Lore Experts please! Ghost Widow

Ok so I see a lot of threads about players talking about Statesmen and what not, I am personally glad that I think the gist of it is that he is getting killed off? Whatever. Thats not the point.

I am personally way more interested to know everything about what is going on with Ghost Widows story! Okay to be fair I'm really not much into the lore of the game too heavily and I did read her wiki page and what not but does she have a current role now in anything?

She's just so cool! Id love to read really cool neat information about her that anyone would not know exactly. Like info about her character concept designer,did she have an ingame developers playing behind her like Positron? did she appear in any of the cox comic stuff? Is she popular? What is the extent of her powers blah blah.

Neat trivia info that most players wouldn't know would be soo awsome! This topic is ok in general discussions right? I don't post very much. Thanks in advance for any positive replies!

Lesbian cat girls scared her off.

Also, here's a bit of lore I would like to know (not that it matters now) but previously, in the Galaxy City MAGI room there was a pile of bones on a pedestal apparently belonging to the villainess named "Ghost Widow", but Sciorocco's patron arc has her remains in the hands of Arachnos.

Seriously, what's up with that?

Azuria lost them. Duh.

If you're a Ghost Widow fan I'd also suggest playing through Scirocco's patron arcs, since he sends you to talk to her a few times and he has a thing for her.

Ever hear of Barracuda?

As for Ghost Widow lore, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the level 15-19 arc from Seer Marino which is all about how Ghost Widow came to be... after a fashion, or the 35+ Cimeroran Sister Airlia arc, which has certain implications regarding Ghost Widow as well.

Another side arc which doesn't deal with Ghost Widow directly, but has ties would be the level 10-14 Veluta Lunata arc. It's about Arachnos and Ghosts.

Hope these help!

OH! Also, her Praetorian self is still alive. Her name is Belladona Vetrano and is a member of the Resistance.

I couldn't agree more.

If by "cute" you mean "gives her the opportunity to totally take advantage of him," then yes. She's evil.

She also appears in Deadalus's arc in Cimerora. You fight her.

Wow ok that part about Bella is soo epic. I knew that NPC was too cool the brief moment I fought with her. The dynamic hair should have been the obvious sign! And it does very much Im going to actully aim at these arcs for the first time so thank you very much.

She is a fascinating character - and her patron arc is one of my favorites.

I loved seeing Ghost Widow in Pocket D. I actually got to kiss her on the cheek at a Christmas party on Liberty several years ago. Not sure at what point my boldness surpassed my self-preservation instinct, but she was very fun about it and didn't banhammer me. I even got an emoted smile out of her. My lips were numb for about fifteen minutes, though. I think I still have some screenshots of it in my old CoH files.

This.

Or as the leader of another survivors encampent, hidden in the wilds and fighting the DE on their terms, free from the rule of Cole. Would make for an interesting interesting higher level Praetorian zone.


(Edit: Yeah, I comma splice. Enjoy. )

Azuria's in Atlas Park. For her to lose something from Galaxy City would be quite a feat.

unless The REAL magi vault is located somewhere else, I think it was destroyed by the Shivans when they hit Galaxy...

I have it as an icon so it's easy to link. I have no idea where Liz's original piece is though.
