Little is known of the woman called Golden Claw. In a short period of time she was, through threats and intimidation, able to gain a foothold in Toronto's underworld. The Golden Claw aimed to unite Toronto's Underworld under her direction. When her protection racket entered the neighborhood of Kit Baxter, aka the Flying Squirrel, she was captured in a sting executed by the Red Panda and sent to jail. While behind bars she still held influence and concocted a scheme to discredit the Red Panda. Thanks to the help of Tom Tomorrow the plan was foiled.

Some time later, The Golden Claw acquired another identity through unknown means. Using a secret method of Body Transference she took on the identity of "Margaret Horace" in an attempt to lead the Red Panda into a trap. The trap was foiled through the intervention of the Flying Squirrel and she was sent yet again to prison.

Later, when one of Red Panda's pneumatic tubes was found by a hapless burglar, she was arrested again after she participated in an auction among the criminal underworld for the location.

In The Endgame the Golden Claw has teamed up with The Syndicate. she was employed by syndicate to run there criminal enterprise during that time she had become intimately involved with their leader Commander Varkin.

Using her keen mind she uses force and intimidation to lead her underlings. Failure is not an option in Golden Claw's employ. She will liquidate any who fail her or get in her way. The Golden Claw has unknown connections that grant her access to information unknown to few. Her latest Ploy allowed her to possibly usurp a young woman's body in attempt to escape justice.
