Celia Rawlings
Celia Rawlings was a British woman and sister of scientist Cedric Rawlings, the lord of Greymoor Castle. For much of his career, Cedric as dissatisfied with the acclaim and respect he had achieved. This feeling was only exacerbated when Celia interfered in a laboratory experiment, causing him to lose his hand and have it replaced with a metal prosthetic. Celia was endlessly remorseful for her mistake, to the point of staying by Cedric's side much longer than she otherwise might have. During World War II, Cedric turned against the Allied forces and offered his services to the Nazis, seeking glory and recognition for his work. Celia tried her best to convince her brother not to side with the Axis, but he repeatedly ignored her. Nazis led by Major Richard Uberhart used Greymoor Castle as a base of operations, and soon captured American heroes Captain America and Bucky there. The two fought their way out with help from Celia, who was killed by Nazi gunfire. Cedric realized how wrong he was to trust the Nazis, and helped Cap and Bucky fire a missile to defeat a Nazi force in occupied France. Distraught and maddened by his sister's death, Cedric detonated a series of explosives throughout the castle, destroying it and killing himself and all of the Nazis inside, including Uberhart, while Cap and Bucky narrowly escaped.[1][2][3]
