She is first introduced fighting against a Mafia member alongside Sigrid Korsgaard, much to the surprise of Marcus Seal and his friends in the Children of Valhalla and the Covert Crusaders.

## Personal details

### Personality

Prior to losing Paul, Megan was a sociable person who loved meeting new people. After losing Paul, she became a cold shell of her former self. By the time she reemerged as the Broken Eagle, Megan had become a cold, ruthless, sadistic, cunning and unpredictable force, capable of committing atrocities with little to no remorse, a trait that has left some of her old friends disturbed and concerned for her well-being.

However, she justifies her actions by arguing that she is committing smaller evils to prevent a greater evil, that sacrifices are necessary to prevent a greater evil. Henceforth, she has become an anti-hero of sorts, a woman who sincerely wants to do the right thing, even if it means becoming evil in the eyes of everybody else.
