Sameen Shaw is introduced as an ISA Agent in Relevance, until the organisation betrays her and kills her best friend, Michael Cole. The ISA believes she has some knowledge of the Northern Lights program. Helped by Team Machine, Shaw fakes her own death and begins to start helping them, first to track down her would-be torturer Root, and then later to dismantle the antagonist organization Samaritan.
