Lena Ortiz

Lena, a character in the The Heist: Monaco series, is Ansel's ex-employee and ex-girlfriend. She is a potential member of your crew. She is first seen in The Heist: Monaco, Chapter 2.

Appearance
Lena has tanned skin, brown shoulder length hair and brown eyes. She wears a grey shirt, a fuschia leather jacket and black pants.

Personality
She is determined to get her revenge on Ansel. As soon as you bring up his name, she tells you she's onboard with being your muscle. Unlike Uppercut Jones, she isn't afraid to use violence to solve her problems, as shown when she beats up a group of bikers that were harassing her. She seems to be used to working by herself, given that she seems genuinely surprised if you attack a biker who was sneaking up on her. She believes she is better at ass-kicking than sweet-talking.

Anton Edison
If Anton is your hacker, they don't interact much except when Anton asks to be the "bad cop" to her "good cop" and when she escorts him to the main security office of the palace. When she knocks out a guard, he's mad she wasted an opportunity for a cool one-liner until she tells him that she doesn't do one-liners. "I don't do one-liners is a dope one-liner." And to her surprise, she agrees with him.
