Biography

Portia Lin is tough both inside and out. She has the true makings of a leader, showing both strength and compassion. She is also determined and headstrong and won't let anyone or anything stand in her way.

In Episode One, Portia displays strong fighting skills which indicate she may have had training in the past.

Episode One also revealed Portia is on the Galactic Authority's Most Wanted List for murder, assault, arson, theft and piracy.

In Episode Two, Portia is notably distressed by the information The Android recovered about her. She refuses to answer to the name Portia, requesting to be addressed as Two as though she is attempting to distance herself from her past. ^[1]

In Episode Five, it was revealed that Portia and Marcus had been having a relationship. After getting a mission from their handler, Portia boarded the freighter Far Horizon. While on the freighter, she was attacked and bitten by a person infected with the Taurian Alpha Virus. She was brought back to the Raza and placed into quarantine where a scan verified the presence of a Taurian Alpha Virus infection. Portia had an anxious wait throughout the incubation period, but when symptoms of the virus failed to manifest, she was retested and cleared of any infection. She later went to visit Marcus in private, but he resisted after what had happened to her. She left and removed her bandage revealing her bite wound had miraculously healed.

In Episode Ten, Portia was blown into space after a group of mercenaries the team had been working alongside on the orders of Commander Delaney Truffault turned on the team.

In Episode Eleven, it was revealed that Portia had managed to survive being blown into space due to the fact that she was a very advanced synthetic. With Das's help, the two were able to take back the ship. Subsequently, majority of the crew excluding One and Five distrust Two, mainly displayed by Three.

In Episode Twelve, it was revealed that Portia was made by Dwarf Star Technologies. Alex told her she is a perfect creation that can withstand any injury but she has a neural flaw that makes her prone to violence. She also has to age to avoid suspicion from the GA so she isn't hunted down since she is illegal technology. She also learned her original name was Rebecca before she changed it to Portia Lin.

In Episode Fourteen, Two was brought to Hyperion-8 as a Galactic Authority prisoner with Three and Four. While there Three gets in several fights ending with Nyx Harper, whom Two steps in and defends Three. They both fight and are soon incapacitated by head guard Durand. Their both put in solitary and both hang out in the Sim Yard where they became allies. Later, One is killed, whom Two had been in a relationship with.

In Episode Twenty-Two, it was revealed Two's nanites had been slowly loosing power and now it's getting worse, leaving her to a slow death. The Raza crew went to a Dwarf Star Technologies Station on Earth to get her a new generation of improved nanites. During the preparation of the heist she was reacquainted with her past friend Eric Waver. The only survivor Rebecca had left from her first escape from DST, due to his compassion for her. He and his co-workers aided the group with the break in.

While getting the nanites she was confronted with Rook who now viewed her as a failure to his career and had his new prototype attempt to kill her. Ryo intervened and killed the prototype and Six used it's upgraded nanites to revive and heal Two.

In Episode Twenty-Three, the ship is infected with a virus that causes hallucinations through the neural link. Two has a hallucination of iron-masked people who seem to be sent by Rook. They want to put her in a torture chair. Six and Nyx snap her out of it.

The Simulated Android attempts to kill the crew and disable the ship, starting with venting toxic gas from the coolant system.
