Altena is a ranking member of the ruling body which governs Soldats--an ancient, secret society whose power clandestinely reigns over the globe. Not much is known about Altena at the present, but there seems to be a lot of opposition to her motives within Soldats higher echelon.    The focus of Altena&#039;s efforts lies within a project known only as Le Grand Retour. While the full scope of the Le Grand Retour project remains clouded, it is believed to have something to do with the origin of Soldats and the original purpose of Noir. Should Altena succeed, it is believed that she would have the power to reshape Soldats in any way she sees fit. This prospect does not sit well with the other members of the Soldats hierarchy, but their ability to counter Altena&#039;s ambitions remains wanting to say the least.    While Altena may seem to be a gentle, motherly figure, this woman certainly possesses a dark side that is reflective in her philosophy that &quot;If love can kill people, hatred can save them.&quot; This belief is the driving force which governs all of her actions, and she has instilled this creed into Chloe, whom she raised alone within the archaic confines of the Manor.

Mireille Bouquet is a professional assassin, and a very good one at that. But when she follows up an e-mail from a young Japanese girl named Yumura Kirika, inviting her to take "a pilgrimage to the past", her life becomes even more dangerous than it already is. Now, with a haunting melody invoking the memory of an event long past, Mireille and Kirika decide to work together to find the truth about a thousand year old organization that has controlled both of their lives since before they were born. And the only clue in their search, the only thing Kirika remembers about herself, becomes their working codename: a name designating an ancient fate, of two maidens who reign over death--Noir. <br><br>

Tiffany Lynn Grant is an American voice actress who is known for her English-dubbing work with the former ADV Films on such anime films and television series as Neon Genesis Evangelion, in which she voiced the character Asuka Langley Soryu. Grant is also known for portraying Nojiko in One Piece, Altena in Noir, and Ryoko Subaru in Martian Successor Nadesico. Although appearing in ADV titles, she was an independent contractor, not an ADV employee. Grant currently works at FUNimation and Seraphim Digital.

Grant enjoyed her role as Neon Genesis Evangelion's Asuka so much that she briefly reprised the character in the radio plays and fan-produced anime derived from the fanfiction series Neon Genesis Evangelion: R, as well as cosplaying as Asuka (in Asuka's familiar red EVA-02 plugsuit and her school uniform) at anime conventions.

She was married to [Matt Greenfield](https://anilist.co/staff/101497/), director, co-founder of ADV and also a voice actor. They divorced on January 4, 2018.
