Background

Prior to joining UNITY, Cate used to follow a career in thievery due to troublesome childhood and early death of her parents.

Although she made a point never to steal from people of modest means, she did not pretend that her activities were without consequence. She was then noted by agent Bruno Lawrie, when Cate escaped with his watch. It's turned out that the watch was a tracking device, and by the time she arrived to her flat, Bruno was already waiting there. Admiring her talent and fearlessness, he decided to give her a future as an operative for UNITY - international agency charged with combating terrorism around the globe.

Before the First H.A.R.M Incident (The Operative: No One Lives Forever), Cate mainly dealt with minor unnoted assignments. She wasn't completely satisfied with her сareer at UNITY, since she thought that there was no real value in her daily work.
