Bio: Born into a wealthy family in Canterlot, Faded Glory lead a comfortable if somewhat spoiled life growing up. She was given expensive toys and clothes, sent to one of the very best private schools, and received private tutoring in a number of areas. For the most part she stuck to the rich kid lifestyle, picking up a sense of refinement and haughtiness as she aged. She gained her cutie mark on a business trip with her father, using her keen observational skills to identify a forgery that her father had been attempting to purchase. She continued to help out with the family business until her father grew too old to continue, and inherited ownership from him while she was still only barely out of her teens. She had been taught well, and the business remained as strong as ever for a number of years. Things changed, however, when she became involved in a set of strange and mysterious deaths while on a business trip. During these events, she aided a group of monster hunters known as the Vigil in finding and bringing down the creatures that had been doing the killings. This event changed her worldview, and she was no longer able to enjoy the comfortable life she'd led, knowing that at any time it could be taken from her by supernatural forces. Unable to go back to the way things had been, she tracked down the Vigil and joined them. With a new goal to strive for, Glory poured her family's considerable resources into financing the organization, her fortune dwindling as she supported their endeavors. She continued to run her business however, even as she allowed her residence and shop to be used as a headquarters for the Vigil. While she still makes enough money to support herself and her business quite comfortably, much of her earnings are used to procure equipment and other things for the Vigil's cause. Currently, she is the co-leader of one of the Canterlot branches, based out of her home and place of business.

Personality: Faded Glory is generally courteous and friendly, and while her service with the Vigil has removed much of her former snobbish attitude, she retains a sense of pride, now for her work and own personal skills more than for her wealth. She enjoys the finer things in life, and spends most of her time working in research and procurement of resources. However, she has become quite competent in combat, and is not afraid to get her hooves dirty should the need arise.

Residence: Glory's Antiques, a large three story building just off Canterlot's main business district that serves as her home and place of work. Originally the top two floors served as her family's home, with the bottom being designated for the operations of the family business. Glory has converted the second floor into a headquarters for the Vigil's operations in Canterlot, which also serves as a semi-permanent living space for Vigilants who are either traveling or have no place of their own. In addition; the basement; originally used for storage of objects to be sold; is now used for equipment, with business storage having been moved to a small warehouse elsewhere.

Usual Equipment:
- A quartet of old, ornate pistols similar to flintlock designs which use a magic-based propulsion system and are heavily enchanted. Capable of firing any object which can fit down the barrel. Projectiles are imbued with a disruptive field which allows them to pierce magical and supernatural defenses and harm creatures which would otherwise be unaffected by normal weapons. Can only hold one shot each and need to be reloaded after every firing. Glory typically uses fairly standard (though jacketless) pistol ammo.
- A small silver earring. Enhances Glory's senses allowing her to notice things she otherwise wouldn't. Worn on her left ear.
