I am the daughter of a Greek ambassador. I studied martial arts as an adolescent. While in the US with my father, I began studies in political science at New York's Columbia University. There I met another student, Matthew Murdock, who would later become Daredevil. Murdock revealed to me that he had superhuman senses that compensated for his blindness, and we fell in love. A year later, me and my father were held hostage by terrorists in a building on campus. Wearing a scarf as a mask, Murdock with my help defeated the terrorists. However, a policeman mistook my father for one of the terrorists and shot him dead. Emotionally shattered, I decided I no longer believed in the law and wanted to withdraw from the world. I left America and Murdock.I eventually studied martial arts with a sensei in Japan. I left to join the secret organization of martial artists headed by Stick, who was also Matt's sensei. I spent a year in Stick's order and greatly developed my martial arts skills. But, Stick asked me to leave the group because I was still filled with pain over my father's death and hatred for the world I blamed for it.I returned to my previous sensei. Determined to prove myself to Stick, I infiltrated the Hand, a secret order of ninjas devoted to assassination and domination through fear. I intended to subvert their activities, but the Hand instead tricked me into killing my sensei. I served the Hand for a time, but eventually resisted their corruption and fled Japan.I spent years as a bounty hunter and assassin for hire. While working in New York City, I crossed paths with Daredevil, whom I discovered was Matt Murdock, my old love. Daredevil vehemently opposed my activities, but we still cared deeply for one another. We fought the Hand together, but then I was hired by Wilson Fisk, the alleged Kingpin-of-Crime, as his chief assassin. In this role I fought Daredevil and was ordered to kill Matt's best friend and law partner, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson. However, I could not go through with the assassination when Foggy recognized me as "Matt's girl, Elektra." Soon afterwards, I fought and was killed by the Kingpin's former chief assassin, Bullseye, who sought to reclaim his former position with the Kingpin. I died in Matt Murdock's arms, seeming lost forever.I was resurrected by Stone, a member of Stick's order and once again became a hired assassin. I did not reveal myself to Murdock for many years, but we have crossed paths numerous times since, with me helping him in times of great need. But, we have not rekindled our love interest as Murdock is now married.
