History
Hydra has reportedly been around in one form or another since the days of Ancient Egypt, and it's evolved into one of the most dangerous criminal organizations on Earth. The latest incarnation sprang from the ruins of World War II-era Germany and Japan, and various factions of it have wavered back and forth between organized crime and fascist power. Hydra recruits agents all around the world. In public, they know each other by secret signals and whispers of "Hail Hydra." In secret, they don their green-and yellow uniforms and chant the Hydra oath: "Hail, Hydra! Immortal Hydra! We shall never be destroyed! Cut off one head, two more shall take its place! We serve none but the Master-as the world shall soon serve us! Hail Hydra!"
Personality
Agents join Hydra for a number of reasons that usually boil down to money and power. They believe that Hydra can take over any organization or government, and they want to be on the winning side, no matter what they have to do to manage it. The Hydra uniform makes them mostly anonymous, fitting well with their oath to replace one fallen agent with two more just like them.
