History: (100 Bullets #70, 71) - Anna and Lars were heirs to the house of Nagel of the Trust, a group of America's richest and most powerful families. The Trust attended the funeral of Axel Nagel, killed by Javier Vasco, and his children Anna and Lars were none too happy that the house of Nagel was to be absorbed by the rest of the Trust.Mia Simone told them not to fret, because they'd always be rich, and the politics of running a family in the Trust had a way of getting to people. Augustus, accompanied by Lono, said he regretted the death of Fulvio Carlito, but he knew the Trust had enemies within. He said he would forgive the past if the conspirators stopped, and told them they had to stick together to survive Agent Graves. He decided the house of Nagel would stand, and told Anna and Lars to decided between themselves who would lead it. Anna got ready to go clubbing, and told her brother to decide which one of them should be in charge. She reminded him that even though they were twins she was five minutes younger and much more experienced in the ways of the world, but promised nothing about their extremely close relationship would change.

(100 Bullets #72-74) - Lars drowned his sorrows in a private room, and Vasco and Vermeer joined him. They told him he had to start thinking like a member of the Trust, and said he was right not to trust his sister saying she didn't care who ran the House of Nagel. Vasco got him a scotch, his father's favorite drink. Anna was waylaid by her father's friend Otto, shoved into a car and met by Lono. They drove past the club El Quijole to see the tail-end of Lars meeting with Vasco and Vermeer, and Anna was none too happy to see her brother talking to heads of the Trust without her. Lono had her driven home, after telling her that Vasco had her father killed and insinuating that Lars was plotting against her with him, and she waited for her brother to return. She gave him a poisoned drink, and was shocked to learn he'd turned down Vasco's offer to run the house of Nagel, preferring to put his trust in his sister. She told him to put his drink down, but it was too late to save his life. In despair she spiked her own drink and committed suicide. The Trust voted to absorb the house of Nagel, and Megan told Augustus he'd gotten just what he wanted.
