Angelina Alcott barely made the grade to be trained to be a songbird agent at MI6. According to records, her test scores were average; but she demonstrated her ability to think outside the box, and surviving by any means necessary.
Angelina was an experienced agent when Colin King joined MI6, and she later became his first handler. When he followed her after work, she noticed him tailing her and bought him a wristwatch that he still owns. They soon became lovers, until she was seemingly killed by an assassin named Xaman.
Her body was taken to the temple of the Undead Monk, where Angelina was enhanced by Master Darque with a mystically enchanted spike placed in the back of her neck, and then subjected to brutal trials before emerging with a new identity: Roku, short for Rokurokubi, a yōkai from the Japanese folklore, a wandering spirit.
Roku ocasionally accepts contrats for money from anonymous clients. In one such mission, she met Marybeth, a girl with a computer chip implanted in the back of her neck. Bonding with the girl, Roku decided to protect the her from those who only see her as a weapon.
Ninjak tried to extract Marybeth for Daybreak, but the girl had been taken by the Jonin. In the end, he only got to administer a liquid transmitter that allows Daybreak to access the data streamed to Marybeth's head. The secondary mission's goal was to retrieve the Undead Monk's ashes, but Ninjak reports to have failed on that account.
While Roku's a member of the Shadow Seven, Ninjak reports it is likely she teamed up with the KI-6 after he left the Jonin's penthouse.
OTHER DETAILS: The Minister of Blades, a disciple of the Undead Monk, seems to be one of the few opponents that present a challenge for Roku's abilities.
