Personal Information
Personality
‘Behind every great man is a great woman’.
If this is true, then Arthur might be the luckiest man alive - he has three behind him. The third, often unsung one, is Imogen Vane.
Not being a terribly physical person by nature, she tends to stay out of the spotlight and let the others handle the more violent operations of the Hellfire Club, but Imogen - or ‘Vane’ as she prefers, since most people, even ones who know her well, don’t properly pronounce her first name - works on the finer details. Backstage dealings, opponent research and analysis, matters of monetary concern, longterm strategies. While Arthur is nominally the lead of the Club, he’s more of a Big Idea sort of thinker, and his notions usually need refining down to more realistic levels.
The consummate professional that keeps the group on task, she tends to come off as stuffy and mechanical, but that’s only when she’s ‘on the job’. She can be fairly fun and laidback when she doesn’t have work to do, and despite the way she vocally reprimands the others for their lack of focus and professionalism, she does have her more adventurous side when the doors are closed.

History
You would never know it to look at her now, but there was a time when Imogen Vane, known as the Taskmistress, was CAGE UK’s hottest prospect. Coming fresh off the indie scene, she was hired by Jack Cross and immediately pushed as one of their brightest stars, with him building their women’s division around her. She showed a ton of promise, and went on to win their Women’s Title, holding for over a year. On camera, everything was perfect.
Then came the incident.
Certain tweets emerged from Vane’s time on the indie scene, showing her making racist remarks to some of her fellow wrestlers. While she vehemently defended herself and said they were taken out of context, she took a tremendous hit in popularity, and management turned against her. When she finally lost the title, she was shuffled off television and forced to work mostly dark matches, earning significantly less money. It was in this position that she sustained a serious knee injury during a table match, that put her on indefinite hiatus.
Jack Cross took some pity on her, however, and kept her on as aide and advisor in CAGE UK. While she outwardly appreciated it, she inwardly resented him for not supporting her more with the tweets, caving to the peer pressure and pushing her down the card. When his son, Arthur, attempted his coup of the company, she secretly aided him, giving Arthur crucial intel and helping him build his Hellfire Club faction.
After Arthur lost the match, she was found out to be his double agent and was cast out of the company along with him. The Hellfire Club split to the four winds, but Vane decided to stick close to Arthur and helped facilitate his move to Japan, calling in a few favors to make it happen. When he came to LAW, she came with him, though she’s so far elected to stay in the shadows and run reconnaissance instead of overtly assisting him.

It’s that time of the month.
Hanging Out With her cousin
+While she’s not as capable as she was as a wrestler, she's not defenseless. She studies judo and is fairly capable of putting people down when they attack her, though this is a last resort.
+ Plays a lot of Chess and has 2000 rating.
+ While she usually does whatever Arthur asks, at the first of the month, she and him have a ‘private night’ where they only indulge her wishes and desires. Coincidentally, she’s handy with a whip.
