Biography

Tana Nile

Nile came to be hired by the Fiyero House faction within the Kree empire who sought to take control of the empire by removing remnants of the old guard. Thus, they hired Tana in order to provide false testimony to bring the downfall of those that would threaten them. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #4) She came forth as a witness against Ronan the Accuser where she claimed to had seen him secretly making overtures to Skrull Baroness S'Ybak with him offering to betray the Kree empire in exchange for control over the conquered territories. It was her testimony that saw Ronan fall from grace as he was stripped of his badge as a Public Accuser and exiled to a periphery world. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #1) Ronan later decided to seek her out in order to find the truth about his exile leading to Tana going into hiding. She went to the world of Godthab Omega where she joined the ranks of Gamora's band of female warriors known as the Graces. Upon joining them, she had requested their aid in protecting her from the Kree Accuser. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #2) The planet later came under attack from the forces of the Annihilation Wave that emerged from their dimension in the Negative Zone to conquer the positive-matter universe. The Graces stronghold on Mount Virago came under attack from the insectoid horde with Tana Nile participating in the defence but she was fatally injured fighting them off. Ronan arrived and came to hear her confession over the conspiracy by Fiyero House but she passed away shortly afterwards. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #4)
