Amber is a professional assassin who Murdoc refers to as his wife. She's Cassian's mother.

History[]

According to Murdoc, he met Amber in Moscow, Russia, when both parties were hired separately to assassinate the same target. Amber and Murdoc fired on the target at the same time and both hit the target, making it impossible to know who actually made the kill. They decided to split the payment and subsequently fell in love.[1] It is unknown how long Amber knew Murdoc before Cassian’s birth or how long she spent as an involved parent.

Amber was imprisoned in Serbia for three years, from approximately 2016 through 2019. Five days after escaping, she kidnapped Cassian as a ploy to collect ransom money from Murdoc. After receiving the money, she admitted she had no interest in being a mother and told Murdoc that Cassian was all his.

Her plan to escape was foiled when Murdoc caused a car crash and shot her associates. Although Murdoc could have killed Amber, he let her walk away.

Season 2[]

Murdoc tases, kidnaps, and drugs MacGyver and holds him in the basement of an abandoned warehouse, demanding to know where his son, Cassian, is being held by the Phoenix Foundation. He tells MacGyver that Cassian’s mother was a woman named Nadia, whom he smothered shortly after she gave birth. MacGyver, detecting a lie, believes that Nadia was Murdoc’s target at the time he met her. [2]

Season 3[]

After escaping from her Serbian prison cell in 2019, Amber concocts a plan to collect millions of dollars in ransom money from her estranged husband, Murdoc, by having their son Cassian kidnapped. Although she claims that three years in prison changed her perspective on everything, it’s soon revealed that she has no interest in Cassian other than money. Murdoc kills her associates but lets her escape, warning her to never come near their son again. The incident causes Murdoc to reconsider what’s best for his son, and he agrees to let MacGyver take him into custody as long as the Phoenix Foundation will safeguard Cassian.

Notes[]

  • Crystal Danver is one of Amber's favorite aliases.[3]
