## Background

### 1991 - 2017: Delilah Blake

Quick backstory on the Blake family. Deliah's father, George Robert Blake, was the eldest son of Bartholomew "Barty" Blake, the man that started the family's fortune. In a more relatable terms, Barty was the Lex Luthor or Bruce Wayne in the city of Coolsville. Her father George was set to inherit the business with his two younger brothers, Matthew & Reese while their other siblings would hold shares in the company. So at a younge age, they were all introduced to the business & quickly learned the ropes. As he got older, George gained more & more responsibility in the company until he was his father's right hand man.

Delilah Blake is the daughter of George Robert Blake & the giving philanthropist Elizabeth Maxwell. She is the fourth of their daughters, following behind Dana & her triplet sisters: Daisy, Dawn & Dorothy. When Delilah was four, they had their last daughter Daphne. Delilah & Daphne were quite close growing up as the triplets mostly stuck together & Dana was much older than the rest so she hung out with friends from school.

When Delilah was fifteen, her grandfather passed away from a heart attack. Her father quickly stepped in as CEO of the family business & brought along his brothers with him to the top. Around the same time, the triplets decided on their careers as they were nearing their second year of college. But Delilah was lost on what she wanted to do, though she was sure she didn't want to join the family business. It wasn't until the Marine Corps visited her high school during her junior year that she made her decision.

It took some weeks but eventually Delilah brought up the idea of joining the Marines to her father. Though she was fully prepared for him to shut down her idea, he instead stated how proud he was of her. He then told her the story of his grandfather that served in the army & fought in World War I. While her father completely supported her decision, he made it clear that he still wanted her to get a college education. So they came to a compromise. Instead of Delilah enlisting in the Marines right after high school, she would enroll at the United States Naval Academy.

Delilah did well at the academy. She graduated with high marks, a degree in Foreign Area Studies & the rank of Second Lieutenant. During her time in the Marines, Delilah earned a reputation for toughness in all of the places she worked. While she may not have come off as likable, she proved herself to be trustworthy & one of the best officers you could work with out in the field. It was this type of attitude & acknowledgement from her superior officers that led to her picked to join the Joes.

### 2017 - Present: Mirage

As a member of the Joe Team, Delilah felt on top of the world. After being given the codename Mirage, she was chosen to lead a three man Greenshirt team right outside the city of Blue Valley, Colorado. The Joes suspected that the town was being used as a front for Cobra operations. Along on the mission with her was Blackout, aka Thomas Stoll & Dart, aka Julie Haun.

Early on in the mission, Haun was critically wounded. Mirage instructed both of the recruits to provide cover so that she could steal a vehicle for their getaway car so they could get Haun to safety. But Stoll broke cover, drawing the attention of their pursuers & leading to the death of Haun. She & Stoll made their way to the extraction point, though he was shot in the arm by Cobra sniper in the process. After making their escape & briefing another officer on the mission, Delilah berated Stoll for all of his mistakes before walking off to her quarters.

The next day, Delilah was cleared of any wrongdoing & was asked to continue her training to as a Joe but Stoll had to face a general court martial for his admitted negligence & possible treasonous acts. The mission always remained a soft spot for Delilah, with her refusing to discuss with anyone unless mandated by a superior officer.

Despite her rough past with Thomas & awkward meeting with his brother Dwight (Barrel Roll), she began dating the latter months after graduating to the Joe roster. By this point, Thomas has defected & joined Cobra as one of their lead snipers, killing many Joes in the process. Both her & Dwight felt they were to blame, believing they should have stuck up more for him on his behalf. But Delilah has chosen to let that time of her life go though she is aware that's much harder for Dwight. On the positive side, Dwight has recently proposed & Delilah accepted. However, there has been no final date set due to the nature of their jobs.

## Romantic Relationships

* Dwight Stoll: Boyfriend (2017 - 2020); Fiancée (2020 - )

## Personality

Delilah is opinionated, unforgiving & most of all, overbearing. Anything that feels & looks like slacking will set her off on a tirade. She has a difficult personality to get along with. However, she is one of the best people you can work with out in the field. As a Marine, she prides herself on being the toughest & the best. The only thing is she expects everyone to be the same as well.

When with her family, she casually talks about wars (the ones she can) & the glory of the military. She seems to be the closest to Daphne, as she seemes relaxed around her, which is in contrast to her personality on the job. Her sisters have noted that she acts completely different with her family versus her work colleagues. Though this is most likely due to Delilah's need for respect in the workplace.
