Jacky De’Ath

As an ardent student of Greek mythology, Jacky De’Ath had long ago concluded that the Moirai—the trinity of goddesses more commonly known as The Fates—had spun and fashioned their web of destiny so intricately and tightly that they would compel her to adopt a life of criminality. This was evidenced by an inescapable fact—she had taken up a line of work so peculiarly niche and overtly criminal that, had she been discovered, her activities would trump all other red flag priorities of international law enforcement agencies and trigger an Interpol Red Notice for her immediate arrest.

Then again, even without the intervention of the Moirai, Jacky’s saturnine personality and apt surname would no doubt have conspired to increase the likelihood that her eventual occupation would always have centred on human mortality in some shape or form. However, neither at school, college or university had Jacky expressed any interest in pursuing the career choice front-runners that appeared aligned with her character. Not for her, then, a vocation as a funeral director, embalmer, crematorium technician, coroner, forensic pathologist, and the like.
