Shadow Maiden

"'I am Shadow-Maiden. What do you require of me, operative ?'"Shadow Maiden is a complex and reserved entity. The leading theories on her composition range from a network of underground hackers devoted to the cause of Shadow Sect to an as before unheard of level of Artificial Intelligence. There is simply no way this "Shadow Maiden" who appeared early on in the forming of the organization could be any one person, as was the initial belief. In communications, it is always the same voice and dark silhouette however, but that could easily be just another facade to hide her true nature.

However, she has become one of Shadow Sect's most invaluable resources, collecting and managing mission data and giving navigation and even tactical direction to many teams in the field. She communicates with her own unique frequency on the Simulacrum communication devices, standard issue for any active operatives. There is a deliberate peculiarity in the devices themselves that only allows her signal to transmit from a single source, despite that source being untraceable and simultaneously hopping across half the circuits in the world. It is possible the leadership of Shadow Sect knows something more than the rest of the operatives, and perhaps part of her bargain in working for us is that certain information like that is only disclosable to them.

Trivia

 * Shadow Maiden has made at least one request for a body. Even would the request be approved, it is unsure if they would be capable of fabricating one sophisticated enough to function correctly without a better understanding of her inner workings.
 * She seems to think given the materials and tools she could fabricate one herself, however Shadow Sect is unsure about the implications of granting that request.
