Kate Connors is a City Protection Force officer in the authoritarian metropolis known simply as The City.

Background

Kate and her twin sister Faith were born to Abraham and Erika Connors, activists who opposed the rise of the City's authoritarian regime. During the tragic November Riots, the sisters witnessed their mother's death in the chaos of a violent protest.

Afterward, their father fell into depression and alcoholism. As the family fractured, Faith eventually ran away and survived on the streets, while Kate pursued a more structured life.

Believing she could help people from within the system, Kate joined the City Protection Force. Her career seemed promising until she was framed for the murder of mayoral candidate Robert Pope. Falsely convicted and imprisoned, she became a target in a conspiracy reaching into the highest levels of the City.

Despite overwhelming evidence against her, Faith never doubted Kate's innocence and risked everything to uncover the truth and save her sister.
