Character Background

The Black Cross (aka Dorothy Judge) was a woman that operated in Caribbean on the behalf of the Radical branch of the new West Indies Rite of the Templar Order. As a Black Cross, it was up to Dorothy to make sure the Templars stayed on the right course – not acting like the Roman Rite had done. At the end of a failed Templar-conspiracy, an assassination attempt on the Cross made her loose her right arm.

(High Profile, Front)

Dashing towards her target from the front, the Black Cross leaps upward, spinning in the air like a pirouette, while taking out her bladed fan and slashing their throat. She then lands daintily on her feet and restores her fan to its holder, while her victim's dead body lies on the floor.

(High Profile, Back)

Sprinting up to her target from behind, the Black Cross rolls over their back with her legs extended in the air, before landing on her knees in front of them.

(High Profile, Front)

Rushing over to her target, the Black Cross swings her hook in an upwards arc and embeds its tip into their abdomen.
