I'll make the world a better place, one body at a time.

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. Her main goal seems to be getting revenge on Hathorne's bloodline, with the destruction of the Friends of Humanity being a side benefit.

Biography

Vindicta says she uses her given name. Puritans in the 17th Century were known to give unusual names to their children, as a way of honoring their religion.

Vindicta says she was a child who was "unjustly condemned" during the Salem Witch Trials. John Hathorne was known in the real Salem Witch Trials for questioning accusers and the accused in trial, often leaving the accused guilty.

Vindicta has been dead for roughly 200 years before returning to life during the first Maelstrom, 50 years before the ritual. She calls herself a "ghost", though she believes that's a simplification of her condition. After the initial shock of finding herself in early 20th century New York, she was lost for a while before finding a new purpose in hunting down the Friends of Humanity.

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. Vindicta has killed John Hathorne's brother while he was on a speedboat, and assassinated someone else during the Boston Marathon.

At some point in recent years, Vindicta started working with Grey Talon, as he was also hunting the Friends of Humanity to avenge his murdered family.

Vindicta's exploits have become known in Ixia. According to Apollo, Vindicta is called "Hasha Vogali", which is Ixian for "Death's Whisper".

Personality

Vindicta is jaded and pragmatic with a single-minded drive for revenge. She doesn't believe in the law or the government, or that there will be any justice for the crimes of the Friends of Humanity unless people like her and Grey Talon take action against them. Even if Vindicta kills Hathorne, she intends to keep killing until the Friends of Humanity are exterminated as she has "all the time in the world". Vindicta also thinks there are more people worth killing besides the Friends of Humanity, although she hasn't considered becoming a professional assassin.

After returning from the dead, Vindicta says she was "lost" for a while before finding her purpose of revenge. She ultimately sees her actions as her "saving life". She thinks naiveté is dangerous because it can get people hurt.

Some heroes find Vindicta's methods too extremist, even if they sympathize with her cause.

Appearance

Vindicta appears as a spectral light blue-skinned young woman with glowing blue eyes, long braided blueish-white hair with a red ribbon, dark purple lips, and black mascara running down her face. She wears a red jacket with a black necktie over a dark blue skirt with ragged edges. She carries stakes, bullets and a bell on a large belt. She's barefoot, which other characters comment on. Her weapon is a sniper rifle.

Information

Vindicta will occasionally hum the song Simple Gifts after using a shot of her ultimate. This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
