Brigid O'Reilly

"Drug busts. In Harlem, it was a good way to leap up the food chain. Thought maybe I could make some noise. But New Orleans is a different bird."

- Brigid O'Reilly

Brigid O'Reilly used to be a police detective from the New York City Police Department who transferred to the New Orleans Police Department. Suspecting that her colleague Connors was a dirty cop, O'Reilly led an investigation in order to find evidence against him and arrest him. Teaming up with Fuchs, who she briefly dated, and Cloak, she managed to get Connors' confession about murdering Billy Johnson. Shortly after however, she discovered that Fuchs had been brutally assassinated.

She tried to keep helping Tyrone Johnson once he was framed for Fuchs' death, but she was taken prisoner with him under Connors' orders. O'Reilly then managed to help contain the outburst of Terrors both inside the precinct and in the streets, but she was ambushed, shot and left for dead by Connors.

However, during the time of her death, she was hit by the Darkforce, and she was resurrected and enhanced, obtaining superhuman powers.
