Reese Zane was Walt Zane's daughter and heir of the Zane Pharmaceuticals company.[citation needed]
Biography[]
When her father went missing during an expedition into a South American jungle, Reese hired Deepscan to track him down. As Zane Pharmaceuticals was about to go public, Reese stressed how important it was that they bring her father back quickly, discreetly, and alive. Against Major Billings's wishes, Reese insisted on joining the Deepscan Slayers on their mission into the jungle. A group of Surinamese new vampires ambushed them, but Faith saved Reese by shooting off the head of the vampire that was about to attack her.[citation needed]
Although they found Reese's father in the jungle, Walt revealed a woman had sired him and he retreated to the jungle, where he sired a group of tribesman because he felt that vampirism — particularly with the new immunity to sunlight caused by the new rules of magic — represented the ideal cure for death that he had been seeking all his life. Walt attempted to convince his daughter to let him turn her so that they could share this "breakthrough" with the rest of the world, but Reese staked him instead.[citation needed]
Reese was intrigued by the possibility of using magic for medical breakthroughs and asked Faith to accept a new job as head of security for Zane Pharmaceuticals' new business in London. In their laboratories, Reese helped the Slayer and his friend Angel to save the resurrected Winifred Burkle to control Illyria.[citation needed]
