History

Three years before the Skrull Invasion Victoria was a accountant for S.H.I.E.L.D. who was in a relationship with another agent named Isabelle. Victoria was determined to send a letter informing Director Nick Fury how he was mishandling the War on Terror. Isabelle implored Victoria not to send the letter but Victoria did anyways and was transferred immediately to Portland, Oregon. As a result Isabelle, furious that she did not listen to her, ended their relationship.

Three years in the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn rose to power. He picked Victoria as his deputy director for her hawkish positions regarding anti-terrorism. When Norman transformed S.H.I.E.L.D. into H.A.M.M.E.R. Victoria was immediately tasked with ferreting out any S.H.I.E.L.D. agents loyal to Nicky Fury, Captain America or Iron Man. However, she was unable to eliminate everyone, as a number of double agents were working for Fury and to come up with the meaning of the acronym for H.A.M.M.E.R.

Victoria was witness to all the illegal and unethical dealings Osborn was doing, like shooting down a plane to see how powerful Pepper Potts' suit was, conspiring with criminals like the Hood or Doctor Doom for personal power, defrauding the American administration, etc. She remains loyal to Osborn, knowing that eventually he will give into his madness, especially since he hasn't slept since his rise to power.
