Lien Neville/Story

Profile
Ever since she can remember, Lien has undergone special training and been reared in the ways of being an 'assassin.' The syndicate she was a part of was destroyed by the underworld's largest syndicate, 'Addis', and she lost many comrades. Swearing to single-handedly battle 'Addis' to the death, Lien went into hiding. She failed to eliminate Duke, the boss of 'Mephistopheles', a syndicate subordinate to 'Addis', and, in an ironic twist of fate, found herself recruited by her would-be target who realized the worth of her abilities. She is currently employed by Duke to penetrate Addis's inner sanctum.

Story
When Lien was ten years old, her parents were killed by Duke due to her father trying to escape his terms with the Addes syndicate. Though Duke was under orders to kill everyone on site, Lien was spared and then raised by her parents' murderer to become an elite assassin under his employment. Since then, she swore to avenge her parents' deaths and made Duke her target of unrelenting hate -later with deeper feelings for him due to the time they spent together. Under Duke's orders, she fought Alba and Soiree's mentor, Fate, in a fair match that resulted with his death.
