Background

“

A FATE'S TALE:

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 "The Friends of Humanity", a neo inquisition formed by Hawthorne'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.

Trivia

• Vindicta is referred to as "Hornet" in the game files, which was likely an initial placeholder name.
• Vindicta says she was a child during the Salem Witch Trials, as found in one of her hero select lines. This relates to the actual Salem Witch Trials as many of the girls were young, ranging from ages 9 to 20.
• 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.
• Vindicta will occasionally hum the song "Simple Gifts" after getting a kill. This is a song that originated from the Shaker religion in the early 1800s.
