well, let's see! vanessa has had a colorful past to say the least. she's basically her own type of reformed villain, though working for the "good" guys as part of a government agency has it's share of blurred lines. for a while before all of that, she was working as a mercenary (you know, after killing the man who had been using her as his personal killing machine for years... among other things) for whomever was willing to pay top dollar. that's how she earned a name for herself as a pretty infamous assassin. we could work something out before the coaltion, or maybe afterwards if there was ever a reason mallory would need to be investigated by them? i'm spitballing, so i'm really open for whatever!
