'''Widow Payne''' was originally being developed as the partner-in-crime for [[Operative Rostov]] and his Black Ops Brigade.  Unfortunately, the plan there got scrapped with the closure of City of Heroes.  When the Everlasting server came about, I decided to revisit the concept, although independent of Rostov.

After Widow Payne server her time as a Blood Widow, she was offered the opportunity to join the Night Widows, the assassins of Arachnos. She joined eagerly, and has refined her skills as a deadly close combatant. If she can get in close combat with someone, the claws and the venom that coat them will finish off most enemies.

Character History

Arachnos Blood Widow Payne, when she was starting out.

Jessica Payne was a resident of Mercy Island; as such, it meant her life was constantly under threat by the villains that Lord Recluse liked to dump onto the island. Despite this, she managed to survive, and her survival was noted by a number of Arachnos operatives and widows. They recommended recruitment, and Jessica was all too ready to accept-after all, no matter how harsh the training, the benefits would get her out of the war zone and into a more privileged position.

Payne worked her way through Blood Widow training and fulfilled her assignments with skill and cunning. If her assignments involved death, she dealt it without hesitation. In time, she was ordered to infiltrate Paragon City itself and pretend to be a defector for a time from the Islands, so that she could see her enemy close up. After a few such assignments, she was promoted to the Night Widows, and thus became even more deadly. Now, Widow Payne hopes to become nothing less than the best that Arachnos can field.
