Biography[]
2010s[]
During the 2010s, Susan was an NCPD officer member of the MAX-TAC unit of Night City. Being one of the most highly trained individuals within the PD, she requested to be transferred to the State Executioner position for Northern California after getting seriously wounded in a firefight. Her resume allowed Forrest to be accepted and left MAX-TAC behind. Her new responsibilities mostly included performance of legal executions by close-range pistol shot, pursuit of fugitives under sentence of death, supervision of the security Death Row prisoners, direction/supervision of alternative state executions, among others. It was a tough job, as the chances of getting murdered by a psycho while chasing them were pretty high; thus a State Executioner needed to be good and prepared to deal with every eventuality. However, the pay was great and the provided resources were of the highest quality.
In 2019, Susan Forrest executed over twenty confirmed fugitives and apprehended many more as well. Considered one of the toughest officers, she loved her work, only dedicated to hunting down and killing criminals with a zeal that could only be described as religious. Some compared her effectiveness to her good looks, which were no small amount. Susan didn't have much patience over punks, and took a great pride on her job, especially when tracking someone down. At the same time, Forrest was a level-headed and rational woman, though getting on her bad side was the last mistake many punks did, since at the end of the day, you don't get a job as a State Executioner by being a nice person.[1][2]
2020s[]
In 2020, Forrest was rated as the number eight solo professional in the business by the "Solo of Fortune Annual 2020 Awards" and was also one of the most famous State Executioners. That same year, Susan became the new commander of the US Marshal's Service Special Crimes Unit.[2]
