She oversaw many important Cabal projects, including the creation of the Lazarus virus and the abduction of Ashley Magnus. In Season two she oversees the converted Ashley and the other Superabnormals attack the Sanctuary Network and with relish informs a distraught Helen Magnus that her daughter would be returned to her in exchange for the Sanctuary's complete surrender. What Whitcomb doesn't bargain on is Helen's determination to protect the Abnormals and her allies as well as the predicted desire to save Ashley. Indeed she is noticeably disturbed if not scared that she has made such a determined enemy when Magnus releases a Fire Elemental on her own daughter in order to defend the UK Sanctuary.
