Age: Unknown

Still somewhat debated, La Muerte is believed to be female. Although due to extensive kevlar padding, a heavy duster, and a sinister sounding voice synthesizer, some still believe it is a feminine male. There are also suspicions that La Muerte is multiple people, rather than a single person as each time La Muerte appears, their face paint is in a different pattern though some repeats have occurred. 

Personality: People who have survived an encounter with La Muerte couldn’t hear much on account of the many explosions but some report that La Muerte is very preachy and apparently very religious. Among her acts of terrorism, she usually preaches about how society as fallen to far and must return to embrace “Him”. Whether this means she is a Children of Atom believer or some Old World religion worshiper, it isn’t certain. Probably the nicer thing about La Muerte is that she does not discriminate targets with the exception of children a few times. Whether La Muerte has a soft spot or likes to foster in fear is uncertain. However, it is likely the latter as La Muerte doesn’t seek to eradicate a populace, only inflict losses and scare them.

Backstory:
La Muerte is a self-labeled terrorist that has recently been causing quite a lot of havoc and grief for both parties of the war: NCR and Legion. Some suspect that La Muerte may have ties to Vegas or be an associate of this Muted Man. However, others would argue that the Strip is a lot harder target to hit than the several installations that La Muerte has visited. Origins of La Muerte have been as difficult to determine as her motive. Some say La Muerte has come up from Mexico, a convict on the run. Others think she might be an exiled Boomer due to the love of explosives. However a few had noticed the striking similarities with a character from Drake Tungsten, Chrono Cowboy, including the name San La Muerte. Thus, a few believe that she just might be crazy.

La Muerte has been running rampant on and off for the past year now. There are sections where she terrorizes NCR territory before vanishing for about two weeks and then reappearing in Legion territory, terrorizing their population. She always leaves a calling card behind of some kind, usually a small hallmark card painted over with the La Muerte face and some holy verse scribbled inside. Nobody knows where La Muerte goes during her downtime but people assume that she has a workshop somewhere that she uses to restock. She’s likely to have an alias, too, but again, nobody is certain who is exactly under  the face paint.

Name: Katherine “Kate” Marlo
Age: 29
Faction: Mr. House and New Vegas

Looks can be deceiving and Kate certainly likes to be deceiving... Kate is about average height for a female, has a very median build but noticeable muscle definition. Her skin tone is slightly tanned with freckles on her face. She bears a few scars, mostly on her torso. She mostly remains expressionless with a dead stare, only displaying emotion when putting on an act. At one time people thought Kate had quite a soft and soothing voice but as time has past, she sounds a bit hoarse as if she has needs to cough or something. Usually dresses up in leather bomber jacket, pants, an aviator, and a weathered hat.

Personality:
Kate is much for conversation often finding people are too wordy or dull to really attract her attention. In her eyes, they were all savages in a way. A bit hypocritical but she didn’t care or really notice. She has an extreme hatred for the NCR and usually lumps the Legion, finding them to be a bit depraved and deplorable. This fueled hatred does lead her to take an active role against them and as long as you aren’t associated with either, she doesn’t care too much about you. There have been a few who have been able to crack her shell and extremely outgoing people or the sincere,j soft, and caring type can soften Kate’s hard exterior for her to open up. Anybody who can keep her entertained is a plus, like some of the show business people on the Strip. While she also values the true friendship in people like the Followers of the Apocalypse as this was how Kate use to naively envision the world. 

Backstory:
Growing up, Katherine was originally part of the Boomer clan that had emerged from their vault to populate Nellis Air Force Base. Due to the xenophobic nature of the Boomers, they all spent their time isolated from the outside world. As Katherine grew up, however, she wanted to experience what was out there and had tried to petition her tribe to maybe send someone out. Denied repeatedly, Katherine grew frustrated and eventually thought it a good idea to sabotage one of the Boomer’s flight simulators in an attempt to have them search for outside help on repair parts. Of course, Katherine was found out and seeing as she wanted to experience the outside world so bad, they exiled her, threatening her to never comeback. 

Not the way she wanted it to go, Katherine grew a bit hostile which fueled her discovery of violence and theft being the keys of survival outside the Air Force Base. Eventually this caught up to her and firefight with the NCR lead to her becoming wounded, left her dead on the roadside. She was only saved from death due to a passing Follower of the Apocalypse. Katherine recovered in the Old Mormon Fort, grateful for the help, but grew very aggravated with the rest of the world. From that point on, she swore she had enough NCR and suspected Legion could do the same. She now realized why the Boomers did not want to leave because this outside world was horrid and now with both power factions threatening her family and friends back home, she vowed to do something….

Inspiration for La Muerte did indeed come from Chrono Cowboy as there had been a few comics floating around when she was a kid. She had always loved the La Muerte and Muertos bad guys she decided that she should take up that model. The explosives came when she got lucky on a tip and discovered an old firework factory that was stocked with enough black powder to blow up the Strip. It was also a boon to her that she knew and worked with explosives plenty when growing up as everyone was trained with the artillery. Creating explosives was another thing but after some practice, Katherine did managed to become quite good at the process.

For a whole year, Katherine hid under the guise of La Muerte using facepaint to play the part, a salvaged voice unit from a sentry bot to disguise her voice, spouting religious crap to disguise her intentions... Loot she gained was put back into her work and the excess to fuel her found love of gambling. It had been going well she thought until a mysterious man approached her just last week. The Muted Man was quite persuasive, albeit intimidating too, and offered her a position to work for Mr. House. There were plenty of perks in addition to that thinly veiled threat that Katherine decided to accept and see where it takes her. She had always spared New Vegas due to the Followers of the Apocalypse being there and not necessarily as a show of respect to Mr. House, but it appeared it had been interpreted that way. Still, Katherine couldn’t complain being given access to the Strip proper now. It sure beat those shitty knock offs off the strip.
