Edith

Aging
A member of the Mask Makers. She is noticable for her well toned body and huge stature of over 2 meters, or about six feet and a half. Aging is in her late twenties to early thirties. She is the brute force of the squad who is bold and fearless in combat, as she knows that there are very few people who are actually good enough fighters to lay a scratch on her. She loves to fight and is always seeking new challenges.

 * Fatal Family Photo: Angelo practically calls upon the narrative gods to kill him by deciding that he's going to take his family on a trip to Venice after he's done with this one job, along with invoking a Million-to-One Chance of his own death while the narrative helpfully points out that that probably means it's closer to fifty-fifty.

 * Revenge: For the fallen companions in South America.

Bride
The 43rd and current leader of the Cult known as SAMPLE. "Bride" is likely not his real name, but a title given to the leader, who is the "bride" of the cult's current god.
