of a body hold placed by the far stronger Maul.
	+ ***Enhanced Stamina*:** Zealot has a very high level of endurance. Her body & will are so strong, she will continue to try and fight even against overwhelming odds and when pain wracks every portion of her form. However, she is not invulnerable but possesses a very high pain threshold.
	+ ***Enhanced Durability*:** Her skin, bones & muscle tissues are denser & super-hard compared to a normal human. A regular bullet will not adequately harm her. She & her sister Savant for example, can be harmed by armor piercing bullets, but not regular bullets.

Zealot has literally been described as one of the deadliest assassin on the planet. Her fighting abilities are unmatched among the Coda, with & without a blade. She can hold her own against virtually anyone, including those physically better then her, in one on one & even group combat. Her range of martial arts knowledge spans almost all arts known to man & include the alien fighting arts of the Coda. Calling her a master of fighting & weaponry would be an understatement.
