Elektra Natchios

Secret

5'9"

130 lbs.

From a young age, Elektra Natchios trained in the martial arts well into her adulthood. But when Elektra's father—a Greek Ambassador—was killed in a terrorist abduction gone horribly wrong, she was convinced that the law had failed her. She then traveled afar to Japan to perfect her combat skills; taking matters into her own hands. Taught by both the ancient Chaste order and notorious Hand organization, she would later return home as an infamous assassin at the top of her game.

Being the best of the best, Elektra's clients include a large variety of the world's elite—from S.H.I.E.L.D. to Kingpin. Yet, she continuously crosses paths with her old college flame, Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil. Elektra's adventures have led her far, wide, and back again. But this time the price is right, and she's here to get the job done.
