Mika Willower was an Olympic-level gymnast who was recruited into the CIA shortly before competing for the South African national team, on the promise of comfortable pay and asylum in exchange for information on a growing anti-American political movement in her native country. She accepted and trained covertly with CIA field handlers at home, and then assisted in a CIA-sponsored kidnapping of her team's head coach and three financial backers, all suspected high-level operatives in this clandestine movement, while in New York in a pre-Games qualifying event. Her deadly acuity with weaponry was well-documented and honed in her training, and she proved herself to be indisputably effective with concealed throwing weapons, killing three of her team's bodyguards from over 30 meters distant. After the extraction, the CIA turned the prisoners over to the Department of Homeland Security, which also housed the National Sovereignty Department, who's principal responsibility was protecting American national security interests in hostile or potentially hostile countries, when the CIA was unable to do so for political reasons. The NSD eventually struck a deal with their captives to undermine the South African movement from the top down, and entered a business relationship with them. One deal-maker was the surrendering of Willower to her former coach's jurisdiction. Knowing she would be immediately assassinated, Willower pre-emptively murdered the double agents, while still in CIA custody, and disappeared. As the CIA struggled to regain face from an enraged and politicized South American government now surging with anti-American sentiment at what was perceived to be a hostile kidnapping and murder of the national Olympic team on the basis of weak terrorist suspicion, Willower laid low, until resurfacing as an assassin for hire, under the guise of Murder Maiden. Standing over six foot three, she is the tallest and most imposing member of the Cabal, and has quickly risen to lead the group on many scores.
