 Presently, she exists as a haunting reminder of the arrogance of the Illuminati puppetmasters. In their haste to create an unparalleled killing tool, they instead gave their monster the strength to slaughter her captors and break free of her binds.
 =• Description  •=
-Physically, Lynnette is not in the least bit large, coming in at just barely 5'6" and weighing only 85 pounds with her augmentations not factored into the equation. Her form is small, wraithlike, and fragile. What little natural skin remains is ghastly pale and covered in groupings of shallow puncture scars, burns, and deep, long slashes. Despite the apparent frailty of her body, she is a tapestry of former wounds. Despite her incredibly strenuous role as a close combat specialist, she never seems to develop any notable muscle mass in her legs.

 There are very few official Illuminati records of Lynnette Bowman's existence, but one generally wouldn't want to publicly acknowledge an assassin whose very existence breaks numerous Council rulings on forced recruitment and necromancy. Even as she slaughters her former colleagues the Illuminati have remained tight-lipped regarding her existence to the Council. To admit the quasi-living monster of more metal than flesh even exists implicates the Illuminati in far more than they care to be associated with. Preferring instead to deal with the monster of their own creation under the table in silence.
-A prodigal assassin forcibly recruited at a such a young age, Lynnette has had time to get to know the Secret World far more intimately than she would like.

-Seven months ago, Lynnette Bowman was deployed into the Kaidan hot zone and went AWOL roughly two weeks afterward. Any attempts to contact her were met with failure, and no agent managed to find her and live to tell the tale. After six suspicious deaths of Illuminati field agents and assets that lead to an internal investigation revealing her to be the sole surviving member of her division, Lynnette was officially declared a rogue agent and had her Council protection revoked. This only seemed to make her more aggressive in her hunting, abandoning any pretense of hiding her signature. Bodies were pinned to billboards above crosswalks with promises of holy vengeance painted in viscera beside the deceased.

Those who had hurt her and those who had profited from her misery.
 Calling in a favor with a Phoenician contact, Bowman was evacuated from Tokyo to receive medical attention.  An evaluation revealed her to be malnourished, anemic, and about to die from sleep deprivation. After a brief period of rest and recuperation, she returned to Kaidan under the banner of the Brotherhood of Phoenician Sailors and was keen to prove her loyalty to her cautious new employers.

 =• Psychological Profile  •=
-Despite her extreme capabilities for manipulation Lynnette is terrified of social interaction on a meaningful, interpersonal level due to prior trauma from her tenure as an Illuminati assassin and agent. She manages to overcome her crippling anxiety through heavy dissociation, using her mask as a literal divider between the monster that the world sees, and the scared little girl within. Lynnette's external persona allows her to factor herself out of the immediate equation and instead play a role. Lynnette herself doesn't have to be confident, she needs only her mask to be so. Fake it until you make it.

 Her external persona relies on rehearsed bravado and bombastic, nigh reality-defying charisma intended to hide any sense of fear or weakness. Naturally, this has lead to a rather poor track record with other people and has largely left her isolated. However, this is likely part of a defense mechanism to both protect herself from those who would seek to manipulate her, and those who might reject her once they see the true girl beneath the mask. Despite her skills as an actress and manipulator she does not ''enjoy'' misleading others, and believes that to use her talent for manipulation, even benevolently, would be morally repugnant.

 Lynnette's dissociation seems to have eroded away at her ability to feel in the moment, frequently causing her to make rash decisions in a firestorm of emotion to be deeply regretted for months afterwards.

-Her external persona relies on rehearsed bravado and bombastic, nigh reality defying charisma intended to hide any sense of fear or weakness. It's primarily a holdover from her time in the Illuminati where it was a necessary survival technique. She only needed to act as the opposite of what she felt within to appear strong.
+A strong, deeply rooted sense of self-loathing permeates every single action she takes and seems to be directly responsible for her unhappiness in life. Her augmentations, somewhat surprisingly, do not seem to be the root cause of her misery. Instead viewing them as scars to take pride in and as tools to allow her to overcome the limits of her frail human form.

A closed casket service followed, and she was buried a week later.
