History[]
Kate Fraser was a Scotland Yard Detective Inspector who was a part of Chief Inspector Dai Thomas's team. She was sympathetic to Captain Britain, whom Thomas hated because he had personal issues with superheroes.
When helping Captain Britain to foil a bank robbery Fraser was reluctant to shoot to kill armed criminals, claiming to have "died too many times to wish death on anyone else, no matter how evil he is." She also seemed to be haunted by the memory of having caused one or more deaths. Annoyingly, Captain Britain was a gentleman and had far too much old-fashioned British tact and reticence to ask for the story behind her rather outlandish comments.
