Chloe Graham

Chloe's long blonde hair and gentle face give the false impression of a woman who is feminine and 'soft'. Standing at 5'9'', her lean, but strong frame is atheistically pleasing. The last time she wore a dress was a quite boring Christmas party, generally wearing something that is comfortable and better suited for her line of work. For days when she's not likely to be shooting anything, Chloe uncomfortably wears skirt suits. She's often in a tracksuit or other comfortable clothing for those other days that tend to get interesting.

Chloe learned at a young age that being pretty would only get her so far. She knows how to get things done and her actions, not her words, inform people that it's a bad idea to mess with her. She isn't an angry person though, meaning it's hard to gauge her reactions. A simple smile could be genuine, sarcastic, or deadly. Chloe is somewhat reserved, only speaking much around people she's comfortable around.

While not exactly moral, Chloe doesn't enjoy seeing people in pain and refuses to torture them. She doesn't mind killing people, but she will only do it with a gun. She only kills for the mob, usually finding less bloody alternatives to her own problems. Given her demeanour, it isn't hard to guess that she doesn't have many friends. While her co-workers respect her and she is close to some of them, her few friends outside the gang have little idea of what she actually does. All the killing hasn't given Chloe a complex; the fact that she's gotten away with it has. She has a fear of cops and even random people on the street, often wondering if they can see the years of blood on her hands. Some would classify this as guilt - Chloe figures she's just a bit paranoid.

Chloe's life started out pretty rough. Born with a heart condition, she spent the first months of her life in and out of hospitals. Although she left the hospital a healthy and active baby girl, the bills took her parents years to pay off and put a permanent strain on their marriage. Her father, Connor, was about as Irish as a man could be. A blue collar worker who spent most of his life in construction, Connor was a man who was rough around the edges. Chloe could count on her father to be anything and everything, except a sounding board. Her mother, Anna, was always in the kitchen, a role she relished in the peak of the marriage and hated near its end. When Anna tried to talk to him about their problems, she asked him if they could go to counselling. He quickly refused, saying he didn't need someone else trying to tell him how to be a husband. Despite how it horrified her parents, Anna asked Connor to leave in 2103, keeping the thirteen-year-old Chloe with her. Even though he only moved to another part of Boston, Chloe's contact with her father was scarce after that. His excuse, which Chloe didn't know until years later, was that he could barely look Anna in the eye without getting upset.

At a boring neighborhood party a couple years later, Chloe first saw Liam O'Connell. At 21, he seemed totally old to her, so she did no more than admire from afar. She kind of forgot about him, moving onto another crush in a few weeks. After hearing about Chloe's woes in keeping a job, her cousin, a low level mobster, started paying her to help him out. She quickly rose ranks in the mob, gaining a reputation for her skill with guns and willingness to use them. Chloe took orders well, and fulfilled them completely and quickly. She finally spoke to Liam O'Connell after an ugly incident with a druggie in 2113 and was again captivated by him. He, just for a second, let her forget who she was. She felt like that little girl again when she'd first saw him, but that moment quickly passed and he showed no such feelings in return. Annoyed at the feelings, which were very unlike her, Chloe suppressed the infatuation and tried to move on, soon becoming one of Liam's most trusted agents. This involved the working together a lot, leaving Chloe to often wonder if he would ever consider anything between them.
