Once a seemingly usual woman named Allison May her fate was twisted when an evil organisation abducted her. She was held captive in a dar cell for a long time. They used her for their experiments that included al multitude of tortures like injecting her different poisons, holding demonical and necromantic rituals with her as the victim, testing her reaction to different drugs including Superadine and putting her under the pressure of different psychic powers. The latter gave them the opportunity to be able to brainwash her since the Superadine injections triggered her sleeping mutation. But her body was still weak so before they could really use her for their goals she died as her body was no longer able to put up with all these experiments.

While trying to dispose of her dead body the mutation inside her was still alive and used the remains of the drugs, the poisons and even the traces of demonic and necromantic energy to change her organism to something else. Upon noticing that the seemingly dead subject was undergoing visible changes they kept it in a secure cell to watch the whole transformation unfold. For weeks her body was in a state of death and decay but at the same time sort of alive. Eventually the transformation was finished but it came with the side effect of an absolute loss of memory. When she "woke up" from being dead she didn't even remember having been abducted, tortured and used for experiments. The scientists of the evil organisation were amazed of what became of her. She looked like a poison demon, her pale skin was covered in light decay and a visible poison aura steamed from her body. Her once golden blonde hair became luminous, flickering in different shades of green. But she was still weak and apparently confused about how she ended up in some kind of lab cell.

The evil organization finished their brainwashing by planting false memories into her to be able to use her for their plans to destroy Arachnos and take its place. So they provided her with a bit more Superadine that made her discover her new powers of summoning undead minions and producing toxins and alkaloids within her body. To test her new abilities they sent her on a very easy mission to cause a distraction for some of their agents but the PPD had learned of the plot and since she was inexperienced she was caught in the crossfire. She didn't die but was arrested and put in the Zig due to her powers and since she looked so demonic.

Due to the power suppressants in the Zig she wasn't able to develop, but she learned a lot about the Rogue Isles and felt, that if she was ever able to get out of the Zig she'd go there and become powerful on her own, as she also learned, that the organisation that had sent her on that training mission had been crushed by Arachnos. So if she ever got out of here she'd be the weaver of her own fate.

How fortunate that it was Arachnos that decided to take her under their wings by breaking her out of the zig because she seemed to be one of their Destined Ones. But while at first she felt comfortable with growing into her supposed role, she learned quickly, that there was so much more she could accomplish if she would just use Arachnos as a means to become more powerful. Powerful enough to make it on her own - without being under the command of Lord Recluse, powerful enough to maybe even surpass him one day...

So after leaving the safety of Mercy Island she set out on the journey to find out, what her true destiny was and to take it into her own hands. Someone on the Zig had once talked about Port Oakes so whyx not pay that city a visit and cause some trouble there? It would certainly show Arachnos what she was capable of but her journey through Port Oakes also taught her, what she was able to achieve for herself. And she decided that she would strife for power by all means necessary - even joining the infighting. But power alone wouldn't do the trick. She would need knowledge as well. Knowledge about all the factions, their squabbles and issues, their exploits and weaknesses. Working for other factions would grant her that knowledge.

Her experience grew and during her time in Cap au Diable and Sharkhead she made herself a name not only within the ranks of Arachnos but also within the gangs and factions. Some call her dastardly, others call her the face of evil and others call her merciless. She doesn't care. She prefers to go by the title "The Unholy Blackened Soul" but that people already shiver in fear merely hearing her name fuels her motivation to strive for more power. As soon as she finishes her business on Sharkhead she plans to pay Nerva a visit. Word on the street has it, that a lot of opportunities over there are ripe for picking. Nerva turned out to be rather complicated, after following a few tips that made her proof her malicious villainy once again she ended up in St. Martial to rough up the family, maybe rob some of their casinos and to cause some other mayhem here and there. Not that she hadn't been aware of that already but her collaboration with Operative Rutger once again proved, that Arachnos wasn't an organization to be trusted at all. She was better off on her own, utilizing their network and resources along the way as she deems fit. And if some Arachnos folks decided to pay her for some dirty deeds, then why not? That didn't mean she had to trust them. She just doesn't care where or for who to cause havoc. Eventually she'll leave all of them behind anyways by becoming an Incarnate. Her journey of seeking power on the isles may have come to an end - but there are still loose end to tie up, beatings to dish out and mysteries to solve - especially on her way to become an even more powerful Incarnate. Recently Lord Recluse himself admitted she was no longer a mere tool and she was now allowed to seek her own destiny. And that's just what she's up to now...
