Katelyn O’Conner Age: 36
Race: Human
Occupation: Mercenary/Assassin
Allegiance: Nahash/Neutral
Appearance: Katelyn is tall and slim with an olive complexion and toned muscles. She is as beautiful as she is deadly with full lips and a slim face with dark brown eyes known for lulling people into a false sense of security. Her dark sleek hair fall just past her shoulders and is worn in a variety of styles.
Katelyn’s wardrobe consists of everything to formal business wear to casual jeans and tops to alluring dresses that leave very little for imagination. The outfit she wears depends on the job at hand.
Personality: Cunning, manipulative and cold hearted are a few things you could say about Katelyn. Always one to get her own way she does not respond well to the word ‘no’. She knows she’s beautiful and she holds herself with an air of confidence that men find difficult to resist. She loves to flirt and is known for mixing business with pleasure.
She is quick to anger but is careful how to vent it, choosing to get under someone’s skin rather than fighting outright with them. She never leaves a job unfinished. She is a loyal friend but a very deadly foe, anyone foolish enough to underestimate her usually ends up dead.
History: Katelyn was born into a wealthy family in San Diego. Her father was a lawyer and worked long hours while her mother remained at home, caring for Katelyn. She was a very spoilt child and was very manipulative from a young age and developed and incredible skill for getting exactly what she wanted, however at the age of 10 her parents split up, and her and her mother returned to her mother’s roots in L.A.
True to himself, Katelyn’s father had nothing to do with her once the divorce had been filed through, except pay for her school fees. Katelyn spent her high school year’s fighting with everyone in the all girls’ school her father paid for, returning each evening to the lower class end of Los Angeles to find her mother with a different man each night, stinking of alcohol and white powder dusting her nose.
Unable to cope with her mother she would spend her evening on the streets loitering on corners and fighting in gangs. Her fiery attitude and natural ability to manipulate was picked up on by a head hunter who worked for a notorious gang leader named Marius. Marius took Katelyn under his wing teaching her everything she needed to know about running guns, drugs and anything else the government tagged as ‘illegal’ or ‘taxable’ but Katelyn’s heart wasn’t in running a business. It was in the fight, the adrenaline fuelled battles that determined who ran the block.
So Marius handed her over to his mechanic. A Russian called Anton whose sole purpose in life was to kill. He taught Katelyn everything she knows today about fighting, her hand to hand combat was already good but he refined it and then taught her how to handle a gun correctly and how to kill quickly but also how to make a death last.
Her first kill was at the age of 18, her target was a bent police officer who made the mistake or trying to raid Marius’ younger brother’s house. Even now, she can remember the moment he had walked into his apartment to find her sitting on his couch and had frozen in the middle of the room staring at her. He opened his mouth to ask how she got in, got as far as “How-” before she shot him. It was a clean kill, a quick kill. A bullet between the eyes. She had expected to feel something, remorse maybe?
Confessing in Anton about feeling nothing he had merely smiled at her. “Dealing death is easy Kitty, for those with no conscience.” Though she resented him for saying it, she could not deny it was true. By the age of 23 she was a renowned assassin and she was haunting L.A.s shadows. Though when not on a job, she was normally in a dark club on the dance floor or exchanging sweet words with rich men. It was this activity that caught the eye of a Chthon, fascinated by the way men seemed to coil themselves round her finger within moments of her opening her mouth Nagendra introduced Katelyn to the true stalker of shadows.
Katelyn was not afraid of the vampire, which only enticed him more, and their relationship blossomed, though he never bit her, despite her constant asking. After a year or two Katelyn left Marius and found herself a loose job working for the Nahash who she had been introduced to by Nagendra, but the Chthon had his own ideas for Katelyn. And after several years working with the Nahash and learning about the supernatural world, Nagendra offered her another job. A job that would turn the entire world on its feet.
He had gotten her noticed by the DPA, slipped in honey coated words and given gentle nudges and before Katelyn knew it she had been hired by the DPA to work with their team in the Brecon Beacons, Wales. Had anyone else asked her, Katelyn would have refused, but she loved Nagendra, and he knew it. Her mission was simple. Keep your head down, do whatever they ask you to. Which she did, to an extent unable to cope with the military lifestyle she found herself being locked in solitude for hours on end and always in the middle of a fight, but her rebellious nature was overlooked by the Commander Sadie Smith, because she was good in the field, and she would fight for everyone in the battle.
After almost a year of fighting alongside and within the DPA, Katelyn found herself becoming quite attached to them, and it was at this point that Nagendra called her, that he asked her to betray them, to shut down their security system and prevent them from reactivating it. She tried to refuse, but there was an edge in Nagendra voice that made her agree to it, fleeing the base once she had dreading what was to come.
Nagendra found her days later, slumped in the corner of an abandoned pub as the darkest war mankind would ever know began to grip the world, he moved towards her to comfort her, when she looked up at him hate in her eyes. That was the last thing Nagendra saw before the UV bullet hit him. The vampire she had come to love dead, the DPA virtually destroyed, Katelyn had nowhere left to run except home.
Catching one of the last few flight back to America she caught up with some of her old Nahash contacts and runs the odd job for them but on the whole she keeps a low profile while she waits for either the DPA or the Chthons to come for her.
