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.
Storylines
One From Many (To be added)
- After spending some months around her group of heroic friends, Elle decided to attempt a new start for her career, and joined the New Leaf initiative for rehabilitating metahuman rogues and adopting them into Paragon's defenses. She was granted a probationary hero license, working under close supervision in the Rikti warzone, where her penchant for outright violence could be put to good use, and inside Paragon City only under the direct supervision of a full task force on Phalanx mandate. Though the restrictions grated on her, Elle maintained her heroic turn for several weeks, gaining a semblance of respect among the City's heroes.
- Eventually, however, Elle was forced to accept that continuing as a hero was suppressing a part of herself that demanded freedom, and she would have to choose working alongside her friends or following her inherently capricious and renegade nature. She returned to the Rogue Isles and resumed her previous line of work as an assassin, adding more grievous charges to her warrants in Paragon and earning a lifelong enmity from Citadel, who had sponsored her to the program.
