Sparta

Sparta (also known as Linda Nagy and Ellen Troy) is a Space Board Inspector, and the main protagonist of the Venus Prime series. A graduate of the Specified Aptitude Resources Training and Assessment program (or SPARTA, from which she draws her name), she was altered by the prophetae of the Free Spirit, a cult that sought to make her into their top agent.

Early life
Born Linda Nagy, the daughter of a pair of Hungarian-born psychologists, the girl who would become Sparta showed incredible intelligence from an early age. She was thus the first student of her parents' Specified Aptitude Resource Training and Assessment program, which sought to prove that intelligence could be developed in anyone, and thus supposed I.Q. tests were actually meaningless.
