“Caitlin Key: Making Sure The Scheme Is Clean.”
An established criminal in Blough City, Caitlin Key aka Verge is something of a fixer, someone who “puts missions together” and makes sure that those involved in criminal activities get away safely with no evidence left behind (like “what if the guy from Drive got out of the car”).
Although she participates in crimes and violence, her main role when participating in criminal activity is as someone who helps people get out of places), “an angry gangster in Blough City”, bootlegger, a sort of fixer, helping “move people around by using her portal powers (see below).
Caitlin also runs a speakeasy in the basement of The Grand Canary Hotel. This goes some way to explain why she keep liquor under the seats of her car.
Although she was part of the Omega Love riots, she (along with the rest of Blough City’s population) doesn’t fully remember it.
Caitlin doesn’t usually wear women’s clothes. When seen in Extracurricular: Out Of Time, Caitlin wears a tailored suit, with each part of the suit made of a fabric with a different pattern (a button down shirt with gingham pattern, a houndstooth vest, a herringbone coat and tartan plaid pants), which she wears to attract attention but also to annoy people in a specific way.
When attending Gale Green's party during this arc, she wears a long evening dress which is wholly made of the same fabric but is separated into panels, giving it the same look as her previous suit. She also wears a jewelled headband and a sheer caplet.
She is described as looking like Mary from Downton Abbey, with her hair in an eton crop style.
