Perdita Ortega

Perdita Ortega is evidence of how far a quick trigger can take a person. Answering the Guild’s call for all able-bodied men and women, the Ortega clan became a force of destruction. In the early days of Guild settlement in 0. To be Organised/Malifaux, desperate to be rid of the monstrous Neverborn, it deputized almost anyone as a Neverborn Hunter. That’s when Perdita arrived in 0. To be Organised/Malifaux to follow her own agenda, driven by reasons only she knows to hunt and kill the indigenous population of 0. To be Organised/Malifaux that threatened the innocent frontiersmen that had come through the Breach.

Proficient in killing Neverborn, Perdita matched her revolver against dozens of the bloodthirsty creatures. Coupled with her stunning looks, her skill with the gun made her a celebrity overnight. Crowds pour from their homes to see Perdita ride home with the carcass of the latest monster.

As the bounty for these creatures rose and more cunning opponents crawled out of the wilds of 0. To be Organised/Malifaux, Perdita enlisted members of her family to assist her. With their help, she would devise clever traps to capture her prey and bait these monsters into brutal crossfire. Each of the Ortegas began to develop legends of their own as the fame of the family grew.

Telling epic tales of the famous Ortegas has come to be a popular pastime in The Union Halls or around the dinner table. Perdita herself has been attributed with all manner of dubious abilities, including a talent to bend bullets and even see in the dark. No one cares if these powers are true; the people exalt this heroine because of the hope she gives them for what anyone can achieve in this world with a little skill.
