History

Kiri is a Netherworld succubus initially dragged into Earth's dimension through a VIPER program to explore and exploit parallel dimensions in the early 90s. There she was a test subject for experiments designed to extract her dark powers for use by VIPER.

Age unknown (estimated 200-300 years), but known to be active on Earth for over 25 years at this point.

Experimentation and Escape Attempts

Due in part to her being a fiercely uncooperative test subject, VIPER's experimentation resulted in few advances, and the deaths of multiple researchers and security personnel through her repeated escape attempts.

Four months after her capture, the facility was raided by heroes. In the chaos, Kiri slipped away, using her powers of deception to appear as an innocent human prisoner.

Criminal History

Kiri was known to have taken up residency in Millennium City from the time she escaped up until around 2005, when she mysteriously dropped off the radar.

During this time, she is believed to have committed a series of crimes including robbery, assault, vagrancy, drug and dealing, and arms smuggling. But to be clear, there are no murders of which she is or was a suspect.

Disappearance

Between 2005 and 2009, Kiri's location was unknown.

Sources indicate that an arms smuggling deal with a local criminal cartel had gone bad, and she likely created yet another alternate identity to escape the gang.

During this time, no criminal activity reports are strongly linked to Kiri's methodology, indicating that she either changed her methods, or avoided criminal activity entirely to stay under the radar.

Spoilers An arms deal did go wrong. The intended recipient of the arms shipment turned out to be a VIPER operative, and the deal was a trap. She was lured into a banishment circle, where she was sent to Qliphoth. She spent the next four years battling for survival, and trying to find a way to return to Earth. For the time, she focused on the single-minded goal of returning to what she now considered her home. She carved a bloody swath of destruction through the lesser demons and harvested their life energies to momentarily restore the dimensional tear that the original banishment circle had created, which would theoretically allow her to move back through it, into Earth's dimension. After an initial three years of utter chaos, Kiri was captured and tortured by a local lord, and a servant of the Kings of Edom. In her imprisonment, she met a small group of humans - also captured victims of the lord, all from different places and different times, many from dimensions other than Earth. With them, she hatched a dangerous escape plan, which ultimately left the lord's castle in ruins, the lord destroyed, his soul harvested, and enough energy to finally repair the rift finally accumulated. She initially thought of the humans as temporary allies, but gradually became close friends with many of them. When they finally re-opened the tear they found it was unstable and quickly decaying. Kiri covered the retreat of the humans as they escaped. As bodies of fallen Qliphothic demons stacked up all around, she disappeared into the tear. When she emerged on the other side, the humans were gone, each sent to another place or another time, hopefully back to where each of them was plucked from. Kiri, however, found herself thrown into the midst of the Qularr invasion of 2009.

Qularr Invasion

In 2009, Kiri was spotted at the Qularr invasion of Millennium City, without any disguise or altered form, and carrying weapons similar to those that she was thought to commonly smuggle.

Her actions that day may have been entirely out of self-preservation, but several citizens are alive today directly due to her involvement.

Capture and Sentence

Kiri surrendered to the MCPD after the Qularr invasion. Motivation for surrender is unknown, but it is assumed she could have easily escaped in the chaos.

It was found that Kiri's actions during the Qularr invasion, along with the testimony of the citizens and other heroes present, were sufficient to warrant the suspension of her prison sentence for the crimes committed up until that point.

This suspended sentence came with multiple stipulations, including that she must assist heroes with any intelligence or strategic information that may be relevant for Netherworld incursions, as well as assisting in the execution of any heroic plans based on that intelligence. She must also turn in her weapons and keep her darker powers sealed away. She will also remain under strict observation, and must regularly check-in with a probation officer.

Violations of these stipulations may land her in prison with a sentence of multiple decades.

During questioning, Kiri claimed to lack any knowledge of the last four years prior to the Qularr invasion. Observations of private communications afterwards indicate that this is a lie, but bringing forth legal action is pointless until more is known. There remains no evidence of criminal activity during this time.

Spoilers Kiri had been permanently changed by the events in Qliphoth. She resolved to live within the rules of Earth as a condition of staying here, and the first part of that would be to serve time for the crimes she committed. A long prison sentence is something she could survive, being a long-lived demonic entity, and considered it an acceptable price to pay not to face banishment to the Netherworld for good. This, however, was a lesser priority than surviving the Qularr invasion, and making sure as many civilians as possible survived, too. After the battle around to escape through the Qliphothic rift, the fight against the Qularr was a relative cakewalk, almost a victory lap. Unfortunately, after the humans disappeared (hopefully back to their own realities), there was nobody left to corroborate her story about the time spent in Qliphoth. She kept the events a secret, to prevent anyone from finding out about the banishment circle, to secure her place in Earth's reality, and because nobody would believe her anyway.

Flagrant Violations of Stipulations

It is believed that Kiri stores guns in something similar to a personal pocket dimension. This is probably what made her an effective smuggler for so many years.

She has been seen in public repeatedly wielding a variety of different guns and explosives. However, these weapons have never been found on an search of her person or place of residence. And reports are consistently found to be in-actionable.

Similarly, while she has occasionally used her darker powers, these have generally been considered justifiable as used in an emergency. These powers have almost always been used to save lives, directly in a healing role, and almost always at the cost of her own life energy. No charges stemming from this have been brought forward yet.

Sabine

Within the last few years, Kiri's demeanor has changed from that of a violent demon-criminal to a person who is more calm and focused. The change seems to coincide with her meeting Sabine, another hero she is regularly seen with.

More observation is required to ascertain the nature of their relationship. Suffice it to say, they are suspected to be much more than friends.

Personality

Kiri is still, fundamentally, a violent, corrupting demon from the Netherworld. She harbors a disdain for figures of authority, and places her personal freedom above almost any other goal or ideal. She especially dislikes the MCPD, who were a continual thorn in her side during her years as a criminal, and only works with them because she is required to do so.

Having said that, since her relationship with Sabine, she has shown considerably more restraint in expressing those opinions, or acting in a way that endangers others. Sabine's presence has been a stabilizing force for her otherwise chaotic will.

Kiri is cocky and arrogant, but slowly learning to hold her tongue when appropriate.

For those she does become accustomed to, she can be warm and caring, in stark contrast to the way she treats the outside world.

She gets extremely nervous around celestial types.

Doesn't bite. (Unless you ask nicely.)
