Biography
Victoria Hand is a high-ranking Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with level 8 clearance. Hand is well-known to lower ranking agents and has a reputation for brusqueness and expects promptness from agents under her.

Hand oversaw an operation from the Hub to destroy an enemy weapon called the Overkill Device and neutralize the South Ossetian rebels that built it.

To this end, she assigned agents Grant Ward and Leo Fitz with the task of neutralizing the weapon before launching the attack. Ward and Fitz were successful, and the attack commenced.

Despite not having an extraction plan for Ward and Fitz, Hand was confident that their team-leader, Agent Phil Coulson would secure his team's safe return.

In 2014, Hand directed a S.H.I.E.L.D. team to take custody of the notorious criminal Vanchat during a transaction to sell Chitauri metal to an unknown buyer.
