Character Summary

Susan was the wife of new-in-town businessman/crime boss Liam DiCapa. She arrived in town in Book 21. She wasn’t seen until she caught Jon Crawley and Jeri Wilkes sneaking up on her husband, preparing to kill him. She was the only one in the DiCapa family who knew about her husband’s true ambitions — and she totally supported them. Her kids, Desmond, Vivian, and Philip, didn’t know about her husband’s plan until near the end. . . .

 

Susan finally had her first big story in Book 31. She was sent to Seattle to kill a Senator, who was recovering in the hospital, on her husband’s orders. However, she met with resistance from not only Andre Rice and Jeri, but also from Blue and Purple Battlers Shauna Davidson and Diahandra Christian and their friend, Felicia Hooper. Their friend, Jamal O’Connor, was also recovering in the hospital. This surprised Susan to learn that there were more Battlers than she and her husband had originally thought. (They originally thought that there were six of them.) But still, she fought Shauna, Diahandra, and Felicia at a bus station and defeated them. She had them tied to seats and left a bomb behind to blow them up. Much to her dismay, the trio of girls escaped and made it to the hospital in time to help Andre and Jeri save the Senator and defeat Susan and her several henchmen.

 

In Book 32, she caught Deyon spying on Liam, who was grilling Kesse about the Battlers’ identities while he was under the influence of a truth serum meant for kidnapped UNITY agents Richard Montgomery and Jay Dixon. In Book 33, she appeared long enough to hear the news of Vivian being pregnant by Silver Battler Maurice, which infuriated both her and her husband.

 

In Book 36, she appeared to taunt the Battlers that they’d arrived at the DiCapa mansion too late to save J.J., who’d been locked in her husband’s panic room. She was found there, instead, munching on an apple. After accidentally revealing a secret Shauna and Diahandra were keeping from the other Battlers — the secret that they’d met her before — she was forced by Deyon to tell them where J.J. had been taken. She informed them that he was now on the DiCapa yacht, which was afloat in the Woodbridge Harbor. The Battlers let her live and, after finding J.J.’s Battler Crystal, which had been confiscated from him after DiCapa kidnapped him, headed off to find him. But Susan called her husband ahead of time, alerted him to the emergency, and Albert Labinnac, DiCapa’s top flunky, sailed the yacht out to sea just before they got there.

 

In Book 40, Susan, Philip, and Vivian were all in attendance for the big reveal of the Black Crystal Battlers’ true identities on the roof of the DiCapa Enterprises Office Building. DiCapa was going to reveal them himself after kidnapping and bringing five of them — Maurice, Aaron, Jon, Shauna, and Diahandra — to the building. She also watched DiCapa capture J.J. and Kesse when they got there with Deyon to save their friends. She got the bigger pleasure of watching the final fight break out between her husband and Deyon. She was the only person (aside from her son and the guards) rooting for Liam’s victory. It seemed imminent when, after Deyon’s Battler Crystal powered down on him, Liam shot him eight times. But Deyon came right back with a Crystal Advance, which transformed his Battler Crystal into a Battler Emerald. Then, Deyon was easily able to defeat Liam.

 

Everything changed for the DiCapas, however, when Deyon was about to strike a fatal blow to DiCapa that Susan, out of loyalty to her husband, knew she couldn’t let hit him. So she jumped in the way and took the blow instead. Deyon’s sword sliced deep into her neck, and she lost so much blood in one fell swoop that, after gagging and suffering a painful inability to breathe, she fell backward into her husband’s arms and died in them. Her husband would die a few minutes after her when the truth about him finally came out and he made a last-ditch attempt to unmask Deyon that would send him stumbling him over the edge of his own office building.

 

Unfortunately, Susan and Liam both died without ever getting to meet their grandson, Maurice “Maury” Eazel IV, who was born to Maurice and Vivian on Halloween, just several months after their deaths.
