History:
(Amazing Fantasy II#11/2 (fb) - BTS) - At 14 she started managing her
parents' ranching operation. She was so good at it that her parents
could retire when she was 19.
She was offered jobs by several Fortune 500 companies, but chose to apply for a position as Imperial Studios location scout Nina Price's personal assistant because of the travel it involved after she had barely left Montana before.
(Amazing Fantasy II#11/2) - Inger surprised Nina during the interview because she recorded everything. Inger noted that she also recorded all her observations and notes and backed them up on her laptop. She pointed out that she would do the same to plan Nina's itinerary. Inger was surprised by Nina's full schedule because she didn't know what Nina was actually doing. The interview concluded at 7:10 and Nina promised Inger to let her know if she got the job.
At night Inger followed Nina to the zoo and overheard custodians speculate that Nina used the Apehouse quarantine room once a month because she was a drug addict and locked herself up to detox. Inger followed them and was shocked to see a white wolf jump out the room when a curious custodian opened the door to look inside. While one custodian ran away and another hid inside a cage, Inger came to the conclusion that Nina had turned into a wolf and was chasing the custodian. Inger picked a tranquilizer gun from the wall to help Nina. She ran after the wolf and the custodian, shot the white wolf with a dart and Nina transformed back into her vampire form. She shot her with another 50 cc dart, but Nina wouldn't stay down. Inger ran back to the Apehouse with Nina close behind her back in wolf form. Inger told the custodian hiding in the cage to grab a noose pole and together they caught the wolf and pushed it back inside the quarantine room. Inger closed the door even though Nina transformed back into her vampire form.
(Amazing Fantasy II#11/2 - BTS) - The custodian ran away, but Inger stayed the night to see if Nina returned to normal at daybreak.
(Amazing Fantasy II#11/2) - At 5:10 AM, five minutes after Nina stopped scratching at the door, Inger opened the door after Nina told her that it was okay to do. Inger kept pointing the tranq gun at Nina and confronted her about her wolf form. Nina promised that she wouldn't killed anyone last night because she had fed a night earlier as a vampire. She asked Inger if she still wanted the job and Inger just wanted to know if Nina would ever attack her and if her phone bills were covered. Nina promised her that she would never attack her and that phone bills were covered. Inger wanted to know how Nina became what she was before taking the job.
(Amazing Fantasy II#11/2 - BTS) - Nina must have told her why she was a Werewolf and how she became a vampire because Inger took the job as her personal assistant.
(Amazing Fantasy II#12/2 (fb) - BTS) - Inger started a worklog about her job as personal assistant for Nina Price. She only referred to Nina with the acronym VBN (Vampire by Night) in her worklogs due to her unusual status.
(Amazing Fantasy II#12/2 (fb)) - For a month Inger saw Nina's interactions with the rich and powerful and her hunts at night as a vampire and wolf. Inger was not comfortable with the killing and because she couldn't stop Nina, began tracking down violent felons and murderers at large that got away from the law. It was pretty easy for Inger to find them and direct Nina to them to avoid the death of innocents.
Inger noticed a man following them, whom she mistook as a stalker. She had seen him mostly in Los Angeles.
(Amazing Fantasy II#12/2) - Inger paid a guy named Louis (a paparazzi?) to never tell anyone else about the fact that Nina Price is a vampire and threatened him with a gun just to make sure.
(Amazing Fantasy II#12/2 - BTS) - Inger tracked down another "fugitive" for Nina to hunt.
(Amazing Fantasy II#12/2) - That day she saw the alleged stalker in downtown Toronto.
(Amazing Fantasy II#12/2) - At 4:25 AM Inger accompanied Nina to a hut in the woods. Nina asked her to stop recording because she had sensed the smell of a strange wolf nearby. The target arrived in a car and Nina attacked him, but to both women's surprise Nina had been lured into a trap by S.H.I.E.L.D. and was shot with garlic gas. Inger didn't know what to do, but fortunately Nina's uncle come to her aid.
In the morning Inger had a chance to talk to Nina's uncle Jack, who turned out to be the man she had believed to be a stalker. Inger made a new worklog entry on VBN (Vampire by Night) and WBN (Werewolf by Night).
