- "You know the Baroness died sipping a blanc de blanc like this? Only she had no idea it was laced with a chemical weapon that would turn her to stone."
"Which I developed with Doctor Whitehall's labs. You think I poisoned the Baroness?" - ―List and Sunil Bakshi[src]
A kill-order was sent by Octavian Bloom and Sunil Bakshi against the other leaders of HYDRA; Lance Hunter had lied, saying that Bakshi was to be killed to keep him from his rightful place as Daniel Whitehall's replacement. The Baroness was poisoned with a petrifying substance derived from the Diviner in her wine as she attended a restaurant. After taking a sip, her mouth and face turned to stone.[1]
