RESUME: MALA GLAMORA has grown up in and around the GLOBAL TOURING CIRCUS.

A child star of the trapeze, she was to develop her act to include lion taming and knife throwing. The scar on her left thigh, caused by an enraged lion, is a reminder of her dangerous upbringing.

SPECIALIST SKILLS: Her showbiz background has helped Mala develop other talents. She is an expert in disguising herself - not just with her clothes, but also adopting different personalities.

PERSONAL: Mala is some beauty; discovered by the editor of an influential fashion magazine, Mala became the favourite of an important Parisian designer. A smart move - she cleverly uses her catwalk connections to aid her theft.

She collects jewellery and shoes. A particular penchant is for long leather boots which she buys in the best shops of Paris and Milan.

CONFIDENTIAL: Almost unrecognisable in disguise, the only one who is able to identify her in disguise is LUPO. The secret? Her perfume: Channel 13.
