Not a huge amount is known about Diana Medusa, although her name often crops up in relation to organised crime, especially in the 2070s and onwards. Medusa was a key member of the Heart of Crime, and rumours abound that she was heavily involved in various heists they carried out during her life.
There has been very little in the way of hard evidence regarding Medusa's criminal activities, and certainly never enough that she'd ever have been called to account for it. It was only after her death that we were able to piece together what little we could. That said, what little we could gather paints an interesting picture.
It is, perhaps, a testament to her skill that she's been able to fly under the radar for so long.
Later on, she seemingly cut ties with the Heart and joined up with Grimm, Storm, Bliss and Nicasius Drake in the expansion of the latter's security service in Capital City. While the details of her employment as the head of a security task-force are well known, nobody truly knows much about her life outside her work. What we do know is that the wealth she often displayed was far greater than one would expect from someone of her salary.
How she came to be this wealthy is left to the reader's speculation.
