Mai Xiaowen

(I make game accurate characters so you don't have to today Hackclaw aka Mai Xiaowen) Description: Mai Xiaowen, known in the field as “Hack Claw,” is a blend of two extremes — a ghost in the network and a storm in close quarters. Born and raised in Chengdu, China, Xiaowen was a gifted coder from a young age, mastering encryption and data infiltration by the time she was sixteen. Her skill set caught the attention of a covert PLA cyber unit, but her rebellious streak and disdain for bureaucracy led to her quiet dismissal after a classified incident that left an entire digital surveillance grid blind for twelve hours. Recruited by an international task group, she transitioned into Delta Force’s Cyber Recon Division, where her mix of digital warfare and aggressive breach tactics made her indispensable. While most hackers hide behind screens, Hack Claw leads the charge — her custom gauntlet, embedded with retractable carbon claws and a compact hacking interface, allows her to breach both locked systems and enemy armor in seconds. Her gear is sleek, mixing tactical stealth black with neon cyan circuits pulsing through her armor — a visual signature of her “live link” to the digital battlefield.
