As PRT Director, her duties included managing the local Protectorate, 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. She was unaware of her favorite color, although according to Dragon it is silver.<ref name="I13">Interlude 13</ref>

Piggot is an innately suspicious person but especially harbors a deep hatred towards all capes, 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 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 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. - 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.

Story Start

Piggot reprimanded the Brockton Bay Wards for the many disastrous actions they took while trying to prevent the Undersiders from robbing a 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-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 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>

Quotes

"I’m fighting in a ring where my opponents are bigger, stronger, smarter, faster and better equipped than I am, and the cost of failure on my end is far greater than it is for any of you."
