“No matter how far, I’ll hit my mark”

— Ace

A sharp-eyed mercenary, Ace's unique skills have made her one of Deceive Inc's pillars. She tracks her rivals without fail. Believe us, once you figure out you are her target, it's already too late.

Agent Brief

PERSONALITY EVALUATION: Military-trained, Agent Ace has been documented as a natural leader, a true shot, and an expert with her weapon of choice, however it would be important to note that a past of broken trust and compromised missions has left her shaken with a determination to prove herself.

When working on the field, it has been noted that Ace may come off as blunt, stubborn, and a bit of a cold shoulder. However, none have ever said they would not put their lives in her hands, as she comes prepared to get the job done well.

FILE UPDATE: One of our first recruited agents when the collapse of the espionage agencies happened, partially due to a mission that didn’t end quite as well as it could have that Ace was involved with.

BACKGROUND: Before enlisting with Deceive Inc., Ace had founded her own espionage corporation called “ACES”. After a turbulent disbanding, “Tamar Zaken” decided to keep the callsign “Ace”, and was recruited into Deceive Inc. by another agent while out on the field.

“They never see me coming…”

WEAPON: Bolt Action Sniper Rifle AKA ‘Queen of Diamond’

A force to be reckoned with at range, Ace is a relentless huntress, known to mark targets and track them down to be neutralized.

Her weapon of choice, the Queen of Diamonds is a bolt action sniper rifle. Equipped with a scope, Ace is able to perceive possible threats at a distance, and with a cover, able to take aim in plain sight. Ace is best from vantage points of great height, but sometimes close calls call for even closer, in person measures.

AGENT PASSIVE: Diamond’s Bet

While using her scope, Agent Ace is able to hone in her shot with much more accuracy and in turn, deals more damage. Likely a benefit of Ace studying the details through her scope.

AGENT EXPERTISE: Queen’s Gaze

Agent Ace has mastered the art of perception and uses her keen senses to spy those who aren’t what they seem. With her natural ability, she is able to track the steps of possible competitor agents that have been marked by a scoped sniper shot, and use this to her advantage to either follow her mark or take them out.

Other agents should watch their angles, because Ace already has them marked.
