Evil Kat sometimes known as Queen Bitch of the Whole F*cking Universe, Satan in High Heels, or sometimes just "Mistress" - These are only some of the more common nicknames for a fiery muse sporting the fabled color scheme, "red hair and black leather." Even more importantly, this woman of many monikers is the driving force behind M. R. Sellars and his literary works, not to mention the fact that she is also his wife of more than 20 years. Throughout the years, she has taken on a role as an independent contractor for PUF. Much like a redheaded Jack Bauer in stiletto heels - only way better looking - she is the chief enforcer. The wicked force responsible for the truly heinous torture of the troublemakers and rule breakers apprehended by PUF Security. If you are within earshot and hear them utter the words, "Where's Kat?" you know someone is about to wish they'd never been born. If that someone is you... well... all we can say is, "Wow, that sucks. Been nice knowin' ya'."
