Margaux Scarlet Hunt, also known as Kortik, embodies the concept of a lethal weapon, with her ultimate objective being to avenge her parents' deaths. After living alone for a period, Margaux relocated to England, where her uncle took her under his wing, raising her as his own and rigorously training her in combat and self-defense. Upon mastering her studies and honing her skills, she returned to the Philippines with the singular purpose of tracking down her parents' killers and administering justice with her own hands. Her mission inevitably brings her into contact with Sebastian Gavin Addison, a bodyguard, and Cohen Julien Esteban, the son of a congressman.
