Origin

Capris Castiglione (Estacado) is the twin sister of Jackie Estacado. Fearing for her child, Capris' mother gave her to Father Brendan, in hopes that he could find a way to save her from darkness that would take Jackie upon his 21st birthday. As such, Capris grew up in orphanage with Father Brendan raised her as his own. Shortly after turning 18 Capris found her best friend and roommate dead in their room. After the police closed off the room Farther Brendan and Capris went through as they could not understand why Blair would kill herself when she was suddenly so happy as her life appeared to be on the fast track. Capris was looking for Blair's diary, hidden behind her headboard, and in addition to the book she found several video cassettes. The tapes showed that Blair and someone that the duo knew, were part of an illegal porno movie operation. Upon turning the evidence over to the police, the case was closed and the tapes were destroyed citing that nothing good would come from the scandal if the tapes were released.

When father Brendan was dying he revealed everything about her lineage to Capris. Some time later she met Ripclaw of Cyberforce, who taught her to use her Darkness powers.

Ripclaw

Five years later and still full of hatred, she sought out the men responsible for Blair's death. She disguised herself as a stripper named Tiffany and managed to kill them. Ripclaw followed her on the revenge trip with the offer of additional training in handling the Darkness' power. She met her brother Jackie Estacado for the first time and she told him where Angelus held Frankie. When Jackie had to travel to the spirit world with Ripclaw to fight Cherubs, Capris was tasked with taking care of their bodies and keeping Jenny company. She joined Jackie in destroying the Cherubs, and they then went their own ways.

Alkonost

She recently appeared as a child in one of Jackie's dreams and with good reason: Jackie would eventually find out while trying to destroy one of Sovereign's statues that the young version of Capris was a bait of Sovereign and a returning Sonatine.

Outer Darkness

When the Darkness itself was looking for a new host, because Jackie didn't want to use it's full power, Capris head the call and came to claim the power for her own. She made her presence known by cutting Elle in half, and then she fought Jackie. The fight was interrupted by Foreigner, who negated the Darkness power, allowing Jackie to use the gauntlet of cleansed darkness to kill her.

Total Darkness

Capris was swallowed by the Darkness like all bearers before her. While Jackie was inside the Darkness, he encountered Capris. She didn't remember who she was, but she thought she recognized Jackie, Jackie told her who she was, before she was dissolved to be re-purposed by the Darkness.

Powers & Abilities

Capris has access to a small portion of the darkness. She primarily uses it to teleport objects from one point to another (including herself). She occasionally uses her power to kill (in many of the ways Jackie himself does) and can kill Darklings.
