True to her alias, Opal Odyssey is a deep and multifaceted woman.  Born to deaf parents, she was raised in a home where sign language was the only language spoken, and thus, as a child, she suffered from speech delays.  Despite her early struggles with oral language, she displayed a linguistic aptitude which she honed with age.

 

At age 28, she was employed by the U.S. government as a translator.  It quickly became apparent that her talents in decoding language could be used elsewhere, and she was moved to the CIA to work as a codebreaker.  It was there that she met agent Brian Littrell, whose warm, charismatic personality provided the perfect contrast to her soft-spoken, reserved manner.

 

Due to her guarded personality and many different faces, Opal is hard to get to know, but those who do know her see her as highly intelligent and articulate, compassionate, tolerant, and always willing to lend a listening ear.
