Arachne Tyrani
Arachne Tyrani was a member of a romanian band of gypsies called the Spider-Clan. She became their leader after her mother was killed by a rival clan's assassin. Using the dark magic practiced by her clan, she hunted down and destroyed the rival clan in revenge. Soon after, she led her clan to make a pact with Arachnos, creating a short-lived group called "the Dark Widow Corps." Because of her overuse of magic, her ears grew to a point,and her body mutated slightly to heal at a rapid rate, which keeps her looking young and in peak physical condition (However, this healing ability is suppressed when in combat because her magical abilities are drained when she is fighting). Arachnos files are sketchy during this period, due to a transition from paper files to digital ones, but it is known that at some point, the Dark Widows dissipated into the Fortunata and Night Widows. Arachne, angry at the loss of her people, began to perform experiments with magic and a Nictus fragment, which led to her becoming impregnated with the Nightmare Triplets, Raine, Seine, and Paine. During childbirth, she fell into a coma from blood loss and a drain on her spirit energy, by Raine's unique abilities, even at her young age. Awakening from a year's coma in an Arachnos hospital, under heavy amnesia, Arachne was inducted into the crab spider program, and her malleable mind was conditioned into that of a cold, deadly combatant, and a natural at black ops. She did not have the free will that volunteers have. Arachne's suit was vacuum sealed and grafted onto her skeleton. Ten years later, she was freed from the suit by Fortunata Sanguine. While wearing the suit, she generated illusions to disguise herself. Now, free of the suit, she does not have to. After being tortured and trapped in the suit, Arache sufferred from personality loss. She didnt feel the way a person normally would about things, and preferred not to talk, using as few words as possible when she did. (Though she has recently taken to speaking more due to her promotion to second-in-command of the Espionage Division.) Also, her time in the suit gave her a permanent itch on her nose, that she has a tendency to scratch until the cartilage is exposed, which subsequently heals itself. She is also very sensitive about her appearance, believing herself to be a freak in the eyes of 'normal' humans, due to her pointed ears. After her promotion to Second-In-Command of the Espionage Division, she managed to research her past in Arachnos files. However, she chooses to live in the present, and use her knowledge of her past life to her advantage.
