Bio
Background – HEMLOCK was a struggling graduate student before the agency recruited her, she was unemployed and needed to pay off her crippling student loans. CSIS analysts noticed discrepancies and initially though it was a foreign cyber probe and terminated the communication once they got a link back. Rather than waste such talent CSIS offered HEMLOCK to The Agency in exchange for the missing money from their accounts and the infiltration software she developed. During her graduate studies HEMLOCKlearned a lot about poisonous plants and materials and shows great affinity to the craft.
TEMPEST kept her as an operative after the Decension and together they have been trying to finish off the remnants of the old Conspiracy. She is now a dark rumor in the minds of TEMPEST’s enemies and a nightmare for any connected systems due to her particularly sophisticated expert system that keeps her aware of any unusual activity worldwide. She is also a potent problem for anyone trying to access TEMPEST’s network and communications (which are massively encrypted and written in a particular fashion full of jargon and callsigns).
Description – HEMLOCK is a fairly unremarkable young woman, she doesn’t care much for her appearance preferring to be a virtual presence. To that end she rarely wears anything nicer than sweatpants (or jeans if she has to go outside). Her hair is frequently disheveled and full of tangles and her clothes are often wrinkled from several days straight of wearing them.
Attitude – HEMLOCK is fairly newagy and enjoys her garden, she is possibly slightly deranged though few would recognize it unless they spend time with her.
