Rose Tattoo is a villain, an antihero and a superhero in the WildStorm Universe and is the embodiment of murder.

Origin

Existing perhaps as long as the idea of murder, Rose Tattoo was a spirit recruited by the superhero The High with the intent of creating a new world order and a better world before being manipulated by Henry Bendix to become an assassin for Stormwatch.

Biography

It is hard to say how Rose Tattoo was created, as she is the living personification of the idea of murder.  Sometime in the 1960s, she was discovered by the superhero The High, who made her part of a conspiracy to create a new world order with the intent of creating a paradise on Earth.  She met Henry Bendix, a young field agent who was working directly for Richard Nixon at the time, and Bendix immediately fell in love with her.
