Detective Angela Abar a.k.a. Sister Night is a main character in HBO's Watchmen.
Biography
Angela was born in Saigon, Vietnam to African-American parents two years before it became a state. Her father never told her of her grandfather, Will Reeves, for unknown reasons. It was also in Vietnam that Angela met Calvin "Cal" Abar. She was a police officer in Vietnam and sometime before 2016, Angela and Cal relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma where she continued to serve in Law Enforcement.
On December 24, 2016, Angela and Calvin were attacked in their home by members of the Seventh Kavalry as were other members of Tulsa P.D. (an event that would be known as "The White Night"). Angela killed one of her attackers and was shot in the stomach by the other. She awoke in a hospital where she'd been recovering for three days. Her partner, Doyle, was also murdered along with his wife on the same night. Angela and Cal would adopt Doyle's three children as their own.
Angela publicly would resign from the Police Force but secretly adopted the superhero moniker "Sister Night" to resume working for Tulsa P.D. and continue fighting the Seventh Kavalry. By day she owns the bakery "Milk & Hanoi" which is perpetually "Opening Soon".
As descendants of individuals affected by the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921, Angela and Cal receive Reparations via tax exemption. It would not be until 2019 that Angela would learn that it was her grandfather, Will Reeves, who survived the Tulsa Massacre.

Angela also shares all of her secrets with Cal such as the truth about Judd Crawford, meeting Will Reeves, and the supposed conspiracy in Tulsa.

Due to the events of the White Night, Angela has a hatred for all racists and the Seventh Cavalry in particular. Chief Judd Crawford even withholds informing Angela of a Kavalry shooting of a Police Officer due to this. When receiving the Little Big Horn the day afterwards, Angela immediately arrests a suspected Kavalry member from Nixonville without due process and later brutally beats him for information on their hideout.
