Enforcer84 Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I need a Secret Id name for a villainess mastermind. She's old money She's brilliant (a tactician, not technician) She has some of the highest tech known to the world at the time (she bought it) Villainess Nomme De Guerre: The Night Wraith I'd like her to have a nice old european name that exudes class and nobility. With a dash of sinister... any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamamura Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Help a brother out. Good Lady Ducayne is a villainess (an aged vampiress) from Mary E. Braddon story of that name.

Lord Liaden Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Help a brother out. Well, how about Duchess Henrietta Von Drotte? No, seriously. She has all the required specks. I could certainly see her taking a Secret ID to be able to maneuver against her rivals in VIPER's Council of Thirty. And her "son" is the Dark Prowler, so calling herself "Night Wraith" wouldn't be much of a stretch. Okay, probably not what you had in mind and not very helpful. I'll give it more thought after I've had some sleep. (Still a cool idea, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Help a brother out. Alexandria Von Drog Alexandria because it is the feminine form of the name of a conquerer... and Von Drog because IIRC, Drog means Ghost in German, a hint to her identity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdamnhero Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Re: Help a brother out. What kind of old money? British or New England => hyphenated last names like Something-Smythe. German => always Von Something or Von de Something. French => something ending in -eaux or -les or -ies. bigdamnhero "No, *this* must be what going crazy feels like."
