Magdha Atreides

Magdha Atredies, better known as Aries, is a professional Wizard Battler in Asanon. She is an arrogant, self-absorbed woman with very little thought or mind for others. Her specialty is conjuration, particularly relying on summoned creatures to do her work in the ring. She deeply favours a chimera she has named Icarus. She is never seen without a curious scaled octopus on her head, who she has named her familiar, Harold. In truth, however, this is nothing but a disguise. Magdha is in fact no human, but rather an exceptionally long-lived gorgon from the Underdark, who pretends that she is a human in order to entertain herself in the surface world. She is good friends with the lich Nisa Redfern.  
She has been implicated of ties to the Riptide Gang, but her lawyers managed to mitigate any sort of legal weight to the suggestion. Magdha's shot at the title in the 29th Wizard Battle title match was lost following the investigation into her potential criminal activities. She was introduced as a set-piece: a trapped damsel in the cage match, needing to rely on Atlas for a rescue that never came.
Magdha was selected by Harlequin as one of the strongest in Arlington, as someone to help defend the world from the All. She had no interest, however; she left the Gunakadeit as soon as it made first landfall. She stayed in Engiadina for a time, made a place for herself at the Seat of the Firehawk, and visited Nisa in the Underdark to complain about her current inconveniences. She repeatedly refused help to the adventurers, and it was eventually made known that she had been turning people into statuary for aesthetic purposes, including Clover's partner Tarragon. Though they turned Tarragon and the other statues back into flesh, they never did anything about the source problem.
Magdha is irresistibly attracted to blind men, leading her to hit on Cohen when he had been blinded by Caitlyn's spell.
