Cypher Noir
Background
Zara Grant’s career in forensics was one of dedication and technical expertise, built on years of education and fieldwork. As a forensic analyst with the Ottawa City Police, she became known for her sharp eye and meticulous attention to detail. Unfortunately, her ambition and skills also caught the attention of the criminal underworld, and she was drawn into a web of corruption that saw her on the Mafia’s payroll, aiding them in evading justice. Though none of these connections were ever proven, accusations of her involvement eventually led to her disgrace and dismissal. Branded “the dirty cop who got away,” Zara faced social and professional ostracism, with no one believing her denials.
After her fall from grace, Zara struggled to find her footing. She lost friends, colleagues, and her sense of self-worth. When Leo Voss, aka the Sinister Spectacle, approached her with an offer to join his team, she saw a chance to regain control over her life and amass the wealth and respect she believed she deserved. Now operating as Cipher Noir, Zara is responsible for cleaning up crime scenes and advising on tactics to evade police, detectives, and superheroes. Her knowledge of forensic procedures makes her an invaluable asset, allowing her to leave behind pristine, untraceable scenes and to anticipate the moves of any investigators.
Personality Zara Grant, now Cipher Noir, is a complex blend of cynicism and determination. After her disgrace, she developed a hardened, pragmatic outlook, no longer bound by the ethical restrictions of her previous career. She sees herself as a realist, willing to embrace the underworld because she feels betrayed by the very system she once served. While she’s calculated and professional, Zara harbors a deep-seated resentment toward those who cast her out and a thirst for recognition on her own terms.
She values precision and expects the same from her team, often finding herself at odds with anyone who might leave loose ends. Beneath her sharp, occasionally icy exterior, Zara still feels the sting of her fall from grace. Her motivation is rooted in a desire to redefine herself, proving that she’s more than the “dirty cop” label that others have stuck on her. Although her loyalty to Leo Voss is primarily transactional, she respects his intelligence and theatricality, finding a strange camaraderie in their shared taste for sophisticated deception.
