'''Dido''' is a hero who leads the corporate team [[Auzure]] with her colleague [[Lark]].

==Personality==
Dido is confident, and has been shown to take a casual approach to serious situations, such as the conflict at [[Cedar Point]], which she described as "some silliness to take [her] mind off of things.”<ref name="4.7">[[Shade 4.7]]</ref> She has used a "salesman's pitch" tone when trying to convince a civilian to cooperate. In banter with [[Breakthrough|other heroes]], she has consistently ended sentences with affectionate terms such as ''love'' and ''hon''.

She has truly opulent spending habits<!-- or a financial gambler? unclear-->, so much so, that [[Tattletale]] identified her as capable of influencing the stability of the economy in [[The City]]<ref name="10.x">''Trading Dollar rose 2.1%, rose 1% yesterday, past knowledge that New Dollars are under attack; currency market stabilizing.<br/>Level of stabilization, consistency of rises, actors in this field include [[Number Man]], Dido, [[Semiramis]], and [[Little Midas]]; one unknown actor is engaged in this playing field-'' - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/11/24 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.x II]]</ref><ref>Some people are influencers for reasons that don’t tie directly into their abilities, like Dido from Auzure and her effect on finances. [...] But Dido is a disaster waiting to happen when cold hard cash or theoretical cash are involved.  there’s a reason they keep the team small and the growth slow and steady.  She’s like an alcoholic with a wine cellar.”<br/><br/>
“You said it was more than an ordinary disaster,” Sveta said.<br/><br/>
“Everyone would feel it, at least a little,” Tattletale said.  “There’s at least a subconscious reason she named herself after the woman who threw fortunes away in history and myth.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/04/27/black-13-8/ Excerpt] from [[Black 13.8]]</ref>

===Relationships===
====[[Lark]]====
Seemingly on good terms with her co-leader.

====[[Breakthrough]]====
Dido has collaborated with the then unnamed [[Breakthrough|hero team]] once, in a one-off assist during the Cedar Point operation. Her personality and handling of the situation left some of its members unsure about her reliability, though she was ultimately successful.

===Early-[[Ward]]===
Was not present for [[Victoria Dallon|Victoria's]] job interview with Auzure, which was conducted by Lark. The co-leader mentioned that Victoria would meet Dido soon, if all went well.<ref name="2.1">[[Flare 2.1]]</ref>

Later her team became involved with a [[Breakthrough|new hero team's]] handling of Cedar Point.<ref name="4.2">[[Shade 4.2]]</ref> Her part involved calling a civilian landlord under the thumb of [[Prancer]] in order to spook him into reporting to the villain, which allowed the fledgling hero group locate him and spy. Auzure received information in exchange for this assistance.<ref name="4.7">[[Shade 4.7]]</ref>

When questioned, Dido provided some information about the threat of war with [[Earth Cheit]], claiming that she and Auzure were involved in dealing with the situation, but not among those calling the shots, and that she believed the war was inevitable.<ref name="4.7 e2">[[Shade 4.7]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*In history, [[Wikipedia:Dido|Dido]] was the first queen of Carthage. She features most prominently in Virgil's ''[[Wikipedia:Aeneid|Aeneid]]'', where she commits suicide by falling on a sword and immolating herself on a pyre along with everything that reminded her of her lover Aeneas, who left her. Before killing herself, Dido swears eternal hate between Carthage and the descendants of Troy.
