Bertha is a lady of contradictions. She could be described equally as a doctor with an appreciation for the importance of killing, or a killer with a strong interest in helping the sick and needy.
For the sick, infirm, and injured, Bertha is a brave and confident medical professional who spares no effort in speeding up the recovery of those under her care. For those that Bertha deems insufficiently appreciative of others, or worse, plagues upon humanity, she takes on the role of eraser of evil from the human experience. In keeping with the medical theme of Bertha's work, she has even chosen a strange type of weapon modeled after an enormous syringe, which symbolizes her philosophy that "the best medicine is sometimes the one that kills the patient."

Adjudicator Story
Bertha's evolution to punisher of the wayward began with an idyllic childhood in a wealthy city-state.
Known as a hub of the most advanced medicine anywhere on the Tundra, Bertha was proud to walk in the footsteps of those around her. She too swore an oath to do no harm when helping others. After all, she thought, "Isn't the Tundra cold enough as it is? Only the hopeful spark of humanity out there in the bitter cold can give purpose to our lives."
Years of training gave Bertha the skills to be considered one of the top nurses in her city. A chance encounter here provided Bertha with another view of the potential side-effects of the nurse's creed and the consequences of neutrality.
A high-ranking general presented Bertha's to ward with severe injuries. Bertha and many high-profile doctors did their best to nurse the lady-commander back to health. The sense of achievement was short-lived. Shortly after the general was discharged, a steady stream of bandit attacks began to hit neighboring cities. These attacks only increased in viciousness until finally even Bertha's city saw a touch of the desolation and fire spreading elsewhere.
Only when a significant bounty was posted for the bandit leader's arrest did Bertha finally realize their enemy was in fact the so-called "general" whose life they had saved that day in the operating theater: Queen of Violence, Zenobia.
"Do no harm" had made Bertha and her team accomplices to the deaths of thousands. As Zenobia continued her reign of terror, Bertha was forced to confront the cost of wielding only a scalpel of healing rather than of death. Her soul-searching ended when she realized that just as she might cut a disease out of a sick patient, she must also help humanity by cleansing evil from the Tundra.
Bertha had found new purpose in life: cleansing the world of the more subtle disease of lawbreakers, bandits, and all others who practice the poison of selfishness. Queen Zenobia would fall one day, but in the meantime all evildoers would be fair game for her needle of justice. As she herself says:
"Death is also a cure for disease."
