Background
The woman who would one day become Ma'isah Morgan lived a fairly ordinary life… for a girl born in Afghanistan. She lived life as a good Muslim and dutiful daughter, went to school, received an education and just when it was time to marry, the Taliban came into power. Her marriage arrangements were changed and she was give to a farmer named Abdul. Now, to be clear, life before the Taliban wasn't wonderful. As a woman there was much she couldn't do. Life after, though, reduced her to nothing more than property. She worked her husband's fields in a full chadri, nearly fainting from heat exhaustion. She cooked his meals, kept his house, and satiated his lusts… when he wasn't satiating his lusts elsewhere.
Ma'isah also served as the recipient of his anger. It got especially bad during Ramadan. Abdul didn't take well to fasting. It made him cranky. Over time, Ma'isah, who knew how to read and write, knew how to do figures, understood something of the world around her thanks to her schooling, grew angry herself. She planned. She plotted. She waited for her moment.
It came in the form of a man named Antonio Beno. Abdul, you see, farmed poppy. When Afghanistan was liberated from Taliban rule, he lost his major buyer. So, he worked out a new deal with a certain branch of the American mafia. Things seemed to be going well, but Abdul got greedy. Tony was sent to visit the farm and negotiate a new deal. Of course, negotiation in this case meant putting a bullet in Abdul's head. Imagine Tony's surprise when Abdul dropped dead during dinner, before he could do the job.
Tony picked up Abdul's tea, sniffed it, and complimented Ma'isah on a job well done. Very calmly, he arranged for a more cooperative farmer to take over Abdul's land. Then Tony took Ma'isah with him to America. He saw potential in her. Besides, under the chadri she was kinda hot.
Back in the states, Tony trained Ma'isah. The regimine was brutal but Ma'isah was eager to learn. Money, power, happiness… everything she was denied was now within her grasp. Plus, she discovered she enjoyed killing. It gave her a rush. A thrill. Tony was an excellent teacher during the day and an excellent lover at night. He truly did love her, too, though she refused to marry him. She would never again put herself under the thumb of a man. Not in marriage, anyway.
Two years after arriving in America, Tony judged Ma'isah ready. She got her first assignment. It went perfectly, too. No one suspected an Arab woman, even one wearing American clothes, of being a Mafia assassin. She and Tony worked as a team, killing enemies of the family in the states and abroad. Their targets were human and demon, both. Ma'isah was, quite honestly, deliriously happy.
Then came the tragedy. It wasn't government agents or the police or even rival crime lords. It was a wet night on a dark road and Tony was driving too fast, like usual. They had to swerve to avoid a deer. They went off the road, over the cliff. He died instantly. Ma'isah came close.
The family wasn't ready to write her off, though. They had been financing some science geek's experiments with cybernetic technology. A cybernetically enhanced assassin seemed like a good deal, so they put her under the knife. When she woke up she was faster, tougher… she had the technology inside of her.
Ma'isah spent six months in physical therapy, learning how her new body worked. The mob owned docs judged her ready to go out into the world. The shrinks figured she was, too. So, now she's out there. Ma'isah Morgan just moved to Vegas. She'll be operating from there, though her assignments might take her anywhere.
