Biography
Cassandra Lilya grew up in Rook City, where she
learned at a very early age that crime actually paid
quite well and was far easier than silly things like
“time” or “hard work.” At night, she broke into
supposedly secure areas and plundered riches under
the identity of Ermine. During the day, she used her
ill-gotten gains to fuel an extravagant lifestyle. When
the world’s largest diamond went on exhibition
at the Rook City museum, she couldn’t
resist stealing it. This proved to be her
undoing as it caused her to cross
paths with the hero Wraith,
who defeated her and ended
the secret of her dual life. While
she stayed out of jail, the revealing
of her secret identity left her
reputation in tatters. Her hatred
of Wraith, as much as her skill as
a thief, were what caused Baron
Blade to offer her a spot on his villain
team, the Vengeful Five. When that
team eventually fell apart, Ermine went
back to a life of thievery, though she
would occasionally deign to help other
villains with their schemes, particularly if
it meant a payout.
Capabilities and Motivations
Ermine is extremely self-centered and rarely has
long term plans. While she’s quite adept at making
a complex plan to bypass a security system, she
tends not to think much beyond the acquisition of
whatever shiny thing caught her eye. The thievery
itself is what excites her, with the proceeds funding
a life of luxury. A gifted acrobat, sneak, and con
artist, Ermine can get into many “secure” locations,
and when she comes across something that has a
bit more security, she’s happy to have someone act
as a distraction for her. When things go wrong she’s
extremely good at improvising her way out of the
consequences, leaving others with the aftermath.
Lately, she has teamed up with Fright Train for her
heists, with his muscle and one-track mind pairing
well with her stealth and skill.
Upgrades
Taking a lesson from Wraith, Ermine has been
acquiring a variety of gadgets. Instead of the fashion
disaster of Wraith’s clunky utility belt, Ermine’s
jewels can be used in many ways: granting her
temporary invisibility, creating holograms, deflecting
lasers, and more. Truly a girl’s best friend.
