## Biography

### Early Life

Growing up, Michelle developed a great respect for the United States Armed Forces, and admired the dedication they put into keeping her country safe. However, she could not shrug off the thought of extraterrestrial presence, or worse, invasion.

### Peacemaker

She went through the world of academia with soaring colors for grades, and afterwards, became an officer in the military, where she honed her strategic prowess, along with mastering espionage and diplomacy.

### EPF

#### Foundation

Michelle went on to found the Elite Protection Federation on a pure principle: protection. Over time, she enlisted ex-military individuals, scientists, and more.

### Helping the Rebels

#### Freeing Lance

*"You'll be working with Agent Clarington. She's a master of stealth, a trait you'll need when infiltrating the base. I assume you've already met her."*
—Michelle Garrington
In early August 2017, Michelle heard from Detective Leo Clark that his lead suspect on a case he was working went by the name of Taras Richtov, a globally known criminal she had been hunting for some time. With this knowledge, she decided to provide aid to the detective, and after revealing that he was working with a group of vigilantes he'd been allying with, she was even more thrilled to help. The nail in the coffin was that their leader was framed by the very man she was hunting.

She had deployed one of the top brass agents, Dot Clarington, to assist Jason Kade, Chris Felix, Kaz Becker and Doug State. Together, the team infiltrated Richtov's mountain base for more evidence. During this mission, Clarington directly downloaded plans for Richtov's warhead missile schematics.

After further investigation, the Rebels brought critical information that could lead to Richtov's imprisonment. This pleased Michelle, as she could now enable a full-on manhunt for the madman.

#### Top Brass

*"Take the Rookie. This would serve as an excellent training session for him."*
—Michelle Garrington
After recent events, Michelle had decided to keep in contact with the Rebels. This paid off, as she had sent yet another top brass, Chris Alex and later, an intern. After this mission, she began to consider volunteering her own services. She continued to inform the Rebels on current events, the most recent being a robbery committed by the Superhuman Mutants.

#### Rise in Recruitment

*"You are now an agent of the EPF. Ensure you keep your identity a secret."*
