| Kulap Vilaysack escaped her native Laos as a child, together with her mother. Via Thailand, they made it to the United States, where they boarded with a Baptist family in Minnesota. Her mother opened a restaurant, while Kulap joined the police force. |
| Her career in the force didn't last long. After being forced to let a man who had murdered an immigrant girl go, she attacked him in his apartment with a kitchen knife, barely leaving him alive. Rumours that she castrated him were heard, but not true. |
| With her police career gone, Vilaysack became a vigilante. Taking the name Katharsis , she joined the Disgraced, the core enforcement team of Knightfall (Charise Carnes). It is likely that Carnes financed Vilaysack’s artificial wings. |
