Biography
Early Life
As a young woman in 1982, while dressed as her male persona Minister Zhang, she was in a relationship with a Chinese man named Chen. Whiterose is working as a translator for a Chinese executive making a deal with some Americans and goes down to have a drink with the executives while Chen waits in their hotel room. When she comes back, Chen sees Whiterose in a dress her mom used to wear, and he calls her beautiful. Earlier that day, Whiterose and Chen had talked about how Whiterose most likely will become an ambassador in the US, which would be perfect as it would mean that they could move there and be themselves, Whiterose being transgender wasn't very accepted in the society they currently lived in and in the USA it would most likely be more accepted. Chen had been forced into marriage by his father but didn't truly love the woman his father had chosen. He was planning on leaving them when Whiterose was going to become an ambassador in the USA.
During a party that Whiterose and Chen are at, Whiterose gets to know that she won't get the job as an ambassador but is granted the job as Minister of State Security of China, which she can't say no to. This makes Chen upset, but Whiterose tries making him happy by telling him that she can change the acceptance of transgender people from the inside. They kiss, and Chen looks happy again. But then he grabs a knife and screams that the world will never be good enough, before committing suicide by slitting his own throat. The blood spills at some white roses that Chen gave Whiterose, and that's how Whiterose came to be.
Seven years later, in 1989, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Whiterose founded a cabal organization known as the Deus Group. The group consists of the most powerful people in the world and uses E Corp as a front for their activities. Since then, Whiterose and Deus have been pulling strings in the world and basically rules it. One of the major world events that Whiterose is behind is Donald Trump being elected for president, as it would help her accomplish her goals.
Season 1
The vigilante hacking organization Dark Army, lead by Whiterose, is planning on cooperating with the vigilante hacking organization Fsociety to perform an attack on the corrupt company E Corp. The attack is known as 5/9, and would damage the company significantly. But eventually the Dark Army withdrew from the attack. In order to get them back again, Fscociety's ringleader Elliot Alderson arranges a meeting with Whiterose to convince her that the Dark Army should participate in the operation. After their three minute conversation, the Dark Army do participate in the attack, and they begin the hack. But as it is revealed, Whiterose is exactly what Fsociety are trying to destroy, "the top one of the one percent", the people who basically rule the world and make it corrupt. The Dark Army is used to make sure that no other vigilante hacking group forms and becomes powerful enough to take her down.
At the end of season 1, Whiterose is shown together with Phillip Price, the CEO of E Corp at a party in a big mansion. They talk about some business, before Whiterose brings up a lawsuit concerning the Washington Township Plant scandal, which occured when toxic waste started leaking out of the plant due to lack of security, which ended up in 26 deaths. Whiterose tells Price that she knows who is behind the lawsuit. Price responds by saying that he'll get the person behind it to stop the lawsuit as he usually does.
Season 2
Season 3
Whiterose is now working on a secret project known as "Stage 2". It is unknown how the operation will be done, but it is supposed to obliterate E Corp. Whiterose manipulates Mr. Robot and Angela Moss, two people who work against E Corp, into financing the attack and cooperating with her. Due to Mr. Robot's involvement, his right-hand Tyrell Wellick also plays a big part in the attack. However, as Mr. Robot is just a more extremist second personality of schizophrenic hacker Elliot Alderson, who is against Stage 2 and believes that it will have horrible effects, Angela starts psychologically abusing Elliot in order to get Mr. Robot as the permanent personality as it would mean that Stage 2 has a higher chance of happening.
At the middle of the season, Dark Army hitman León kidnaps former Fsociety members Mobley and Trenton and murders their friend who tried to escape.
