Fictional character biography

G'iah is an agent who was chosen to mate with fellow agent Klrr, as she came from the Skrull planet where most of the offspring became Warskrulls. The two eventually developed a genuine relationship with each other. Both lived on Earth and raised their three daughters together, under the guise of a normal American family. During a mission, their daughter, Ivy, was captured and seemingly murdered by Project Blossom, a secret organization dedicated to hunting down undercover Skrull agents. One of G'iah's daughters, Alkss II, faced an agent from Project Blossom who attempted to kill the family at their house, but was murdered by Alkss II. G'iah became repulsed with what her family has become, as Klrr congratulated his daughter. While retrieving a device that allows Project Blossom to locate the Skrulls, G'iah discovered that Ivy was still alive, finding her inside a facility. Moloth, a Skrull agent, murdered Klrr, and attempted to capture the rest of the family while posing as Klrr. G'iah recognized him, and Alkss II eventually murdered Moloth. After Project Blossom fell apart, G'iah and her three daughters began to search for a safe place. G'iah later acknowledged a message from Emperor Dorrek Vell declaring that the
