Gemma woke up one day in one of the laboratories located in Section I of NEW ALEXANDRIA. She had no memories of her life prior to that moment and to this day she has no idea of who she really is. The only hint to her past is her first name, which was found engraved on a small piece of metal held around her wrist by a delicate chain. Thanks to her constantly changing personas as an active Intel Operative, she uses this name only with those who know her as the person she has become.
PHYSICALLY: Although her strength, speed, reflexes and abilities are far superior to those of other agents operating from the NEW ALEXANDRIA complex, Gemma has never felt that she was somehow different. She considers herself to be an 'Augmented Human," and tends to classify herself as whatever the situation requires, further distancing herself from a single core identity that she could claim to be hers. Due to the thousands of cellular nanites coursing through her body, Gemma is able to control through simple thought many aspects of her physiology including hair, eye and skin colour, heart rate, body temperature as well as being able to appear to most medical scanner as any races or mixture of races she wishes. These nanites have also granted her the ability of rapid tissue regeneration which, in addition to repairing most physical damage in only minutes, give her a quasi-complete immunity to energy weapons and fields. Thanks to these nanites, Gemma is also able to survive for a limited period of time in environments that would be instantly deadly to others.
PSYCHOLOGICALLY: Many members of the NEW ALEXANDRIA's Counselling staff have reported her suffering from acute personality disorder, usually unable to differentiate herself from one or more of the many undercover Intel persona she uses. Although the personas are aware of each other, they do not acknowledge that they reside within the same mind and body.
Not having an identity to officially call her own, Gemma tends to prefer missions that leave her to fend for herself and in which she can fully lose herself in the required persona. She has proven time and time again that she is uniquely qualified for such missions, explaining why she is rarely found at the NEW ALEXANDRIA complex waiting for something to do.

Cold and calculating, Gemma possesses a strength and agility that sets her apart from the majority of Intel Operatives. Due to her training and unique skills, she prefers missions that see her operate alone and with a certain level of freedom. Getting the mission accomplished is her one and only goal, and Gemma always appears to be ready and willing to do whatever is required to reach that objective.
Gemma has been referred to by some within the NEW ALEXANDRIA Command structure as the "Ice Queen", "Deadly Spider" and "Black Viper", nicknames that she has no personal objections to, although she does find them limited in their scope.
