Ella Marks was five years old when she was left alone on a farm with a mother close to death from fever. She nursed her mother back to health over six weeks by herself. The experience hardened her, she came to see life as a job to perform well. When her mother recovered, they sold the farm and moved to New York City. Her mother made her way in the city when most single mothers lived close to starvation or prostituted themselves to survive. Her mother died at the hands of a Rogue Vampire and she was turned because of her calm request to be given a chance to live. She became a detective in a secret New York City task force for over a hundred years in an organization that continues today. She retired to New Orleans and was dragged into police operations to confront the New Orleans Mafia, among others. She lived a long and interesting life to the present day.
