Maven was Selina Kyle's best friend and secretary. She knew about Selina's activities as Catwoman but out of loyalty never said anything about it.

[edit] History

How Selina and Maven met is unrevealed but it's hinted that Maven worked with Selina for several years and that the two shared a strong bond. When Selina decided to don a costume and stalk the city as Catwoman Maven assisted her friend. Specifically, she functioned much as Alfred Pennyworth does for Batman in that she helped Selina maintain her secret identity and managed the details of her everyday life. She believed Selina's actions to be for the best as they helped aminals in need.

Unfortunately, her affiliation with Catwoman got Maven into trouble with Red Claw who had wanted to contain the security risk that Catwoman represented to her operations. As such, a hired thug attacked her and if it weren't for the timely intervention of Batman she would have been killed.

Maven continued to serve Catwoman even after she had been taken to jail for her crimes and stood by her during her time in prison and subsequent release and probation. Unfortunately, she had accidentally left a window open allowing Isis, Selina's favorite cat, to escape into the city where she was captured and infected with a virus that Roland Daggett planned to release into the city. After these events, Maven disappeared and has not been seen since.
