---

The only daughter of the young matriarch of the Han triad, Kiko enjoyed a protected if not sheltered childhood. Exposed both peripherally and directly to the inner workings of a criminal empire, she grew up fast, but always there were men and women around her both required and willing to stand in harm's way on her behalf. In many ways it made her reckless, but that recklessness was tempered by a genuine concern for those protecting her. She knew that she was a target. And she knew they would always stand between her and the arrows of whoever might come for her.

That became starkly evident when attempts to abduct her led directly to the deaths of the men then assigned to her, so when she reached her majority, Kiko refused further details to guard her person - a refusal the Han matriarch ostensibly allowed.

Out in the Black, Kiko still represents the Han to the triad, if in an unofficial capacity. The attempts against her are more rare given her reputation for answering violence with immediate violence, but her mother's enemies know what she is worth in leverage against the matriarch. Soon enough one will try again to gain that leverage.

Kiko has only recently become aware of her father, a battle-scarred veteran and core educated doctor who somehow managed to avoid entanglements with the triad. She is under orders not to 'disturb' his life, but she has met him and even found they have a shared interest in computer programming. When they are together, she does not speak of the triad, but it is plain he knows and quietly understands her silence.
