Jinx gained her powers not by genetic heritage, but, like many of her kind, because of the malevolent Crogenitor Ingto. Ingto had so shredded the membrane between the necrotic and biotic realms that countless Nocturni were born mutilated or mutated. Many died shortly after their agonizing births.

And a few, like Jinx, became more powerful than anyone could have suspected.

Why Jinx joined the Nocturni Legion, the military force that had conquered her people, was a mystery. Some of her people denounced her as a collaborator and a traitor. Others claimed she was simply naïve or brainwashed. Regardless of her initial motive, Jinx kept her powers a secret, even after she rose to the rank of commander.

Which is when she broke with the Legion and vowed to destroy their masters, the Nocturni Eternals.

Becoming a resistance leader, Jinx turned on her fellow commanders in a devastating betrayal. Employing powers she’d kept hidden from the Legion, Jinx hurled dark matter devastators--darma-like necrotic grenades--at her former Legion-mates.

Taking her finest warriors with her back to their ancestral hives, Jinx sought to liberate her enslaved people. She might have succeeded, had the Darkspore invasion not forced her to change her target from those who'd conquered a world, to those who'd conquered the galaxy.
