[edit] Fictional character biography
She was part of the Iraqi mercenary team called Desert Sword when they fought Freedom Force, led by Crimson Commando. Desert Sword was to prevent Freedom Force from liberating a German scientist named Reinhold Kurtzmann in Kuwait. Desert Sword ambushed them and Aminedi decapitated Super Sabre and cut off Crimson Commando's right arm. Kurtzmann was captured by Freedom force but then recaptured by desert Sword. Pyro still managed to kill Kurtzmann though. Black Raazer, the Veil and Arabian Knight cornered the now retreating Pyro and Blob in an alley. Black Raazer and Knight stabbed Blob who then slammed the two of them against a wall and returned their swords, critically wounding Arabian Knight. Pyro, who had knocked Veil to the floor with a flaming monster, cooly walked up to her and said "Barbecued babe, comin up.". Veil was burned to death.
