Role-Playing Notes:
Scarlet Fasinera was the daughter of an abusive father.  As a result, she grew up with terribly low self-esteem.

Stained Glass Scarlet was a vigilante at first, devoted to killing criminals such as Manny Sindone.  Lately, her overriding need to see her sins forgiven has driven her insane, and she has begun committing random acts of arson.  Since escaping from her last confrontation with Moon Knight, there have been no known attacks from her.  At the scene of each of her crimes, Scarlet leaves her mark, a diamond figure with an "S" etched on a wall, usually in blood.  Scarlet is mentally unstable, being fixated on Moon Knight, her own gnawing guilt, and fire, which she hopes would "cleanse the world of her guilt."


History:
Scarlet's father constantly abused her as she grew up, both physically and psychologically.  In order to cover his own sins, Scarlet's father kept blaming her for all of his problems, telling her that she was a sinner, and that she could not be forgiven.  Finally, one night, she lit a cigarette and placed it in her father's bed.  Her father burned to death and the police assumed the fire was an accident.  Scarlet was sent to live with her aunt and uncle.

Scarlet's childhood immediately improved, despite the intense guilt she felt for her father's death.  She devoured the poetry of the romantic poets, especially William Blake.  She grew up and joined a convent.  Then her luck changed again.  She fell in love with and married a petty criminal named Vince Fasinera.  He was an abusive husband, who eventually died when he was shot to death on the stairs of a church.  By that time, Scarlet was pregnant with their son, Joseph.

She spent the next few years of her life trying to raise Joseph.  When he was 13, however, he fell under the influence of Manny Sindone, who hooked him on heroin.  Within a year, he was working for Sindone, under the well-deserved epithet of "Mad Dog" Fasinera.  His criminal actions eventually brought him into conflict with Moon Knight.  To prevent him from killing Moon Knight, Scarlet shot and killed her own son.  Several months later, Moon Knight again encountered Scarlet, who was now working as a crossbow-toting vigilante calling herself Stained Glass Scarlet.  Despite Moon Knight's attempts to stop her, Scarlet killed Manny Sindone and broke up his gang.  Moon Knight allowed Scarlet to escape.

Moon Knight did not encounter Scarlet again for quite some time.  During that time, her guilt had driven her over the edge.  She had begun roaming the streets of New York, killing those guilty of "sin" as she saw it.  Her victims were all men, the homeless being the easiest targets.  At this time, Scarlet had gathered several young homeless women as followers.  She trained them in personal combat, skills she picked up as a vigilante.

It was soon after this that Moon Knight (Marc Spector) became aware of Scarlet's presence via the link they shared.  They met and did battle, but the results were inconclusive.  Not long thereafter, Scarlet appeared at Spector's Manhattan penthouse, apparently seeking Moon Knight.  Instead she found Spector's aide, Frenchie, and his girlfriend, Chloe.  Scarlet wounded Frenchie, warned Chloe of the "demons" (men) of the world.  Scarlet then left her symbol (with her own blood) on he wall, and fled.

Soon, Scarlet had a passionate reunion with Moon Knight atop a bridge, then stabbed him in the back while they kissed.  She threw his body into the East River.  Moon Knight barely survived.

Scarlet then became convinced that the only way to purge New York of its sins was to burn it down.  She began a series of random bombings, designed to burn the evil from New York.  She saw Moon Knight as an angel of mercy, who was the only person capable of redeeming her and ending her madness.  Eventually, Moon Knight confronted Scarlet on the Brooklyn Bridge and forced her to reject some of her fantasies about him.  She leapt off the Brooklyn Bridge and has not been seen since, despite Moon Knight's attempt to save her at the bridge.
