## Background Narrative

### Maria Hill 1965 - 1982

Maria was born on the coldest night on record in Toronto that year. Her mother, Sarah Hill, died that same night — minutes after giving birth. Sarah's last words were giving her child a name. With no husband or boyfriend and no next-of-kin to claim the body or her newborn baby, Maria became a ward of the state and was raised in foster homes and orphanages.

Maria did not have a good childhood. She never talks about it as there is no need to discuss it. There was no joy or love, only pain and survival.

### Maria Hill: 1982 - 1986

As a ward of the state, Maria was able to gain her "parental consent" to join the Canadian Army at age seventeen and did so eagerly to begin carving her own life. During her initial training, Maria was able to apply for special consideration to enroll for officer training due to her exceptional scores indicating a high potential for intelligence work. Her application was accepted and she would attend the Canadian Forces School of Military Intelligence in Kingston, Ontario, where she would later graduate at the top of her class.

### Maria Hill: 1986 - 1987

Right out of the academy, Lt. Hill was posted as an intelligence coordinator for the Sentinel Services Division's operations centers at Alkali Lake, where she was assigned to work alongside my son. It was here that I would first meet Maria. Though I had no reason to take any special interest in her at first, she seemed like just another dime-a-dozen freshly trained soldier.

### Maria Hill: 1987 - 1988

A year or so later, I recall thinking I had to keep my eye on her when she volunteered to accompany a team on an exfiltration mission. Two agents had been sent to infiltrate a suspected Hydra cell in Europe. Though she was just a military intelligence liaison and had no real clearance to work in the field on an SSD op, we were desperately low on available manpower so I allowed her to go.

In the course of the operation, Hydra caught wind of our team's arrival and ambushed the team en route to their safehouse. An unconscious Maria was spared execution by the assassins as the mole who had leaked the intelligence to Hydra had not included any details about Maria (as she was not an SSD operative), leaving the hit squad to assume Maria was just a civilian caught in the crossfire and not worth the cost of ammunition. This proved to be a costly mistake as Maria, alone and injured, went forward with the mission on her own and managed to pull it off, bringing both undercover agents home and supplying the SSD with bountiful intelligence on Hydra's operations.

I was impressed right away and I was able to convince the Canadian government to release her from her military contract so we could make her a full-time Sentinel. She was then assigned to work in Europe, partnering with Sentinel Coulson. Those two would later recruit Clint Barton to the SSD.

### Maria Hill: 1988 - 1994

In my eyes, Maria would go on to become one of the SSD's best agents. She became one hell of a good taskmaster, overseeing the development of new Weapons. For a while I personally tasked her to the Weapon H program to operate as the SSD liaison in the "Hulk Hunt" to make sure the U.S. Army captured Banner alive.

About the time Weapon X went missing, I pulled her off the Weapon H assignment to conduct an internal investigation on my personal request. Her findings confirmed my suspicion that there was a pro-aberrant clandestine gentleman's club called the Hellfire Club. Though this club had previously enjoyed close ties to the SSD, there was significant tension forming between those who aligned with the Hellfire Club's beliefs and the growing number of Sentinels who felt much differently. I predicted that this division would cause a rift that would tear the SSD apart.

As Maria shared my concerns, we were able to find others in the SSD that wanted to preserve the Sentinels' original ideals and we began to secretly plot to overthrow the SSD and create a new organization... We ended up having mixed success and though the SSD remains, Maria, myself, and the majority of those I considered to be the SSD's best and brightest have found a new home among the ranks of Shield.

## Shield Analysis

### Special Value: -

* Maria Hill is an adult human female with no special abilities.

### Heuristics Value: 5

* **Marksmanship:** Hill is an exceptional marksman with most firearms. Though she usually only uses handguns in the field, her military scores with a long rifle indicate that she could have qualified for sniper training (if that would have been allowed for women at the time).
* **Martial Arts:** Hill is a master of unarmed combat, having a style that blades the techniques of kickboxing, wrestling, and aikido. Seriously, Hill can handle herself. I mean, she spars with Romanova.
* **Weaponsmaster:** Hill is proficient in wielding blades, clubs, and other handled weapons. She is similarly skilled in knife-throwing and other thrown weaponry as well.

### Intellectual Value: 4

* **Strategy:** Hill is an accomplished strategist.

### Expertise Value: 4

* **Espionage Training:** Hill has worked in the field of international intelligence in the field for her entire adult life. She knows all the major players and is exceptionally good at her job. While she is best utilized as a behind-the-scenes coordinator, Maria is fully capable of doing whatever is required to get the job done in tactical operations, undercover assignments, sabotage missions, or surveillance work.
* **Military Training:** Hill was a member of the Canadian Army, trained in its Intelligence Branch.
* **Sentinel Training:** Hill worked for nearly a decade in the Sentinel Secret Service Division. This experience gave her insight into a number of highly classified and sensitive information, including the existence of several types of aberrants, aliens, and everything in-between.

### Logistics Value: 4

* **Linguistics:** Hill is fluent in English and French. She also speaks some German and Russian.
* **Vehicle Operation:** Hill is highly proficient in driving cars, motorcycles, trucks, heavy militarized vehicles, and boats. She is also an accomplished pilot of helicopters and planes.

### Director's Value: 8

* **Agent 2:** Maria is "Agent 2" being the second person recognized as a fully authorized Agent of Shield. She would have been number 1, if the U.N. didn't already record me as Shield-1. It was Maria's work that uncovered the information we needed to begin the work to building Shield in the first place. The only thing keeping her from Level 9 Clearance is her relative youth and inexperience, combined with her status as a completely normal human without no exceptional ability. As I believe she has what it takes to be the Director of Shield one day, I have tasked her as special coordinate for the Avengers Protocol. With Hill running the show, I have no concerns that thing will get done... especially since Maria is one of the few people actually able to hold Tony Stark's feet to the fire and get results."
