Kraken
Ms. Veronica Fraga (a.k.a. Kraken)
Written by: Null Kit
Madame's ruthless formation and rule of The Pack was a true feat on her behalf, but one woman does not a cartel make. Of all the spouses and children of Los Decas that split off and followed her north, one stands above the rest as a testament to the loyalty Madame inspires among her cadre, an ex-wife of one of Los Decas' underbosses by the name of Veronica Fraga, second-in-command of the Pack. For the most part, Veronica is Madame's shadow. She follows the venerable don whever she goes, performing whatever menial errand or chore is thrown her way and on ensuring the comfort and safety of the Pack's leader. Her real asset to the cartel however, becomes apparent when tasked with acting independantly of Madame's presence: If a brutal but untraceable act of gang-violence makes the news, it is likely to be the result of her planning that ensures its success and lack of connection back to the cartel. Should you find yourself working for the Pack, it will be Kraken who acts as Mrs. Johnson on Madame's behalf, and what she lacks in politeness or patience for sentiment or jocularity, she makes up for with a keen and brutally efficient tactical mind.Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Of all the pack's membership, Kraken is unmistakenly among the most cybernetically augmented, posessing broad internal and external enhancements. The precise list is a closely kept secret, but we can very easily deduce the inclusion of extensive partial/full limb replacement, reaction-enhancement, cybereye-systems and ballistic dermal plating, among others. Her general health is otherwise well above-average, and surprisingly, she claims to have no desire or need for the Pack's extensive repetoir of performance-drugs.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
As with most of the founding members of The Pack, Veronica began her involvement with the underworld began with the unfortunate decision to become romantically intimate with an influencial member of Los Decas, a contentious example of metahumanity by the name of Celso Piña Bolaños. In stark contrast to her current, well-founded reputation, Veronica was at the time an inoffensive and meek Ork, submitting to Celso's abuse and violence without retaliation, despite their comparable physical conditions. Her solace was in Madame herself, then an unassuming den-mother to the neglected and hurt families of the cartel.
I do not personally know what would eventually push Veronica's patience and timidness to her limit, as some secrets of the Pack are kept even beyond the likes of myself with the threat of a brutal retaliation should I continue to enquire on it. Whatever occured, it led to Veronica stumbling into Madame's den, held together merely by the desire to make it to the old woman and ask her what she should do, no longer able to tolerate Celso. Madame comforted the poor woman, and ensured that she would suffer Celso's vileness no longer.
I don't have to tell you the specifics for what happened, as the horrific but not undeserved death of Celso Piña Bolaños made public news as his mutilated body drew its last breaths to an audience of dozens of tourists. Veronica herself stripped the surname Celso had imposed on her and returned to her original family-name of Fraga, and took to Madame's side as she moved north with many other vengeful wives and daughters of Los Decas, to found the Pack in our cosy little Raleigh.
Since then, Veronica has became unrecogniseable to her former self as a brutal and unhesitant enforcer of Madame's will, submissive to absolutely nobody save the woman she claims to have saved her.
Education
Veronica's education appears to have ended after high-school graduation. However, fragments recovered from before the Crash 2.0 shows a payment of tuition and partial attendance to a now-closed College of Arts in the name of Fraga.
Employment
Veronica currently works full-time as a personal enforcer for Madame and the Pack
Accomplishments & Achievements
Veronica's brutal execution of her ex-husband Celso only marks the begining of a long and bloody campaign of violence against those enemies of the cartel who have been especially destructive or traitorous in their offense against her new cartel.
Personality Characteristics
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Truth be told, it would be easier to list the talents Kraken as not shown to posess some degree of competance in. There's a reason she is Madame's trusted shadow, after all...
