You'll never take us alive

We swore that death will do us part

The world knew them as Beauty and the Beast but to each other he was Thatch and she was Izo.

They'll call our crimes a work of art

You'll never take us alive

Thatch was known as the Beast. However, his appearance was not the reason behind his gained epithet. But rather his gruesome methods of dealing with the cops. Thatch was a master swordsman; he was a sword for hire, an Assassin that guaranteed his client's target would be eliminated by sunrise unless otherwise specified. And though his skills were not a recommended method of self defense against bullets and the likes, Thatch made it work. He had knives concealed throughout his person, and two swords strapped to his back. He could disarm an enemy in a matter of seconds and that was when he would strike.

Thatch shredded his opponents, and when he was in one of his most eccentric moods he was prone to go above and beyond his norms and leave an unrecognizable mess behind. And to add to the mayhem of his dubbed name, Thatch was not above restraining himself against civilians, particularly those that spoke negatively about his love.

We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners

Izo had come to love two things in her short life. The first and foremost, was the only person she valued above her own life. And the second were the treasures of the world, mainly precious jewels and metals.

Izo was undeniably beautiful, truly deserving of the title she was given. She was beautiful beyond measure, but that in no way dampered her need to cause trouble. Izo admitted she loved the finer things in life.

She had been brought up as the only daughter of a powerful man in the underworld, and the man loved to spoil his little girl. He gave her everything she asked for, the best clothes, finest jewelry, most wonderful shoes and weaponry.

Izo was just as deadly as she was beautiful. From an early age of three, as soon as she could walk and talk properly she was taught the way of swords, and later guns. By age five she was able to tear apart and reconstruct machine guns blindfolded.

She had an affinity for them, playing with guns, and very soon held the title of marksman; she being able to shoot a target despite the considerable distance.

Partners in crime

Izo loved the riches and Thatch loved the thrill that accompanied their heists.

Partners in crime

To the public, it was unknown exactly when the two came to work as one. However, everyone was aware of the moment when their notoriety went viral. It wasn't until the two partners were captured on film that their story began to be told on every screen across the world.
