It all started on the day that Hugo Kostas Natchios and his wife Christina were murdered. 

If there had been an obituary... it would've described the unremarkable life... of an unremarkable woman... survived by no one. 

But there was no obituary... because the day that the couple were murdered... was also the day a woman started to live. But that comes later.

Hugo Kostas Natchios was a Greek man in his mid-forties, ambassador and a married man to Christina, an American woman with the role of an expert assassin. Her skills brought the attention of a wealthy businessman, and they formed a partnership for Christina to carry out his crimes in return for immunity. Soon, she met and married Hugo and after bearing their daughter, Christina decided to retire from her criminal acts and start a new life.

But somehow, the past always had a way of haunting her. On the night of August 13th, 2004, Christina and Hugo came home to find henchmen invading their apartment complex. It had finally hit Christina that her boss had something to do with it, but before she could act, she and Hugo were gunned down and the complex was set ablaze, charring their bodies.

The police and fire department searched the place thoroughly to find only one survivor of the massacre; a seven-year-old daughter by the name of Elektra.

She swore revenge.

Upon discovering her mother's Twin Sai being a key to a dying message, Elektra decided to train in China to study martial arts, various fighting styles and acrobatics by the age of twelve. For the next ten years of training, she decided to start an investigation by herself, vowing to find the man responsible for her parents' sudden demise.

It all comes down to the one question that seemed to be on her mind that very night...

Why?
