Ghost Widow



Background:

Ghost Widow is the head of Arachnos's psychic assassin's and spies the Night Widows. She is distinguishably not a meta-human with ghost like abilities but is an actual ghost. In 1989 Belladonna Vetrano was killed during a mission for Arachnos. The details of the mission are unclear except that she and her team were authorized and prepared to use lethal force. The mission however was a failure and an explosion claim most of the team except for a solider named Paolo Marino, Ghost Widow's love interest and leader of the team's tactical support. After the explosion Arachnos deployed a follow up team lead by a mystic called Mu'Rakir who reported seeing Belladonna's angry ghost slaughter the rest his team. Lord Recluse sent his Mu mystics back to the site to free her from being bound by vengeance and binder her instead to Arachnos. As a result Ghost Widow can freely move beyond the place her death now but they very thing that anchors her to the world of the living also binds her to Lord Recluse's service. Ghost Widow retains her free-will more or less but is compelled to obey Lord Recluse's direct commands. Over the years Ghost Widow has grown tired of her service but can not leave Lord Recluse service. Lord Recluse made her the head of the Night Widow division of Arachnos and she serves in establishing training methods for the Night Widows and Fortunatas both in talent and loyalty. Ghost Widow has a superiority complex as well as noticeable paranoia. She considers herself more talented than the rest of Lord Recluse's inner circle and is always suspicious of them that may try to strike at her in there envy of her talents.

Powers and abilities:

Ghost Widow has the standard ghostly ability to phase-shift through objects, become partially or completely invisible and has the power to fly. She also has the power to siphon the life-force right out a person's body and a few random members of Arachnos have witnessed her reaching into people's chests and ripping out their souls resulting in instant death. Ghost Widow has the power to draw negative energy from the after-life which she can project or radiate as dark blasts. Presumably she still has physical training as a Night Widow but it is rarely seen employed since she has ghostly powers now. Also she has display extra-sensory perception which allows her to sense other ghosts and has a telepathic link to members of the Night Widows and Fortunatas.

Night Widows:

Night Widows are actually composed of two sets. The first group are the Night-Widows that have training in martial combat especially agility, weapon finesse and have expert experience remaining unseen. The Second Group are called the Fortunatas or simple “Seers”. Fortunatas are put through extensive train regiments designed to draw out and enhance psychic powers. A Fortunatas is capable of using telekinesis, mental suggestion, mental domination, clairvoyance and projecting psionic blasts. Night Widows used to be all female but in recent years the Widow training has expanded to men as well. Ghost Widow tend send Night Widows into assassination missions and Fortunatas on spy missions.
