| HistoryText
| - Vienna is the illegitimate daughter of the renegade Judge Rico Dredd, who was a clone of the man who instituted Mega-City One's legal system, Judge Fargo. She was conceived after he had been sentenced to imprisonment on Titan, when he had sex in his prison cell with a journalist called Fabienne Brown who was writing an exposé on the penal colony and ended up exposing more than she had originally intended to. When Dredd found out he sentenced Fabienne to two years in the iso-cubes for "fraternising with a prisoner." While in the cubes she was attacked and killed by another inmate, and the infant Vienna was given to a guardian called Mrs Pasternak. Joseph Dredd visited her regularly, pushing her on the swings and even calling her "darling." But when Vienna was kidnapped by a man whom Dredd had previously arrested, and who wanted revenge, Dredd decided once he'd rescued her that it was too dangerous for her to know him any more. She loved him, and that would only make it harder for her when the inevitable happened and he died in the line of duty. Vienna and Mrs Pasternak were sent to Brit-Cit.
Twenty-three years later Vienna, now an actor, returned to Mega-City One and confronted Dredd about his decision to sever contact with her: "Didn't it occur to you, Uncle Joe, that maybe it's better to love someone and lose them than never to be loved at all?" Dredd didn't tell her that he had been monitoring her from afar: "Hadn't he always kept an eye on her? Hadn't he read every school report they'd sent him, watched her grow up from a computer terminal an ocean away?" However, his job meant that he had to break his promise to attend a performance of her play, and Vienna returned to Brit-Cit feeling bitterly disappointed.
Dredd then got a call from Mrs Pasternak telling him that Vienna had gone missing. This came as a shock, not least because Mrs Pasternak had died the month before. It turned out that Vienna had been kidnapped, drugged and brainwashed by Satanists who wanted to use her to lure Dredd to them so they could sacrifice him to release a demon — the sacrifice of "someone infinitely good" was required. Dredd assured them that they'd got the wrong guy and just as the Satanist was about to kill him a bolt of lightning struck the ceremonial dagger and incinerated him. Dredd's response: "Guess somebody up there likes me!"
Vienna was left severely traumatised and amnesiac by her ordeal, but Dredd took her back to Mega-City One and vowed to care for her diligently until she was well again. As she recovered, dealing with agoraphobia and panic attacks, she struck up a relationship with Rico, Dolman and the hideously deformed Dredd-clone named Nimrod. Vienna was asked to give her permission for Nimrod to be euthanised, but before she could do so Nimrod saved her from the after-effects of a terrorist bomb attack. Unfortunately, he was left so severely injured by this event that Dredd had to execute him as an act of mercy.
Vienna was then kidnapped by a Sov agent who had pretended to be her boyfriend and had murdered her best friend. Dredd rescued her again, and she saved his life by shooting a man who was about to snap his neck. Vienna subsequently discovered that the Sov agent had caused her to become pregnant. The foetus was removed from her womb for 'pre-natal adoption', and its eventual fate is currently unknown.
Despite her unfortunate origins and even more unfortunate adulthood, riddled as it has been with a plethora of traumas, Vienna is a sensible, decent and basically self-sufficient individual who has a strong affection for Judge Dredd and for his clone, Judge Rico . She loves them as her family but has grave misgivings about the system of justice they represent. Dredd, in turn, has a grudging affection for Vienna, the only person he seems willing to concede such feelings for. Vienna also keeps in touch with Dredd's other clone, Dolman.

| - She loved her uncle enormously, but was unaware of her father's fate until in 2101 she was kidnapped by the electronics genius Harry Carmen. Carmen had held a grudge against Dredd after he had incarcerated him for six years for a computer fraud, and he chose to seek his revenge through the child. Dredd managed to rescue Vienna, but not before Carmen revealed that the Judge had killed her father. Vienna forgave him, but Dredd, to ensure her future safety, vowed to see her less often in future and asked her guardian, Mrs Pasternak, to ensure that the girl would forget him rather than risk the heartbreak of her hearing about his death on the streets of Mega-City One, or be taken hostage again. She did not appear in the comic again for 23 years. After growing up in Brit-Cit, Vienna re-entered Dredd's life as an adult in 2124 (prog 1300). The following year she was abducted by a Brit-Cit Satanist cabal in order to bring Dredd out; guilty over the whole affair, he took her back to Mega-City One so he could help her better. She has been abducted and endangered a number of times since then due to being Dredd's niece, much to his distress. It has been shown that Vienna is the only thing in the world Dredd cares about besides the law. As the daughter of his clone-brother, genetically speaking she could have been Dredd's daughter, and he has lately had to come to terms with his quasi-paternal instinct. When she was caught in the Total War bombing of Sector 2, Dredd acted to save her first instead of being impartial. He attempted to resign from the force at the end of this debacle but Chief Judge Hershey pointed out that it does him good to be human once in a while. Soon afterwards, Vienna fell out with Dredd and was seduced by an East Meg assassin who planned to use her against her uncle. Dredd managed to save her and in the process she demonstrated that she had inherited her father's fighting talent, ruthlessly dispatching a soldier guarding her while handcuffed.
