Madame Phoenix

**Madame Phoenix** is a former assassin employed by the Republic's Intelligence Agency before becoming the Indigo Syndicate Warden. As a warden for the Indigo Syndicate, she is described as excessively cruel, even by both RUC and Indigo Syndicate standards, brutally torturing the prisoners when she can, sometimes for its own sake.

There is also a myth of her floating around of having the resurrective powers of a phoenix, likely due to her being the only one to return alive from a failed assassination attempt on Leader C.

## Personality

Extremely cold and brutal, she's not one for words, usually being straight and to the point with what she says. Besides assassinations, torture is another area of expertise for her, and she relishes any opportunity to inflict as much pain on her victims as possible. She would even demand that any other prisoners in the vicinity watch, lest they be subject to it themselves next.

She doesn't particularly care for the syndicate's propaganda or incompetency, only looking for the next opportunity to murder or torture someone.

## History

Formerly a member of the Republic's Intelligence Agency, she was often sent on missions to eliminate anyone who was marked for death by the Republic or the agency. This can range from activist leaders, to "difficult" politicians, or even to government officials of foreign countries. She's been known for her brutal methods of executing her targets, some evidence even suggesting that they were tortured to death rather than killed on the spot. She was considered one of the top assassins for the Intelligence Agency.

After [event], the Intelligence Agency continuously sent hundreds of their top assassins to eliminate Leader C [real name omitted], the leader of Country C. Madame Phoenix was was included amongst them. Infamously, every single assassination attempt failed, and all of the Intelligence Agency's best assassins died in their attempts. Madame Phoenix did not succeed either; the details are unknown, but she was left with a severe injury on her face that warrants her wearing a mask. However, she's known to be the only one to have returned alive, if permanently scarred. Due to this, many people have been passing around stories of her being able to come back to life like a phoenix.

After her failure to assassinate Leader C, Madame Phoenix nevertheless stayed with the Intelligence Agency for a little longer. She was assigned briefly to help the RUC's efforts in conquering the Peninsula, by acting as a warden for one of the RUCamps, where she met Tremaine. After she returned to The Republic, she formally resigned from the Agency, and later on joined the Indigo Syndicate as their warden.

## Evaluation

As far as syndicate members is concerned, she may possibly be one of the more dangerous ones; this is not something our archivists say lightly. Despite her failure to assassinate Leader C, she's still been very successful in countless of her previous assignments, being a capable martial artist with an exceedingly brutal method of executing her targets. Should one end up in a confrontation with her, watch her movements closely, and be prepared to run if need be. Keeping your distance when you can should also be key, as utmost caution is advised.

Should one manage to kill her, however, do not worry about her coming back to life. The "phoenix" story is just a myth.
