Backstory
Ama Osei comes from an affluent family who gained their wealth through dubious political means. As a child, she attended prestigious international schools abroad, which enabled her to nurture an aptitude for inventing. However, after returning to Ghana, she reconnected with her childhood best friend Efua only to discover her once-bright friend had become embroiled in a terrorist group.
When Ama tried but failed to talk Efua out of her violent path, Efua revealed that Ama’s father had misused public funds to bankroll Ama’s comfortable lifestyle overseas. Shortly after, Efua was killed thwarting a kidnapping attempt on Ama by Efua’s gang to blackmail Ama’s politician parents.
The tragedy opened Ama’s eyes to the deep corruption ruining her homeland. Though her parents tried to justify their actions, a disgusted Ama disowned them and claimed her inheritance, which included properties and businesses her family had bought with dirty money. She decided to become the vigilante Nighteagle to take down people like her parents by force.
With help from her university mentor Professor Max Mercer, Ama created an armored high-tech suit and AI drone to achieve her vision as Nighteagle. She disrupts criminal operations ranging from drug rings to corporate fraudsters while aided by police informant Ike Bediako. Though initially motivated by vengeance for Efua, Nighteagle continues her crusade in memory of her lost friend.
