Lusha Talbot

Lusha Talbot is the current director of the EDI. A prodigy, she joined the EDI in 1492 and became the Director in 1496, after proving that she was a very capable agent--the most skilled of all of them, in fact. Lusha is a skilled martial artist, acrobat, and fencer. She is known as being very intelligent, ruthless, and beautiful. She was revealed to be a member of Kastair United who could control time, and was the leader of the Keepers of the Oasis.

Early life
Not much is known of Lusha's early life, other than she was born in Central City and was an orphan. She has said that she was raised by foster parents and attended Central City Elementary and Central City Junior High. When asked about how she grew up, she said that she lived in a suburban home and went to school in the city, making friends from all over the region. Her first job was as a waitress, then she worked as a stock clerk. She trained in martial arts regularly, as well as being a good student. She was both smart and strong.

College
Lusha attended and graduated.

EDI
After college, in 1492, she joined the EDI. Becoming one of their top agents and a skilled martial artist, she rose through the ranks. In 1496, she became Director of the EDI, being nominated by Hanna Rune. Some suspected it was cronyism, but many insiders favored her nomination because Lusha was very capable and had proven herself.

In her first year as EDI Director, she cracked down on the Iron Ring, a group of galactic criminals who smuggled illegal drugs to Earth. She also had Marco Gunther, a space pirate wanted since 1488, arrested.

In 1499, Lusha gave a speech and swore that she would work on behalf of the president to get Brother Martin freed from imprisonment on Zares.

After the Kastair United incident
During the events of the Kastair United Conflict, Lusha had stayed behind in the ruined SC Capital, underground in the EDI's HQ. She wanted to send agents to rescue Rune, but she knew that the crew would rescue them.

On June 4, 1500, Lusha reported disturbances detected by earth's satellites and an earthquake in the east. She claimed it was not normal natural disasters and something was causing it. Jericho (who was working as a bodyguard) and Zion (who was visiting) both sensed the disturbances and felt a great power. The terrible power was felt briefly and appeared to vanish and reappear as if something was clawing, trying to escape from whatever it was trapped in...

Lusha also brought news to Rune that the galactic jewel thief, Krom III, had been caught and arrested.
