Silvia Ramos followed in her older brothers footprints when she chose a career in law enforcement. Danny Ramos, five years her senior, was an aspiring homicide detective in Bludhaven when she joined the New Jersey State Police. She was placed in the Special Investigations Unit where the focus was on organized crime. Because of her youth, moxie, and natural street smarts Silvia was handpicked to become an undercover agent. Everything happened so fast. She was handed an assignment as soon as she had settled in - to infiltrate an infamous and longstanding Gotham Cosa Nostra mob, the Bertinelli family.
Because work demanded it she shelved her honest identity in favor of a new criminal one. Silvia Ramos transformed into Claudia Greco, proud outlaw and femme fatale. The State Police, in an effort to establish Claudia's street credibility, had her "serve" two stints in jail (3 month & later 6 month) for assault & battery and brandishing a firearm. She acquired several contacts while she was locked up, and once she was released she prowled around known Bertinelli establishments.
She advertised herself as a wheel girl - a getaway driver - and she fast talked her way into a young outfit of Bertinelli associates who boosted cars. That's when Claudia made a name for herself. She was skilled, daring, clever, and last but not least, sexy. A pretty face is always an asset when you're hoping to get noticed. With SIU approval she personally lifted over twenty luxury automobiles for the mob before Nick Defeo, a Bertinelli family captain, was introduced to her. The gangster was smitten at first sight.
Nick courted Claudia to be his personal driver. It would put her in the perfect position to collect incriminating evidence against the top rung of the family. That was the plan at least, but things got complicated. After only six weeks of working together Nick and Claudia were swept up in a romantic relationship. At first she told herself she only went along with her boss's advances to better access family secrets. But that was never the truth.
Her worlds collided. Thanks to a tall dark and handsome mob captain she began to prefer life as Claudia over Silvia. The shame of her forbidden love drove a wedge between Silvia (what was left of her) and her original family. Her brother Danny picked up on his sister's discomfort and reached out, but she pulled further away. He would never understand, and she needed to protect him. But most of all she could never let Danny see who she'd become. In a desperate attempt to reconnect Danny lied and told his sister their mother had collapsed. When Silvia arrived and learned the truth she erupted in anger. He apologized and explained that it broke his heart to lie, but he felt he was left with no other choice. Hurtful things were said before she stormed out. That was the last time they spoke.
Whether she wanted to be or not, Silvia was still a police officer for the state of New Jersey. She trickled back criminal activities whenever she had to, but nothing that could cripple the family, and never anything on Nick Defeo. She knew her and her lover were on borrowed time. Soon she would need to put him away or be dragged off the assignment.
Then the meeting of her life was scheduled. Nick had arranged a sit down with one of Gotham's most sinister villains, Dr. Hugo Strange, for a piece of the doctor's black market organ trade. There was a growing demand for genetically modified organs across the globe and suppliers were scarce. So far the mad doctor had cleaned up, and all the city's mobs wanted in on the action. Up to that point Dr. Strange had worked with Gotham's yakuza, the Akahara, but the Bertinelli family were aggressively expanding. They had grabbed up several Akahara revenue streams over the last few months, and things had gotten ugly between the two as a result.
The negotiations at the doctor's laboratory went well. With Claudia at his side Nick convinced Dr. Strange to cut all ties with the Akahara's for a better rate with the family along with other perks. After the deal was struck Nick, Claudia, and his accompanying soldiers walked back to their cars. It was a rainy night in Gotham and they each clutched umbrellas. That's when she noticed it burning into the grey clouds - the bat signal. She froze. As Silvia she had always admired the vigilante, but as Claudia Greco - girlfriend of gangster Nick Defeo - she feared him. She peeked up at the shadowed buildings around her and wondered if the Dark Knight was watching her. He would have good reason to; she was mixed up with a bad crowd. Eventually she put her back to the signal and tried to catch up with her crew.
Nick, waiting for his distracted girlfriend beside the car, opened her door as she approached. The first bomb triggered the second and both automobiles exploded. Nick and his soldiers were killed instantly. But Claudia, three car lengths away, was battered and flung to the pavement. She was unconscious with severe internal bleeding. She was dying.
She woke on a hard cold bed under fluorescent lights. Everything ached. Her ears were ringing and the sterile smells of the room assaulted her nose. When she finally glanced down at her hands she didn't recognize them. Her flesh was a ghastly pinkish grey and the hair along her arm was bristly and violet. And her muscles... Their proportions were monstrous. It was the work of Dr. Strange. He carted her mortally wounded body back into his freakish lab and, through a cocktail of experimental hormones, saved her life. But at a terrible price.
She could never go back to either of her former lives. Both Silvia and Claudia were murdered along with Nick. But the bastards who set the bombs didn't finish the job; she was still breathing. And that was their mistake.
