This article is about the enemy faction. For the Epic Archetype, see Arachnos Widow.

Overview

The Night Widows are Arachnos' beautiful and deadly assassins.

Night Widows are trained in the arts of stealth, infiltration, and disguise.
They spend most of their time in civilian clothes and assumed identities, ferreting out secrets or blackmailing business leaders into cooperating with Arachnos's designs.
If assigned a mission that involves combat, the Night Widow has discretion to form a strike team composed of other Arachnos forces. (1)

This Arachnos Corps is under command of Ghost Widow (2)


NOTABLE NIGHT WIDOWS


Contact Small Ghost Widow.jpg Ghost Widow
Ghost Widow is the current leader of the Night Widows. When she was alive, Ghost Widow used to be one of them, but she was killed in action along her whole support squad in 1989. Her ghost started haunting the place shortly after. When Arachnos attempted to exorcize the ghost they realized her immense power and Lord Recluse ordered to recruit her for Arachnos.

Nocturne is known as the deadliest operative Arachnos has ever produced. Ruthless and arrogant, she has a relation of love/hate with Arbiter Sands. Both of them have been assigned to an Arachnos operation in the Paragon City zone of Overbrook.
