Eve Macarro is the daughter of two assassins, Javier, a Kikimora of the Ruska Roma, and his unnamed Cultist wife. When Eve was a girl, Javier and Eve went on the run from the Cult, leading to the death of Eve's mother. As the Cult's Chancellor wants to retrieve Eve, the Cult assaults her residence, killing her guards and fatally wounding Javier, who helps Eve escape. New York Continental owner Winston brings Eve to the Ruska Roma, where Eve meets their Director and agrees to join them to avenge Javier's death. Over 12 years, Eve trains as a ballerina and a Kikimora assassin/bodyguard under the Director and Nogi. She once meets John Wick, who unsuccessfully advises her to abandon her violent path. Eve graduates as a Kikimora by killing an older Kikimora. Eve then successfully protects her first ward, heiress Katla Park, and later fulfills several contracts. After killing a target, Eve is attacked by an assassin, whom she kills and identifies as a Cultist. She asks the Director about the Cult, wanting revenge. The Director forbids Eve from pursuing the Cult due to a longstanding truce between the Cult and the Ruska Roma. No Regular Play Records Available No Fantasy Draft Records Available |
