Editing Emily Piggot

'''Emily Piggot''' is a former Director of the [[Parahuman Response Team|PRT]] [[Brockton Bay PRT Headquarters|ENE]]. As PRT Director, her duties included managing the local [[The Protectorate|Protectorate]], [[The Wards|Wards]], and PRT agents.

==Personality==
Emily is an extremely stubborn and strong-willed woman who refuses to give ground in any situation. When taken captive, she makes no effort to request release or otherwise lose face, but instead remains calm. She also appears to have little sense of humor, or indeed any personality not closely related to her job.<ref name="I13">[[Interlude 13]]</ref> She was unaware of her favorite color, although according to [[Dragon]] it is silver.<ref name="13.y eSilver"/>

Piggot is an innately suspicious person but especially harbors a deep distrust towards all [[cape]]s, believing them to be bullies at best and monsters at worst.<ref name="I13"/><ref name="16.3"/> Her tunnel vision towards capes aren't entirely unjustified, as, during the [[Nilbog]] mission, where she was crippled and her entire squad killed, the supporting capes ran for their lives and left the non-parahumans to die.<ref name="16.x"/> Despite those feelings, she still works as Director for the PRT ENE to provide guidance and oversight to capes as is her duty.

Despite these prejudiced views, Piggot is aware of some of her own shortcomings as a person, saying that she knows she is ugly and fat and that it would be a waste of time for [[Tattletale]] to psychoanalyze her.<ref name="16.3"/>

As a former [[Parahuman Response Team|PRT]] agent, she was trained in resisting mental and emotional attacks.<ref>"I could control her," Regent said. "Send Shatterbird back, lock her up, get control." "Which would take time, again," Tattletale said. "The benefits would be negligible, and it would take longer than you think, because she's trained in resisting mental and emotional attacks." - [[Monarch 16.3]]</ref><ref>No. He'd been trained to deal with mental and emotional attacks. They all had. Had to think abstractly, consider the edges of the problem. Even if their perceptions were under attack, there were always hints, always clues. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/interlude-16-donation-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 16.x]]</ref>

==Appearance==
Piggot is an obese woman with steel-grey eyes<ref name="I15">Except Director Piggot. It would have been easier to stare down a Bengal tiger than to meet her steel-gray eyes - [[Interlude 15]]</ref> and a bleached blonde bob-style haircut. She is usually seen wearing a navy blue jacket and skirt.<ref name="I3"/>

==History==
===Background===
Piggot was a PRT field agent before being assigned to the ground forces attempting to take down [[Nilbog]]. During the mission, her entire squad was killed after their supporting capes ran away. She also lost her kidneys and some muscles in her legs, forcing her to use hemodialysis every night and preventing her from exercising vigorously. She was one of the only two survivors of the mission, the other being [[Coil]].<ref name="16.x">[[Interlude 16.x]]</ref>

Following the event, Piggot was appointed Director of the PRT ENE. Presumably her injuries alongside her desk job is what led to her becoming obese.

===Story Start===
Piggot reprimanded the Brockton Bay [[The Wards|Wards]] for the many disastrous actions they took while trying to prevent [[the Undersiders]] from robbing a [[Battle at the Bank|bank]]. She garnished their wages to pay for the damages as would she if they were normal law enforcement agents.<ref name="I3">[[Interlude 3]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Piggot was the one behind the decision to use [[Bakuda]]'s bombs as a means to finish off the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]].<ref name="14.4">[[Prey 14.4]]</ref>

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Piggot appeared the most during the [[Monarch]] arc. When [[Dragon]]'s suits were brought to Brockton Bay in an attempt to remove the hold [[the Undersiders]] and [[The Travelers|Travelers]] had put on the city, Piggot was taken hostage in an attempt to end the hostilities. Piggot's health issues quickly prevented a hostage situation from being viable, however, and she was released back to the PRT.<ref name="16.3">[[Monarch 16.3]]</ref>

During [[Coil]]'s coup during the debate, Piggot was stabbed with knives thrown by [[Circus]], incapacitating her.<ref name="16.8">[[Monarch 16.8]]</ref>

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
She was replaced at her post by [[Thomas Calvert]], and when he did not show up, by the career military man [[James Tagg]]. She stayed at least for a little while to advise.<ref name="I20.x">[[Interlude 20.x]]</ref>
