Vigil

The newest (and youngest) member of The Big Five. She is a "pinup heroine" who makes dozens of TV appearances monthly.

History
Although Vigil has never written an autobiography, some information has been acquired about her from various sources (of varying degrees of dubiousness). The general consensus is this:

Vigil's powers awakened when she was a teenager and was kidnapped by some sicko. She then proceeded to melt him down to unrecognisable smoulderings and was arrested. Instead of being sent to the rebuilt Alcatraz, she was placed into custody of The Vanguard and became the first Ward to become a member of The Big Five... Or something like that.

Story
In the World of Heroes campaign, Vigil acted as Revenant's mentor after he was released from intensive care following his kidnapping by The Doom Disciples. Through manipulation, she sweet-talked Revenant into talking about his life story while in a public café. She then reprimanded him for sharing the information she asked for in such a place. From there on, she swapped between reprimanding and rewarding him with small tidbits about her life... As far as he knows.

This façade was mostly kept up to reinforce her built-in trust issues and teach the socially awkward Revenant how to be a bit more assertive, along with his stealth and Plasma training.

Power
Vigil's power is Plasma Generation, the rarest of all Energy-based powers. The nickname "Vermilion Flames" comes from the fact her specific plasma is red, like cinnabar and also because it burns at temperatures around 13,000 degrees Celsius at her fingertips (though it cools very rapidly once it leaves her body).
