She was taken from her home as an adolescent and used as a covert means of intelligence gathering. Physically she was kept in little more the a cage, while mentally she was a prisoner in some strangers body. She saw and felt everything her host did, but had no power to control or even communicate with them.  She experienced countless deaths and tortures through the forms of others, after witch she would be grilled for information before being given any chance for rest.<br/>She finally experienced mercy from one of her caretakers. He was a psychic himself though his powers were modest at best. What he could do though was communicate with her and share control of his body with her if she was possessing him. It was through him that she escaped her prison and experienced the closest thing to happiness she might ever find.  The two were lovers of a sort and lived for years together without arousing suspicion. They were eventually discovered. Her lover was executed while she watched through his eyes.<br/>Her consciousness was shunted out of his dead body and back to hers. Her body had died while she was away and she was unable to fully control it. She watched herself be experimented on through a dream like state.  Her body was used as an incubator for the Roseblood virus and it became her new host.<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>She can 'ride' living victims of the virus and control dead ones. Normally zombies do not use weapons or XM suits, but in areas where the zombies have widespread control she has been able to construct  forms made of well preserved body parts and cybernetic enhancements. These forms may incorporate XM suit abilities or weaponry into them. The above picture is an example of what The Black rose might look like in such a situation.<br/><br/><strong>Note:</strong>The existence of The Black Rose is largely unknown. None of the agents are aware of the consciousness behind the Zombies. (I think this makes me the defacto partner for zombie rape scenes as well)
