Appearance

W is a female Sarkaz recognized by the red horns at the sides of her head. After joining Babel Tower, she exchanged her mercenary clothing for a gray outfit accented in the red of her horns, while retaining her modified weapons 50 54.

• Carries a heavily modified Originium grenade launcher and a firearm 50.
• Uses wigs and contemporary local clothing to disguise herself during covert work in Columbia 271.
• Employs specialized mobility equipment for rapid rooftop movement in Chernobog 153.

Personality

W presents herself with a mischievous or malicious grin, particularly when springing a trap or provoking an opponent. She treats battle as a game of preparation, misdirection, and timing; enemies who assume her explosives are straightforward attacks are often already standing inside her real trap 37 38 153.

Her humor and apparent recklessness conceal a pragmatic, calculating survivor. When captured or outmatched, she stalls, feeds opponents misleading information, and relies on traps or allies rather than surrendering control of the situation 47. She can also become fatalistic, once considering dying alongside a superior enemy force because she saw little point in survival; Ines challenged this outlook directly 51.

Despite her mercenary background, W forms strong loyalties. She trusts Ines to support her traps, worries over Roy's safety, and later prioritizes rescuing captives over recovering valuable goods 36 47 181 273.

History

Mercenary Career in Kazdel

W entered the Sarkaz Mercenary Corps and quickly became known across Kazdel as a rising mercenary. Her reputation was strong enough that other mercenaries treated her fight with Roy as a major betting event, while the Confessors had investigated and attempted to recruit her before she refused them 35 38.

She sparred with Roy as part of his acceptance test into the mercenary corps. W opened with bombs and a modified grenade launcher, refusing to treat the fight as a formal duel, but Roy ultimately disarmed and defeated her without seriously harming her 35. Although she lost, she later resolved to protect Roy during their mission and continued to work alongside him against Theresis's forces 36 37.

During the fighting around Rhodes Island, W and Ines were separated from their group after an ambush. W helped Ines regain her bearings, acted as bait for a prepared Originium Slug trap, and relied on Ines to capture their surviving opponent 45 47. When faced with a stronger organized enemy force, W initially intended to sacrifice herself with looted explosives, but Ines intervened 51.

Babel Tower

After treatment for her injuries, W chose to join Babel Tower rather than leave with Hedley, Ines, and the mercenaries who declined membership. Kal'tsit issued her Babel Tower identification card, numbered B214 56.

As a Babel Tower member, W became Roy's assigned teammate for a mission at the Kazdel–Yan border. Her new uniform marked her change in affiliation, though she kept her grenade launcher, firearm, and explosives 50 54. She later operated independently on missions connected to Amiya's group while Roy remained with Babel Tower's main forces 84.

Reunion Movement Operations

Following the later reorganization of forces in Chernobog, W served as a Reunion Movement officer and commander. She attacked the Core Research Institute with explosives, fought the Ursus Third Army, and led a tactical squad during the operation against Marquis Boris 166 168 189.

When Boris redirected his mobile-city module toward Lungmen, W took responsibility for the demolition plan. Roy supplied a large quantity of Originium explosives, and W positioned them around the module's reactor. At the critical moment, she detonated the charges, destroying the reactor and halting the module at the border 192 200.

Church of the Deep Incident

W infiltrated a Chernobog church affected by deep-sea forces, planted explosives throughout the building, and used them to disrupt a cult ritual. She repeatedly lured the priest into prepared blast zones, damaging him and forcing him to reveal his monstrous incarnation 153 154. Roy and Skadi arrived to confront the creature, after which W joined them in investigating the church further 155.

Columbia Operation

As a high-ranking officer of the Ursus Reunion Movement, W led a covert operation in Columbia to investigate the disappearance of a researcher, a Reunion squad, and their supplies 270. She captured a Columbian for interrogation, evaded surveillance, and used bombs to destroy part of a mobile-city module beneath pursuing mercenaries 270 271.

W later returned with Saria and chose to prioritize rescuing captives over recovering valuable goods. She then led a special operations team into a prison research institute, breaching its security and dividing her forces to search for the prisoners 273 278.

Relationships

• Roy — Former sparring opponent and later assigned teammate. W became concerned for his safety after her defeat, and Roy later entrusted her with major demolition operations 35 36 50 200.
• Ines — Teammate and trusted accomplice in field operations. W relied on Ines to complete traps and capture enemies, while Ines repeatedly protected W when she was injured or reckless 45 47 49 51.
• Hedley — Leader of the mercenary squad W temporarily served with. He remained wary of Roy's motives and monitored the pair during their mission 36.
• Skadi — Allied with W during the Church of the Deep incident and later supported W's mission to pursue Marquis Boris 154 182.
• Saria — Columbia-operation ally. W accepted Saria's support and assigned her to her own group during the prison infiltration 273 278.
• Kal'tsit — Issued W's Babel Tower identification card when W formally joined the organization 56.
