Bishop started out as a character created in the older Star Trek RPG. I took the name from one of my favorite movies, "Sneakers". Since her creation the only things that have not changed is her last name, Bishop, and the fact that she is a feline humanoid. Currently she exists as two people in two different universes. In the Star Trek universe she has changed a two times once because of a reality shift created by another of my charcters, Charlie. The second time was because of circumstance, she had to disappear from Klingon authority because her sumggling career hit a snag when she was accused of killing nearly 500 Klingons, including some high ranking ones. She struck a deal with a Starfleet Intellegence officer and in exchange for her faked death, Bishop was to carry out some dangerous and unauthorized intellegence missions using an experimental ship. If Bishop hadn't have accepted the deal then most likely her remains would be scattered to the corners of Klingon space. Bishop's latest incarnation is as an ex-space pirate turned privateer/smuggler for another intellegence community in a game system I'm helping to develop.
