Character History

Graphic Novel:Wireless, Part 1

In 1989, Hana survives a suicide attack when her bus crashes off a cliff. She is hospitalized for at least six months, and misses the funerals of her mother and grandmother. After recovering in 1990, she vows to live up to her family's legacy.

In 1997, Hana attempts to enlist in the Israeli Army as a paratrooper. Despite her skills, her request is denied by the IDF enlisting officer because of "grave concerns about [her] heart". Because her "judgment cannot be trusted", she takes an intelligence position with the Mossad, in which she analyzes, plans attacks, and plots strategies. She seems to know the moves of her enemies before they do. Hana is promoted, but remains unhappy; she continues to work to prove her worthiness. One night while walking the perimeter, she is overtaken by Mr. Bennet, who assures her that he is there to change her life.

Graphic Novel:Wireless, Part 2

Three years after her hospitalization, Hana is sent by her father to a Tel Aviv psychologist to overcome her abandonment issues. In the present, Mr. Bennet asks Hana to trust him. She tries her best to do so, despite her misgivings about trusting people since her mother's and grandmother's deaths. Telling her he works for the CIA, he takes her to a secret facility in Alaska, where she begins to train physically as she continues to be evaluated medically. She grows frustrated with the lack of progress, but is suddenly able to perceive a text message sent to Mr. Bennet by a person named "Thompson". Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by emails, text messages, and satellite transmissions which she is able to perceive out of thin air, and Mr. Bennet knocks her unconscious.

When Hana wakes up several weeks later, she is unable to speak due to her long convalescence, but is able to communicate with Mr. Bennet and his organization by sending messages directly from her mind to cell phones. Mr. Bennet tells her she's ready for her first mission.

Graphic Novel:Wireless, Part 3

Hana embarks on her first mission: acquire computer data from a microbiology lab in Tanzania. Hana secretly monitors the wireless communications of a man named Dr. Henry Strauss, a microbiologist who has created a powerful biological weapon—an alteration to bacterial DNA that renders ordinary stomach microbes deadly. Hana maintains direct contact with Mr. Bennet via her powers, and transmits the material to the laptop in the Bennets' home in Odessa, TX. Hana runs into trouble with the doctor's henchmen, but escapes using her combat skills and remembering the legacy of her grandmother's capture during World War II. Outside the jail, she only finds more armed soldiers.

Graphic Novel:Wireless, Part 4

Hana reveals her CIA connection, and is brought to the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania. There, she talks with an Embassy employee, who informs her that there is no Alaskan facility, and that all the numbers she has given them are disconnected. Hana remembers her family's legacy, and wonders where she went wrong. She begins to discover her identity, and decides to fight. Hana manipulates the sprinklers to create a diversion, then grabs the employee. Holding him hostage, and grabbing a guard's gun, Hana escapes through a window of the Embassy. She feels "alive for the first time".

Hana finds her sanctuary in remote Missoula, MT, where she adopts the name "Samantha". In the secluded state, she enjoys the fresh air and senses wireless transmissions more clearly. She spends her time gathering intelligence on Mr. Bennet and his organization. She comes across an email from one "TEDDYBEAR616", who seems likewise bent on exacting revenge on Mr. Bennet. Hana hastily leaves Montana, and heads south to meet this potential ally.

Flashing back to two weeks after her mother and grandmother died, Hana recounts attempting to fly off her roof using an umbrella to slow herself down. Drawing on this memory, she attacks the five soldiers and takes them hostage.

They fly into orbit and "Dr. Gitelman" heads out for a space walk near the satellite. Hana attempts to tell the satellite to self-destruct by falling into the atmosphere over Australia, but it has a defense mechanism that infects her with a computer virus. She realizes she is "dying... but I'm not dead" and jumps to the satellite to force it down, burning up on re-entry.

Assignment Tracker 2.0

The personal history section of Hana's Assignment Tracker 2.0 profile gives the background on Hana's grandmother and mother, Hana's service in the Israeli Army, and her transfer to Mossad. Hana was recruited by a former Company operative, trained at an Alaskan facility, and sent to Tanzania to intercept data on DNA alteration from Dr. Henry Strauss. She successfully completed the mission, but was upset to learn that she was not working for the CIA, and went "off the grid". Hana's attempt to destroy Company property in China resulted in her physical death, though she found a way to apparently meld herself with the world's computer networks. Hana was able to survive for some time as a virtual computer program of herself, until she was completely disintegrated. Hana's psychological profile (from the Company and from Mossad) notes that she is "unnaturally single-minded and stoical", though she lacks social skills and emotions.
