Emma

Emma is a playable genius in the game Evil Genius 2.

Description[]

Emma wears a formal black dress with a skull badge on it and she dons a yellow bead necklace. Emma rides on a chair with robotic spider like legs with several buttons, a control stick, and a phone. She was formerly the spy master of H.A.M.M.E.R., but after the evil genius took over the world, she helped reform H.A.M.M.E.R. after the fall of the genius. However, upon seeing the world go back to its petty bickering, she realized she needed to end the world.

She holds a deep hatred for humanity and wishes to see to it that it is destroyed. In her trailer it is confirmed she was the former mentor of John Steele, teaching him everything he knows. She intends to teach him one last lesson, "How to die", meaning she wishes to kill him. Her doomsday device is known to be called V.E.N.O.M., which causes mass aggression and panic.

Personality[]

Emma is cold and calculating, a reflection of her past as a spymaster, is also a master of deception excelling much more in this area than the other evil geniuses. Despite being deeply arrogant and misanthropic, she has shown an unusual trait in evil geniuses, a certain level of respect for some henchmen who show to possess some of the same personality traits as her and for her former pupil John Steel. She also enjoys having tea in her spare time and probably enjoys literature based on what can be seen in the decor of her Inner Sanctum with its many bookshelves.

Biography[]

"Emma was a spymaster who saved the world countless times... until the day she failed.

While the overlord ruled, she marshalled her resources and prepared for afterwards. But when order was restored, the world slipped back into its status quo. Emma was horrified. Then, furious. Then, resolute: The world didn't need her to save it.

It needed her to end it."

Abilities[]

Pay attention!: Minions will begin to rally to Emma and prioritize jobs around her such as construction. This also gives minions near her aura Which is called 'Pay attention!' granting them increased spotting power, allowing them to (Supposedly) see through agent disguises easier.

Plotter: Emma bolsters her henchmen, resetting their cooldowns, and giving them an edge.

Spymaster: Emma's history as a former S.A.B.R.E. spymaster has left her with intimate knowledge of her foes. Her deception minions are more efficient, and she can reduce heat more efficiently across the world.

Emma's deception minions deal +5 resolve damage when distracting agents, as well as needing 25% less salary.

In combat, Emma completely lacks a ranged attack and will attack by using her spider chair's legs. She does not hit the hardest so it is advised to keep her out of combat when possible. At first Emma executes her minions by making her chair crush them. Later down the line Emma unlocks the mini venom, which sends a robotic spider to poison the selected minion. Mini Venom has a much larger range, allowing more minions to be "inspired" by the execution of the minion.

Doomsday Device[]

Emma's operation builds a doomsday device code-named V.E.N.O.M. A machine loaded with pheromone gases inspired by hate, greed, and envy, which send both humans and beasts exposed to it into a violent frenzy while also bolstering their physical resilience.

The ensuing chaos results in a massive drop of heat([[1]]) for the targeted region, as well as creating an opportunity in that region which drops heat by the same amount in both rest of the continent, and another continent of a different agency (The other agency will be stated in the scheme). This bonus operation does not incur the wrath of any super agents who may be monitoring the area.

It is important to note V.E.N.O.M's firing will also affect a small, random number of minions in your lair, causing them to go berserk and attack other minions until they are put down.

Trivia[]

She is voiced by Samantha Bond who played Moneypenny in the James Bond film for the Pierce Brosnan arc.
Emma's name and handler relationship to John Steele, are likely references to James Bond's handler "M" (more specifically, the version depicted by actress Dame Judi Dench).
An error in her Bio says she worked for H.A.M.M.E.R. This is likely a typo as Emma working for S.A.B.R.E. makes much more sense due to her relationship with John Steele. However, Emma claims she works for H.A.M.M.E.R. late into the campaign.
- This might come from the fact that the West-Europe region move from being a S.A.B.R.E. region in the first game to a H.A.M.M.E.R. region in the second game, preventing confusion for players who did not play the original game.
- Emma's Impressive desk's description does list her as having worked for S.A.B.R.E. in the past, stating she had a desk just like it.

Once the mission "Dear John" is finished, the decoration "Painting of a friend" becomes unavailable and will not be able to be built, only a previously placed one will be available. This leaves only the "Painting of an enemy" this could mean that, since Emma finally killed John Steele Sr., She had killed her finest enemy, which was her last chance of redemption and good friend.
