Angel was an orphan adopted by former spy and mercenary Gregor, aka the Wolf, who found her a prisoner in the Temple of Clouds in the Himalayas. She grew into a beautiful young woman, although her father's enemies made the notion of settling down in one place virtually impossible.

Once Angel reached adulthood, she somehow gained the ability to fly. This power drew unwanted attention from many who thought to exploit the young woman, forcing her to become a fugitive.
