Specialist Monika "IQ" Weiss is as active physically as she is intellectually. This can be manifest as borderline obsessive behavior when tackling obstacles that are perceived to be difficult or exceptionally challenging. This facility, however, has conditioned her to refuse failure as an acceptable outcome. Weiss and her teammates subsequently accepted Kali's offer and officially left Rainbow.Ī brilliant overachiever and fast learner, Weiss has been successful at nearly everything she tries. At the event's conclusion, Kali officially cut ties with Rainbow and called for those on her team to join Nighthaven. In early 2022, Weiss was placed on Team Kali for the annual Six Invitational. The trip left quite an impression on Weiss, leading her to seriously consider leaving Rainbow and the GSG 9 to join Nighthaven. Anja "Osa" Janković allowed her to test out the organization's various high tech equipment, including a new tracking system. In late 2021, Weiss and several other Rainbow operatives were invited by Jaimini "Kali" Shah to visit Nighthaven's R&D facility at the organization's base in Singapore. Despite their efforts, Weiss and her team were eliminated from the tournament. In late 2020, Weiss was placed on Team Vigil, led by Chul "Vigil" Kyung, for the Six Invitational. She also developed a friendly rivalry with Jack "Pulse" Estrada. Weiss became a valued member of Rainbow's R&D department where she performed evaluations for several operative devices and collaborated to refine Collinn "Warden" McKinley's Smart Glasses. Over the next few years, she participated in dozens of missions involving the White Masks and other terrorist organizations. Weiss and several other GSG 9 personnel were recruited into the revived Rainbow in 2015. After two years with the BPOL, she was recruited by the GSG 9. Both the physical and mental challenges of the job appealed to Weiss and she quickly moves through the ranks. Weiss returned to Germany after traveling the world for a year to work with military technology research before joining the Bundespolizei (BPOL) as an officer. Weiss then joined Caltech for graduate studies in experimental electrical engineering. She was invited to MIT, where she focused on electrical engineering, achieving accolades for her research in Microelectronics. Thriving in the gifted program enabled Weiss to complete her first internship with a local tech company at the age of sixteen. Weiss' mother is a renowned mathematician and her father is an inventor whose high academic standards encouraged Weiss and her siblings to win numerous awards in math, science, and music throughout their school years.
