Nicole Horne (1952 - 2001) was the CEO of Aesir Corporation from at least the early 1990's up until 2001. A ruthless and amoral businesswoman, Horne was responsible for the killing of Max Payne's wife and daughter and the production of designer drug Valkyr. Due to Horne's wrinkled appearance, she is known as 'the witch' and 'the hag' until Max Payne uncovers her name in relation to a government research project known as Project Valhalla, along with her rival Alfred Woden and the secret society 'The Inner Circle', of which she was once a member. The main goal of the research was to create a chemical drug to increase the morale and stamina of US military soldiers. The project was cancelled in 1995, due to the fact that the test subjects lost their minds and the end result was unsatisfactory.

  • Nicole Horne (1952 - 2001) was the CEO of Aesir Corporation from at least the early 1990's up until 2001. A ruthless and amoral businesswoman, Horne was responsible for the killing of Max Payne's wife and daughter and the production of designer drug Valkyr. Due to Horne's wrinkled appearance, she is known as 'the witch' and 'the hag' until Max Payne uncovers her name in relation to a government research project known as Project Valhalla, along with her rival Alfred Woden and the secret society 'The Inner Circle', of which she was once a member. The main goal of the research was to create a chemical drug to increase the morale and stamina of US military soldiers. The project was cancelled in 1995, due to the fact that the test subjects lost their minds and the end result was unsatisfactory. Horne, however, continued to create the chemical under the name Valkyr, selling it on streets as a designer drug. Horne began to use the Punchinello crime family, the strongest Mafia gang in New York City for her Valkyr trades, even though the head of the family, Angelo Punchinello, never met Horne in person. Her rival and fellow member of the Inner Circle, Alfred Woden, tried to expose Horne's business, but was blackmailed into silence via sex tapes filmed by hooker Candy Dawn. In 1998, Woden sent a few documents about Project Valhalla to the computer of a D.A. worker, Michelle Payne. Fearing public exposure, Horne deployed a few insane Valkyr test subjects to eliminate her. Michelle's husband, Max Payne, arrived at the house, where he found his family slain, starting a three-year quest of revenge. During his quest for revenge, Max initially believed that the Punchinello mob are behind the murder until Punchinello himself was killed at his manor by Horne's men. Casually strolling from her helicopter into the manor, Horne stumbled upon Max, who was held at gunpoint by her men. Horne injected him with an overdose of Valkyr as an attempt to kill him. Max later got support from Alfred Woden, who promised that if Payne eliminated Horne, Woden would remove all the charges against him. During Woden's briefing, Horne sent her men to kill the members of the Inner Circle and Woden. However, Max escaped the gunfire while Woden survived the massacre by hiding behind corpses. Max attacked the Aesir Headquarters, Horne's lair, in order to finish the CEO once and for all. He sided with an assassin who worked for Horne, Mona Sax, who is shot by one of Horne's men. At her office, Horne was confronted by Max. She told him that all the killings occurred because of his wife being nosy, as well taunting him that he will be dead by the time the police arrive. Horne tried to escape on the rooftop, waiting for her helicopter. Max shoots the cables supporting the main broadcast antenna of the building, and the antenna collapsed, crushing the helicopter, and resulting in Horne's death.
