Apex Legends is full of interesting characters, from athletic amputee Octane to showboating trickster Mirage to fence-building engineer Wattson. Next up is the sniper Vantage, who will be joining the roster as part of Season 14: Hunted. We knew she was coming, and now we know her backstory and motivations too.

Vantage actually leaked ahead of her official reveal, but the new Stories from the Outlands cinematic gives us a great picture of the character. Vantage, whose real name is Mara, grew up on an isolated snow planet, occupied only by her and her mother. While hunting, Mara stumbled upon a crashed prison ship called the G.D.S. Vantage. Inside, she befriended a little baby bat, whom she later adopted as her pet and called it Echo.

She also learned that her mother is an escaped prisoner of this ship, and its security forces gravely injured Mara on her way out. Seeing her wounded daughter, Mara’s mother placed a distress signal in her hand — this is how she was eventually rescued and brought to the Apex Games. There, she’s competing under the same name as the ship, Vantage.

Vantage’s abilities were also leaked, so we have a good idea of how she’ll play. When aiming down sights or looking through a scope, her passive ability will display information about the target’s loadout. Her active ability actually sends Echo out into the battlefield, letting the squad launch to the little bat’s location. Finally, her ultimate scans and marks enemies, boosting the whole squad’s damage against those targets.
