Vanessa Brewer
Personal History

Operative currently based in Los Angeles Office. Lost her sight at age 21 on purpose. Spent 5 years in Pajaur studying with the Nanjin, an order of cave dwelling monks who believe that enlightenment is seeing with the heart, not with the mind. Brewer’s study with the Nanjin has made her uniquely useful to our purposes. Because of her frail, blind appearance, it is all but impossible to authorities to believe she is capable of any violence. However, due to her highly developed extra-visual perception, she is able to carry out even the most difficult and challenging assignments, able to penetrate even the most sophisticated defenses, and able to find even the most well-hidden subject. She entered our employ as an occasional operative in 1991 and is currently on a regular retainer.
