## Biography

### Early Life

Miranda was born Miranda Campbell, daughter to Cameron Campbell. As a young teenager, she was raped by a drunk Campbell, and then made to think that she had misunderstood by her mother, who had been paid off by her now-estranged father. ("Ascension")

### Tasks for Brent Hall

For a long time, Miranda was loyal to Brent Hall, and frequently engaged in doing his 'dirty work' for him. It was later revealed that she was in his employ primarily because he had promised to help her bring her own justice to her father for his crimes. ("The Blood-Dimmed Tide")

According to Marty Kingston, Miranda is wanted in connection with seven infractions and over two dozen more mainstream crimes, and has been linked with Reclaimer cells from both France and Mexico. ("Washington")

Miranda has a complex working and personal relationship with Ethan Taylor, for whom she has strong feelings, and resents his attachment to Sarah Cunnington.

Miranda was responsible for paying Adam Conley, whom she called Martin, to pretend to rob Donald MacKenzie's bookshop so that Sarah would Home Jump with MacKenzie's son, Daniel, in 2017. She then later caused the car crash with Agent Hafiz, Ethan and Donald, and was the one who murdered Donald. ("Glasgow", "Revelations")

Miranda also recruited Patrick Kearney, with the sole intention of placing him undercover at the Princess Grace Hospital so that he would be placed to later get revenge on Sarah, his ex-girlfriend, for being humiliated by her while they had been dating. Two years later, she posed as Kate Lewis, Ethan's girlfriend, and allowed Patrick to attempt his revenge - even though she knew that Hall wanted Sarah alive - but instead Patrick was killed. ("Ethan", "Tom", "Revelations")

Miranda and Ethan later attempted to persuade Abbie Farley to leave her life and family behind in order to save herself after her brother Owen Farley betrayed the Reclaimers following his capture by the QIA. Abbie refused their help, however, and later ended up dead - which may or may not have been Miranda's doing. ("Revelations")

In late February 2020, Miranda - posing once again as Kate - broke into Rupa Kalsi's flat. ("Misdirection") She took Kalsi to a secret Hub deep beneath Dryburn Moor in Northumberland, and Jumped with Kalsi to Luxembourg in 1973, in order to prove both the existence of time-travel, and Sarah's involvement. She later called Hall to apologise for almost getting Sarah killed, but told him that - thanks to her - Rupa Kalsi was now primed for recruitment, a fact that she hoped would get her back in Hall's good graces. Subsequently, Rupa did indeed join the QIA. ("Reclamation", "Rupa")

Six weeks later, Hall tasked Miranda with murdering Jarrad Foley in 2011, even though he was due to die in that timeframe anyway. However, she was distracted from this task by Ethan, who seduced her and slept with her in order to keep her from intervening with Foley's death. ("Rupa")

She later showed up in Park Lane in 2002, where Sarah was waiting for Foley, and abducted Sarah ("Fugitive"). Knowing fully what Hall would have planned for her captive, Miranda told her boss that she had her, and also gleefully informed Sarah that she had recently slept with Ethan. However, upon discovering that Sarah was pregnant, she let her go, and was consequently severely beaten by Marcus Anderson in Sarah's place. Afterwards, Miranda called Ethan, who came back and looked after her for a couple of days, but left as soon as Miranda told him that Sarah was pregnant. ("Rome")

A few weeks later, following her recovery, Miranda was summoned to see Hall in Denmark. Hall told her that he had had Anderson killed because of what he had done to her, and that it had cost him his place within the QIA; this was of course all lies, but Miranda did not know that. He then tasked her with recovering some files from the Hub, which she completed (with most of the work being done by Heike Skulstad). ("Change", "Lampeter")

She later went with Hall to Malta, along with Joseph Christophe, whom the QIA believes dead, in order to meet with Christophe's successor Radimir Krepela. Using Christophe as a bargaining chip by claiming he had an explosive brain implant, Miranda and Hall persuaded Krepela to help them on the next mission Hall had tasked Miranda with. Also while in Malta, Miranda abducted Rupa's new husband, Damien Shaw, in order to ensure Hall's safe exit. ("Malta")

Miranda next appeared in Paris, researching Joyeuse, the legendary sword of King Charlemagne. She was accompanied by Christophe, still in the belief that she was held his life in her hands due to the phoney implant, and Kris Hagen and Luna Tavistock, two Reclaimer agents provided by Krepela ("Denny"). Together with Christophe, the four of three of them then Jumped from the Reclaimes' Lisbon Hub to 8th century France, dressed as knights, in an attempt to get hold of the sword itself. ("Auxerre")

During the mission, Miranda and her group ran across Nate Cotter and his Circle cell, which included Ethan who was working undercover. In the resulting battle between them, both groups vying for Joyeuse, only Ethan, Miranda and Christophe survived, though Miranda was seriously injured ("Auxerre"). After recovering two weeks later, Miranda was later sent by Hall to deal with (but not kill) Ethan and reclaim the sword. To find him, she abducted, then later sadistically tortured and killed Nate's subordinate Cal 'Nick' Nicholson, which seemed to be a step too far even for her. After finally tracking down Ethan, who had just returned from the Roncevaux Pass mission himself, she asked him to kill Hall for her. When he refused, she told him that Hall intended to destroy Sarah by sending a Chinese man to permanently disfigure her, an act that would eventually lead to Sara becoming Fran Grenouille, and Ethan left her to save Sarah. ("Family")

Miranda returned, still working for Hall, during the Omagh mission; on board Hall's helicopter, she briefly fought with Sarah as the vehicle was rising into the sky, culminating in her striking Sarah in the jaw and knocking her out of the open door; Sarah fell two stories onto the concrete floor, endangering the life of her unborn baby. ("Ted")

Perhaps feeling guilt over this, she called Ethan to warn him after Hall sent Adam Solomon to take back Joyeuse from Ethan. ("Life")

She later confirmed Sarah's death to Hall ("Death"), and took a considerable time to get over Ethan's own disappearance (and presumed death) ("The Blood-Dimmed Tide").

By November 2022, Miranda had been on an unknown long-term assignment for Hall for seven months, but she nonetheless relayed the information that Sarah was in fact still alive, and in the Void ("Resurrection", "The Blood-Dimmed Tide").

It was later revealed that this long-term assignment had involved grooming and monitoring Will Bradley. Towards the end of this assignment, Miranda - who had been going by the aliases Zara Dean and Sarah Cunnington - was arrested by the Washington Field Team in 2016 and brought back to 2023. After her true identity was exposed, she attempted to cut a deal, offering information on Sam Locke. However, after the subsequent mission to arrest Locke went sideways, she was sentenced to enter the Void on Christmas Day 2022. She was rescued in a joint operation by Ethan and Sarah, the former because he had spent two years in the Void himself with a fantasy-world version of her. After Miranda told Ethan she no longer had feelings for him and threatened Sarah's life, he facilitated her escape from the Washington Hub. ("Washington")

Not long afterwards, Miranda returned to Ethan to ask for his help, to - in her words - 'save the world'. However, this was later revealed to involve teaming up with Will Bradley and Sam Locke in 2016, to kill an agent of The Circle called Liam Widmore. However, she had not banked on the fact that Will and Ethan would become sort-of friends, and at the last minute, the two men betrayed her and Locke, with Ethan arresting both Locke and Widmore. This arrest did not last long, however, as a mysterious short American man appeared, apparently from the future, and took Locke at gunpoint. Disgusted with the actions of both Ethan and Will, who had decided to go with Ethan to face the consequences of his past actions, Miranda once again left. ("Ghosts", "Masquerade")

In April 2023, Miranda switched her allegiance to Fran Grenouille, after witnessing Hall's brutality towards Ayana Sarkar's son Ayoub, along with the fact that Hall still had done nothing to help her get to her father. ("The Blood-Dimmed Tide")

Miranda was next seen in 2008, where she killed both Mohamed Marzouq and his associate Lucien Swain, to stop them from killing Esther Wilson, on the orders of Fran Grenouille. Also on Fran's orders, Miranda took Esther home while Fran spoke to (and in fact murdered) Carlos Sánchez. On their way, she spoke with Hall and convinced him that she had not been the one who had betrayed him, though this was of course a lie. ("Destiny")

After this, Fran next sent Miranda to deal with (kill) Cameron Campbell, who was in prison under a false name. Despite Campbell being Miranda's father, she willingly did so because of all the abuse she had suffered from him as a young girl. ("Ascension")

## Personality

Miranda has a cruel, ruthless streak. She is single-minded and, for the most part, fiercely loyal to Brent Hall. The only exception to this has been when concerning Sarah Cunnington, whom she despises due to her relationship with Ethan Taylor, for whom Miranda has strong feelings of lust. Indeed, Miranda openly offered herself to Ethan many times (e.g. in Rome ("Revelations")), but he had always rejected her - until he followed her to 2011, where she had been tasked in murdering Jarrad Foley, and he seduced and slept with her in order to prevent her from accomplishing her mission. ("Rupa")

She may possibly be bisexual, having alluded to having been in a relationship with Heike Skulstad; however, this was said during interrogation and possibly just as a way of riling her interrogators. ("Washington")

## Kate Lewis

Kate Lewis was the persona that Miranda used while posing as Ethan's girlfriend. After he was injured during the New Philadelphia 2263 Mission, Miranda deliberately manipulated events so that she would meet Sarah in the hospital, and told her that she intended to propose to Ethan once he got released. The following morning, she returned to the hospital to find Sarah had clearly spent the night with Ethan ("Tom").

Following the events surrounding Ethan's absconsion, 'Kate' went missing, prompting further investigation from DCI Rupa Kalsi ("Luxembourg") until she abducted Rupa in a bid to convince her to accept Hall's offer to join the QIA ("Misdirection", "Reclamation", "Rupa").
