A victim of John Hathorne during the Salem Witch Trials, Vindicta got a second chance of life when her spirit was brought back to the mortal plane during the first Maelstrom (the event that introduced the supernatural to the public at large).
Waging a one ghost war against "The Friends of Humanity", a neo inquisition formed by Hathorne's descendants; Vindicta looks to keep the supernatural safe from Hathorne's ilk, and she isn't afraid to stack as many bodies as needed to do it.
Overview
Vindicta's motivation in the ritual is to wipe out John Hathorne's bloodline and the Friends of Humanity.[1][2][3][4] Her main goal seems to be getting revenge on Hathorne's bloodline, with the destruction of the Friends of Humanity being a side benefit.[5]
Biography
Vindicta says she uses her given name.[6] Puritans in the 17th Century were known to give unusual names to their children, as a way of honoring their religion.[7][8]
Vindicta says she was a child who was "unjustly condemned" during the Salem Witch Trials.[9] John Hathorne, who's mentioned in Vindicta's background, was known in the actual Salem Witch Trials for questioning accusers and the accused in trial, often leaving the accused guilty.[10]
Vindicta has been dead for roughly 200 years[11] before returning to life during the first Maelstrom (50 years before the events of the game).[12]
Vindicta's main target is the current leader of the Friends of Humanity, also named John Hathorne, who is a descendant of the original Hathorne who killed her.[13][14] Vindicta has killed John Hathorne's brother while he was on a speedboat,[15] and assassinated someone else during the Boston Marathon.[16]
Vindicta's exploits have been told about in Ixia. According to 
Apollo, Vindicta is called "Hasha Vogali", which is Ixian for "Death's Whisper".[17]
Personality
Vindicta says she's not a witch because, in her eyes, she doesn't have wants or dreams: only a lust for revenge.[18]
After returning from the dead, Vindicta says she was "lost" for a while before finding her purpose of revenge.[19] Despite being consumed by revenge, Vindicta ultimately sees her actions as her "saving life".[20][21]
Information
Vindicta will occasionally hum the song Simple Gifts after using a shot of her ultimate.[22] This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
Character Relationships
Vindicta and Grey Talon have hunted the Friends of Humanity together and regard each other as friends.[23][24][25]
Vindicta calls Grey Talon by his first name and believes that, if her father was like Grey Talon, she would never have died during the Salem Witch Trials.[26]

Ivy is naive and warns her that, if she doesn't smarten up soon, someone she cares about will be hurt.[39] 
Haze warns Vindicta to "quit while she's ahead", because murdering John Hathorne will "galvanize" the Friends of Humanity.[40] She calls Vindicta a "domestic terrorist".[41]- Apollo commends Vindicta for her war against the Friends of Humanity, although he dislikes her dishonorable tactics.[42][43]
