| '''Rebecca Costa-Brown''' is the Chief Director of the [[Parahuman Response Team]] while, as Alexandria, she is the second-in-command of the [[Protectorate]] and the leader of the Los Angeles Protectorate team.
| |
| | |
| ==Personality==
| |
| Alexandria has perfect memory, and as such she has a vast understanding of a lot of concepts. Her indestructibility and high position gives her an extremely strong sense of confidence. She has this "air" about her, causing people to get out of her way, treat her with a lot of respect and hush their speaking. <!--This "aura" of command was such th-->
| |
| | |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| Rebecca is a tall, muscular woman with long, straight black hair.
| |
| | |
| As Alexandria, Her costume was black and light gray, with an image of a tower in the center of her chest, and featured a wide, heavy cape that flowed over her shoulders and draped onto the ground beside and behind her<ref>https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/extermination-8-1/</ref>.
| |
| | |
| ==Abilities and Powers==
| |
| Alexandria is considered the epitome of 'flying brick' capes. The triad of flight, strength and invincibility recurs often enough, in enough variations, that it’s often referred to as ‘the Alexandria package’ in honor of her.
| |
| | |
| According to Doctor Mother, Alexandria is one of the strongest parahumans that Cauldron recorded. She has the ability to fly at speeds nearly matching Legend, a virtually invincible body, near-perfect memory retention, accelerated processing and learning, and the ability to sense emotions.
| |
| | |
| Her mental faculties were offloaded to her [[Shard|Passenger]]<ref>[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/worm-quotes-and-wog-repository.294448/page-11#post-19466282 Archived Comment by Wildbow]</ref>, this rendered her immune to the effects of those such as the [[Simurgh]], and were the source of her thinker abilities.

| ==History==
| |
| ===Background===
| |
| | |
| At some point, Rebecca contracted cancer. She was approached by [[Doctor Mother]] who offered her a chance to gain superpowers and she took it despite the risks.
| |
| | |
| After gaining her powers, Rebecca spent two years guarding [[Doctor Mother]] while earning a reputation as a superheroine.
| |
| | |
| Eventually, Alexandria would be introduced to the other members of [[Cauldron]]. [[Hero]] told her that he had heard of her and mentioned how she had taken Strongarm and Mongler before Doctor Mother told them about her abilities. [[Legend]] commented on the fact the heroes usually wore brighter colors and she told him that it was easier to get blood out of her black and grey costume.
| |
| | |
| <p style="font-weight:normal;">Alexandria then informed them of her proposal, that they form a team that followed the regulations and stipulations of the United States government. When asked about who would lead the team, she suggested Hero or Legend. She told them that it was part of an eight stage plan to incorporate parahumans into society before telling them how they could set up the organization she was proposing.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p style="font-weight:normal;">When asked about how she would guarantee the plan, she said that her civilian identity would take a position in the government. She told them that they should consider it before offering to give them booklets full of information relevant to her proposal.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p style="font-weight:normal;">She lost an eye to the Siberian during the same fight that led to [[Hero]]'s death, and required Eidolon's powers to heal her enough to use a glass eye to maintain normal appearance, as normal healers could not affect her due to her power.</p>
| |
| | |
| After Hero's death, she became the leader of a smaller team based in [[Los Angeles]].<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/3koqyc/what_protectorate_team_are_eidolon_and_hero_a/cuz8v53 Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

| ===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
| |
| Alexandria participated in the [[Battle against Echidna]]. She was duplicated, creating [[Apocrypha]], whose appearance revealed her secret identity. [[Ignis Fatuus]] revealed her and her colleagues secret membership of [[Cauldron]].
| |
| ===Post-[[Echidna]]===
| |
| She confronted [[Skitter]] who killed her. She later seemingly returned from the dead in the [[Battle against Behemoth]], her invulnerable body was possessed by [[Pretender]].
| |
| ===[[Golden Morning]]===
| |
| Her body was finally destroyed by [[Scion]].
| |
| ==Quotes==
| |
| *''"Threats is the wrong word … But English is a limited language in some ways. There's really no word to articulate what I mean. A threat with a measure of inevitability to it. A promise? Too feeble. People break promises too often. A curse? A malediction? Too... magical. An oath? The connotations are wrong. When I say I'll do something, I make it happen."''
