Murdered by Ivan Draski^[4]
- She set up a meet with him, telling him she would buy the Lost Time blaster that he created.
- He put her body and his bloody uniform in a plastic-lined hamper.
- He took her body off the ferry in a motorized inflatable.
- He set her body up in a chair at her house, facing a picture of his wife and daughter and a rose, with the weapon auction on a screen.^[5]
She had killed Draski’s wife and daughter twenty years ago in a brutal slaying rumored to be initiated by a fringe wing of European Watch Network, but actually done for the HSO.^[5]
She brought a bomb on the ferry with her and planned to detonate it after she got the Lost Time device from Draski, thereby killing hundreds of other passengers and creating a diversion to escape.^[5]

Roarke knew of her (as Catherine Delauter) – she hacked through several layers of security on holo software his company was creating, and suspected she had many aliases since she sold her services to the highest bidder. About seven or eight years ago, she contacted Roarke; he was not interested, and warned her off since she was also known as an assassin for hire.
Two years after Roarke turned down Buckley’s offer to work for him, she killed three of his people in an unsuccessful attempt at stealing R&D for one of his projects; he was unable to find her.^[2]
Her mother served in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps, and her father was unknown.^[2]
She was recruited by a covert group, World Intelligence Network.^[2]
She saw WIN fragmenting so she went freelance, taking high-dollar jobs, private or government.^[2]
