She joins Maya's rebel force alongside T.J. Combo to destroy an Ultratech laboratory and broadcast evidence of their crimes to the world. When Eagle is reported dead, Orchid takes on the Black Orchid persona and joins the tournament to find out what happened, where she is almost killed by Jago before realizing he is her brother, the two vowing to find out what had happened to Orchid's father and Jago's mother. During her missions, she meets and befriends Maya and recruits Eagle to the Disavowed, sending him to infiltrate the Killer Instinct tournament. Believing that Ultratech framed her, Orchid emigrates to the Carpathian Mountains in Eastern Europe, where she forms an underground spy ring known as the Disavowed, made up of others wronged by Ultratech who seek to take them down. Accused of Weaver's murder, Orchid is branded a terrorist and forced to flee the country. Disbelieving her findings, Weaver claims that Orchid has become paranoid and unstable and dismisses her, but is killed in a bombing later that night. However, her cover is blown and she destroys the lab with her Firecat and escapes. Orchid agrees and begins taking on missions for them, piecing together clues linking Ultratech to a terrorist cabal, while discovering from Jacob's journal that he had an affair and fathered a son.Ī decade later, Weaver assigns Orchid to a deep cover operation at Ultratech posing as a scientist, where she first learns of the Pinnacle Protocol and that several SWD members are under ARIA's control. Running from her new foster family and living on the streets, the teenage Orchid is eventually found by SWD commander Major Weaver, who reveals Jacob was in fact assassinated by Ultratech, giving her his journal, and asks her to join the organization.

Two years later, they are found by the Special Warfare Department, a covert sect of the U.S.'s Homeland Security, and Jacob is forced to return to service in exchange for her freedom, being killed in a suicide bombing a year later. Fearing the government or Ultratech would use her as a tool, he teaches her combat, weapons usage, and summoning the Firecat.

Following this, Jacob takes her to an isolated mountain cabin for training, as Orchid had inherited the ability to summon the Firecat from her grandmother, who gained it following her participation in the Project Aries 9 experiment during World War II. Raised by her single father Jacob, a member of Seal Team 6, Orchid exhibits emotional instability from a young age, once nearly burning down her school while placing blame on what she refers to as 'the Firecat'.
