Biography[]

Edith Swinebourne was born in London, England, and she joined the Blighters gang of Crawford Starrick. Starrick chose her to lead the Blighters in The Thames borough, with Maxwell Roth training her as a borough leader. She was well-known for her use of steroids and other drugs to assist her in combat, making her strong; in 1868, she injected herself with some drugs in order to gain the upper hand against Rooks leader Jacob Frye in the final battle for the district. Despite her extra strength, she was killed in the fight by Frye's cane-sword, which struck her across the head after she was on her knees.
