Biography[]

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance[]

Nadya Ketch was a rom woman, who lived her life always on the edge. Trying to change life, she started a relation with the drug dealer and mercenary Ray Carrigan, but when he was spotted by the police, Nadya was forced to jump from a window in order to avoid capture. Mortally wounded, the woman was approached by a man who offered her help, in exchange for something; Nadya had her life saved, but she agreed to give birth and to grow the Devil's son.

Ten years later, knowing that Mephisto, now going by the name Roarke, would have come to take Danny, Nadya searched for the help of an ancient religious order, and went under the protection of one of its leaders, Benedict, who welcomed them in his fortress. Ray Carrigan, now working for Roarke, attacked the fortress, and forced Nadya to flee with her son: only the intervention of Moreau permitted them to escape.

Easily found by Carrigan, Nadya was about to be killed by Carrigan's men, but Ghost Rider, called by Moreau, arrived in time to save her, even if Danny was caught. Nadya found Blaze at the same hospital she was cured in after the fight with Carrigan, and allied herself to him in order to rescue Danny. The saving succeeded, but the Rider, feeling the Devil's touch on Nadya and Danny, tried to kill them too, only to be stopped by Danny's demonic powers.

Nadya accepted to be taken to Methodius' sanctuary, a secret place in which the monks, according to Moreau, would have protected her and Danny until the time of the prophecy passed. Unkowingly to Moreau, anyway, Methodius' intention is to kill the boy, and Nadya is unable to protect him. During the ceremony, anyway, Danny is once again taken by Carrigan, now Blackout, and the monks are killed. Freed, Nadya allied with a powerless Blaze and Moreau to take her son back. Once reached the place in which Roarke wanted to take possession of the child's body, Nadya provided backfire to Moreau and Blaze while they rescued Danny. In the following pursuit, Nadya was attacked by Blackout while driving a truck, and was saved by Ghost Rider, who, later, returned her unarmed child in her arms. Free from Roarke's menace, Nadya and Danny left, sure of the fact that Ghost Rider, turned from Spirit of Vengeance to Angel of Justice, will always protect them.
