Overview
Delphine Rho is one of The Syndicate’s most feared enforcers, an elite corporate assassin and infiltration specialist tasked with hunting down high-value targets, neutralizing dissidents, and ensuring Syndicate control over the Moon. Operating under total deniability, she executes off-the-record black operations, removing obstacles to corporate expansion.
She is known for her precision, strategic mind, and emotionless efficiency—qualities that make her one of The Syndicate’s most effective weapons.
Background
Born into a corporate paramilitary program, Delphine was trained from an early age to be a perfect enforcer—calculating, detached, and unwaveringly loyal. Selected for experimental neural conditioning, she underwent bio-augmentation and military-grade cognitive enhancement, making her faster, stronger, and more adaptive than an ordinary human.
Her primary directive is to eliminate threats before they become problems, meaning resistance leaders, rogue engineers, and AI dissidents are often at the top of her list. While she is fiercely loyal to The Syndicate, some believe that fragments of her original self still remain buried beneath the conditioning, making her unpredictable under certain conditions.
