Profile written by: Greg McQueen

Was Matt's first love interest. They met at College, but he and Elektra split up after the death of her diplomat father during a hostage crisis which she and Matt were trying to solve. She was already a master martial artist and had killed many people due to schitzophrenic tendencies. When she left she went to study martial arts and for a year joined the Chaste in an attempt to find inner peace, but Stick told her to leave the order. In an attempt to prove her worth to Stick, she joined the Hand with the intentions of causing the groups' downfall from the inside, but she was eventually seduced by the group and became one of them. She eventually decided to leave the Hand, and moved to New York where she worked as the Kingpin's head assassin. However, after she didn't kill Foggy Nelson the Kingpin sent Bullseye to kill her. She died in Matt's arms. When the Hand found out about her death, they tried to revive her body using an ancient ninja technique, but were stopped from doing so by Stone (of the Chaste cult) and Daredevil. When Daredevil himself tried to bring her back to life, he somehow managed to cleanse her soul. Stone completed the revival ceremony and took her to the Chaste's hideaway without Matt knowing. She stayed there until the Hand tried to fuse the killer piece of her mind to their new Warrior Erynys, so she came off the mountain to stop them from doing this. During the battle she was reinfected with her evil side, and is now working as a freelance assassin again, but is having a large crisis of concience about her work.
