Character History

Welcome To Primatech

Inside a Company training room, Tina kicks a large man into the air, knocking him out . She turns and walks past a wall where two men are standing. She lists their names and abilities before asking them what the first rule every good agent must follow is. Ethan answers the question and Tina smiles at him, touches his chest and yells that he is wrong. Using her strength, Tina throws Ethan across the room. She then turns to Joshua and tells him that a good agent must remember that their targets are the same as they are, "different". She tells Joshua to go to his room because his training session is over. As he leaves, Tina turns back to Ethan with an angry look on her face.

Angela Petrelli later views security footage of Tina in her car, screaming at Ethan to start her car. Using his ability, Ethan starts the car. Tina is later chosen to be one of the agents who will be sent after two recently spotted escaped detainees.

Villains

In Primatech Research, Tina gives agents, Joshua Lincoln, Ethan Campbell and Tyson Russel a debriefing on their two targets, including information on their abilities and background stories. Tina asks them if they are ready and all agents agree to join the mission.

Arriving at Central Park, Tina and the others find several people who appear to have fallen under the influence of Nicholas' touch. The group decide to split into pairs to locate their targets and Tina agrees to go with Tyson. Searching an area of the park, Tina and Tyson come across a badly beaten couple. Tyson comes to the conclusion that the more sanity Nicholas absorbs, the stronger he gets. Tina reassures Tyson that no matter what she is stronger. Nicholas then jumps in front of the agents and takes a hold of Tyson. Tina reacts quickly to this and pucnhes Nicholas, sending him flying through the air. Nicholas recovers quickly and uses amazing speed to catch up to Tina. He uses enhanced strength to attack her and Tina is eventually knocked out after being kicked into the air and slamming hard into the floor.

Infiltration

Tina stands while Angela talks with Joshua about his next assignment. Later, Tina is doing her routine inspections when she comes across a gallery devoted to the work of Isaac Mendez. She wanders through it, fascinated by the prophetic images. She finally comes to the end of the gallery and finds a painting depicting the world splitting in half. Angry, she rushes to meet Angela and confronts her on the topic. Angela reveals that the mission Jordan is on will change the future but in order to do so, the agent must endure brutal torture. Tina is left shocked by this declaration.

After Apocalypse

Tina's future is seen by Jordan.

Escape

During Angela's coma, Tina is put in charge of Primatech. She authorizes a mission to rescue Jordan and then goes to Angela's bedside. She informs Angela of the changes she plans to make in order to fix the wrongs that she has done. Tina receives a phone call from Lois, a former Primatech agent, and is shocked to discover that Angela placed her as a mole inside of Pinehearst. When Lois asks for help, Tina hangs up the phone and stares at Angela angrily.

Tina manages to hack in to Angela's files and discovers that the final mission Angela authorized was one involving Joshua and Alan. Tina looks at the file and learns that they were sent after the last Level 5 Escapee, Emily Rose. Tina grabs a gun and rushes to help.

Fallen Angel

Tina drives to an unknown location, constantly checking the time on her watch. As she is driving, she looks at the eclipse and then calls Tyson, informing him about the situation with Emily.

Via Emily's flashbacks, it is revealed that five years ago Tina and Tyson captured Emily and locked her up in Level 2. Tina visited Emily a few years later and informed her that the Company had stopped researching for a cure. Angry, Emily kills Tina's partner and she is placed on Level 5. In present time, with the eclipse nearly finished, Tina pulls over and pulls out Emily's folder. She tells Emily to hold on and then continues to drive.

Assignment Tracker Page

As a young girl, Tina was usually ignored as her parents' attention was focused on the young Zahn Hahn, Tina's cousin who had become their ward following her parents' death. Zahn was consistantly better at everything Tina did, pleasing Tina's parents to such an extent that Tina was seemingly forgotten. One evening, while Mr and Mrs Bui were away at a dinner, theives broke into the house to steal the valuable diamonds that Mr Bui and his company held. Tina was shot and Zahn survived without a scratch. Following that night, Tina discovered that she was much stronger than other people her age. Further testing of her power made her realise that she was stronger than everybody. She contacted a doctor, who alerted The Company. A Bag and Tag was initiated and Tina was monitored for four years before a recruitment process was ordered. Tina became an agent to the highest class and currently holds the record for the fastest completion of the training simulation. Her ability, matched with her skill in martial arts makes her one of the best agents in The Company's history. Out of all of Tina's missions, only one target has ever escaped her grasp. Nicknamed the "Sandman", a special with the ability to control sand managed to avoid Tina's capture during a mission in Cairo.

After long years of bagging and tagging, Tina put in her resignation but was instead reassigned to training new recruits, a job which she found personally rewarding.

The file also contains a psychological profile:

Tina's initial jealousy towards other women comes from her childhood problems with her cousin/"sister" Zahn Hahn. However, Tina's control over her mental state and her determination to remain kind and caring has managed to drive these jealous qualities away, at least for now.

Evolved Human Abilities

Tina possesses greater physical strength, stamina, agility and endurance than normal human beings. She has shown that she has enough strength to knock out a very large, muscular man with a single kick as well as lift a man bigger then her above her head and throw him several metres across the room.

According to her assignment tracker, Tina's biological is 97, her cerebral is 52, her elemental is 20 and her temporal/spatial is 13. Tina's control index is 82%.
