I admit it, I admit I’m weaker, slower, my options are pretty limited in a fight. But I’m tenacious. I’m shameless, if I have to be, because I refuse to lose to you. And I find it pretty fucking poetic that I have the upper hand because of the very things that you capes look down on us for.

—Emily Piggot to the Undersiders and the Travelers, Monarch 16.3

Emily Piggot is a former Director of the PRT ENE. As PRT Director, her duties included managing the local Protectorate, Wards, and PRT agents.

Personality[]

Emily is an extremely stubborn and strong-willed woman who refuses to give ground in any situation. When taken captive, she makes no effort to request release or otherwise lose face, but instead remains calm. She also appears to have little sense of humor, or indeed any personality not closely related to her job.[6] She was unaware of her favorite color, although according to Dragon it is silver.[5]

Piggot is an innately suspicious person but especially harbors a deep distrust towards all capes, believing them to be bullies at best and monsters at worst.[6][7] Her tunnel vision towards capes aren't entirely unjustified, as, during the Nilbog mission, where she was crippled and her entire squad killed, the supporting capes ran for their lives and left the non-parahumans to die.[8] Despite those feelings, she still works as Director for the PRT ENE to provide guidance and oversight to capes as is her duty.

Despite these prejudiced views, Piggot is aware of some of her own shortcomings as a person, saying that she knows she is ugly and fat and that it would be a waste of time for Tattletale to psychoanalyze her.[7]

As a former PRT agent, she was trained in resisting mental and emotional attacks.[9][10]

Appearance[]

Piggot is an obese woman with steel-grey eyes[11] and a bleached blonde bob-style haircut. She is usually seen wearing a navy blue jacket and skirt.[12]

History[]

Background[]

Piggot was a PRT field agent before being assigned to the ground forces attempting to take down Nilbog. During the mission, her entire squad was killed after their supporting capes ran away. She also lost her kidneys and some muscles in her legs, forcing her to use hemodialysis every night and preventing her from exercising vigorously. She was one of the only two survivors of the mission, the other being Coil.[8]

Following the event, Piggot was appointed Director of the PRT ENE.

Story Start[]

Piggot reprimanded the Brockton Bay Wards for the many disastrous actions they took while trying to prevent the Undersiders from robbing a bank. She garnished their wages to pay for the damages as would she if they were normal law enforcement agents.[12]

Post-Leviathan[]

Piggot was the one behind the decision to use Bakuda's bombs as a means to finish off the Slaughterhouse Nine.[13]

Post-Slaughterhouse Nine[]

Piggot appeared the most during the Monarch arc. When Dragon's suits were brought to Brockton Bay in an attempt to remove the hold the Undersiders and Travelers had put on the city, Piggot was taken hostage in an attempt to end the hostilities. Piggot's health issues quickly prevented a hostage situation from being viable, however, and she was released back to the PRT.[7]

During Coil's coup during the debate, Piggot was stabbed with knives thrown by Circus, incapacitating her.[14]

Post-Echidna[]

She was replaced at her post by Thomas Calvert, and when he did not show up, by the career military man James Tagg. She stayed at least for a little while to advise.[15]

Why is your nephew named Gavin? Your favorite color? Irritating- she didn’t even know her favorite color, but the algorithms had figured it out before she did. All information divined from the countless pieces of data about her that were in official emails, photographs and surveillance footage from the PRT buildings.
