Ketura Mahmid

Ketura Mahmid, born 21st July 1989, is an Israeli assassin for the Mossad, part of the elite Kidon 1. She became involved with Damien after their paths became crossed chasing the same man, who he was robbing and she was trying to assassinate.

Background
Born into a family of lawyers, Ketura broke the mould and the expectations placed upon her by staying with the IDF after her mandatory service had expired. Soon after, she was able to join the elite Unit 669, the pararescue arm of the Israeli Air Force, a prestigious position for her. She excelled in the service, and her talents were noticed by those high up in the Mossad. Wanting to help her country more than by simply evacuating soldiers from the frontline, she immediately accepted the job offer when the Mossad approached her. From there, she met Adira Cohen, and the two became best friends throughout whatever harsh training or deadly mission the Mossad threw at them. Together, they progressed into the elite Kidon 1, until it was officially disbanded, upon which she became an instructor on military skydiving for new recruits. She was the first to see Adira's attraction to Damien, and likes to think she nurtured the relationship to it's full potential.

Family
Her parents are unknown, but she was expected to follow in their footsteps to become a lawyer, which she turned down for the military. The rest of her family hardly talk to her, which suits her just fine.

Personality
Ketura is a sharp witted person, and uses her razor tongue to make up for her lack of height in Kidon 1.

Skills
Being a former member of Unit 669 and a current Mossad assassin, she is an expert in military skydiving and most aerial operations. She is an adept helicopter pilot and is knowledgable in all types of rescue situations, making her an excellent climber, runner and swimmer. From her Mossad training, she gained a talent for knifework and Krav Maga, although parachuting always remained her love. Ketura can speak Hebrew, Arabic and English fluently, although her English still has a slight accent.

Physical Appearance
Ketura stands much shorter than her towering friend Adira at 5'5", but she makes up for it with her sharp tongue. Like Adira, she has her former unit's emblem tattooed on her upper right back, the winged cat of Unit 669. She has several scars from falling down a cliff, scraping her arm and side, in a training exercise, as well as a few knife wounds during Mossad training.
