LGN-06
LGN-06, or "Elle" to her friends, is one of only eight prototypes created as part of Project LEGION: a proposed army of mechanical soldiers linked into a hive network. The proposal was dismissed by Arachnos, and the small lab that presented it, Amaranth Industries, promptly folded. The eight prototypes were sold as scrap to alleviate the debts incurred by their creation.
Elle was sold as part of a lot of spare equipment to Black Heart Memorial hospital in Sharkhead, where she functioned as a mechanical aide for several months, during which she became familiar with synthskin: an expensive and realistic skin used at the hospital to treat burns among the meta population. Elle taught herself to manipulate the material, eventually disguising herself as the hospital administrator, murdering her, and leaving the hospital without raising an alarm.
Her talent for disguise and lethal precision served her for years as a freelance assassin in the snake-eat-snake world of the Rogue Isles, and her reputation eventually brought her to the attention of Arachnos. Under the ominous wing of Black Scorpion she rose through the ranks as a devastating precision weapon, capable of bringing down the most dangerous superhuman marks for the right price.
